Abstract

A cladding system including a panel guide, wherein said panel guide is configured to provide alignment and spacing between panels. The panel guide having a central gap, at least one or more weather strip mounting area, and a mounting extension, wherein said mounting extension is configured to mount said panel guide to the wall. The cladding system further include a U cover that is configured to install in the central gap. The U cover includes a screw cover place holder that is configured to secure a screw cover for covering a fastening screw that is used to secure the panel guide and said U cover to the wall.

Claims

 a first base, said first base is configured to attach to the wall; 
 a central gap, wherein said central gap is configured to allow for an insertion of a U cover, and wherein said central gap is further configured to create spacing between panels; 
 a first pair of arms, wherein said first pair of arms are coupled to said first base to form said central gap; 
 a first pair of wings, wherein each wing is configured to hold a first surface of an edge of the panel; 
 at least one or more weather strip mounting area, wherein each mounting area is configured to house at least a weather strip; 
 a mounting extension, wherein said mounting extension is configured to mount said panel guide to the wall; and 
 a first base fastening screw hole; 
   a U cover, wherein said U cover is configured to install in said central gap, and wherein said U cover is further configured to secure the panel, in which said U cover comprise;
 a second base; 
 a second base fastening screw hole; 
 a second pair of arms, wherein each of said pair of second arms is configured to couple to said second base, and wherein said pair of second arms and second base is configured to form a cavity and create the spacing between the panels; 
 a screw cover place holder, said screw cover place holder is configured to secure a screw cover; and 
 a second pair of wings, wherein each wing being configured to hold a second surface of the edge of the panel; 
   and   a screw cover, wherein said screw cover being configured to cover a fastening screw used to secure said panel guide and U cover to the wall.   
     
     
         2 . The cladding system of  claim 1 , wherein said system is configured to permit installation of various building panel materials including at least one of, a metal, a plastic, wood, and cement boards, onto walls, floors, or ceiling. 
     
     
         3 . The cladding system of  claim 1 , wherein said first pair of wings and said second pair of wings are configured to hold various thickness of panels. 
     
     
         4 . The cladding system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one or more weather strips, said weather strips are configured to be inserted along weather strip mounting area to prevent water from being trapped under panels after installation. 
     
     
         5 . The cladding system of  claim 1 , in which said first pair of wings comprise a corrugated upper or top surface configured to increase a grip on the panel edge. 
     
     
         6 . A system comprising:
 means for installing panels;   means for mounting said panel installing means to a wall;   means for creating a spacing between the panels;   means for holding an edge of the panel;   means for housing at least a weather strip;   means for attaching said panel installing means to the wall;   means for installing in said spacing;   means for creating the spacing between the panels;   means for covering a fastening screw; and   means for securing said fastening screw covering means;   
     
     
         7 . A system comprising:
 a panel guide, wherein said panel guide is configured to provide alignment and spacing between panels, said panel guide comprise;
 a central gap, wherein said central gap is configured to allow for an insertion of a U cover; 
 at least one or more weather strip mounting area; and 
 a mounting extension, wherein said mounting extension is configured to mount said panel guide to the wall; 
   a U cover, wherein said U cover is configured to install in said central gap, in which said U cover comprise;
 a screw cover place holder, said screw cover place holder is configured to hold a screw cover in place; 
   and   a screw cover, wherein said screw cover being configured to cover a fastening screw used to secure said panel guide and said U cover to the wall.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein said system is configured to permit installation of various building panel materials including at least one of, a metal, a plastic, wood, and cement boards, onto walls, floors, or ceiling. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising a first base with a fastening screw hole, wherein said first base is configured to attach said panel guide to a wall with a fastening screw. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising a first pair of arms, wherein said first pair of arms are coupled to said first base to form said central gap. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , further comprising a first pair of wings, wherein each wing is configured to hold a bottom portion of an edge of the panel. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a second pair of wings, wherein each wing is configured to hold a top portion the edge of the panel. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein said first pair of wings and said second pair of wings are configured to hold various thickness of panels. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising at least one or more weather strips, said weather strips are configured to be inserted along weather strip mounting area to prevent water from being trapped under panels after installation. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 8 , in which said at least one or more weather strips comprise round or circular shaped weather strips.
