Prefabricated Cladding Assembly

Abstract

A prefabricated cladding assembly ( 1 ) for mounting to the outside of buildings ( 10 ), said system comprising a cladding panel ( 2 ) having a mounting bracket ( 3 ) bonded thereto.

1 . A method of factory based prefabrication of a cladding assembly for mounting to a building, said method comprising:
 a) providing a cladding panel;   b) providing a mounting bracket having an adjustment screw; and   c) bonding the mounting bracket to the cladding panel using adhesive material.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the mounting bracket is bonded to a back face of the cladding panel. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the mounting bracket is formed from extruded aluminum. 
     
     
         4 . A prefabricated cladding assembly for mounting to buildings, said system comprising a cladding panel having a mounting bracket bonded thereto, wherein the mounting bracket has an adjustment screw to enable adjustment of the cladding panel when mounted to a building. 
     
     
         5 . The prefabricated cladding assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the mounting bracket is bonded to a back face of the cladding panel. 
     
     
         6 . The prefabricated cladding assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the mounting bracket is bonded to the cladding panel with an adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . A prefabricated cladding assembly manufactured in accordance with the method of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         8 . The prefabricated cladding assembly of  claim 4 , further comprising a wall mountable support structure having one or more carrier rails, wherein the mounting bracket is received within the carrier rails. 
     
     
         9 . The prefabricated cladding assembly of  claim 5 , further comprising a wall mountable support structure having one or more carrier rails, wherein the mounting bracket is received within the carrier rails. 
     
     
         10 . The prefabricated cladding assembly of  claim 6 , further comprising a wall mountable support structure having one or more carrier rails, wherein the mounting bracket is received within the carrier rails. 
     
     
         11 . The prefabricated cladding assembly according to  claim 7 , further comprising a wall mountable support structure having one or more carrier rails, wherein the mounting bracket is received within the carrier rails.
