FACING FOR WALLS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC E04B2/00 E04F13/08 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: facing comprises a group of panels, which in process of manufacturing are given a pattern and a surface finish that imitate handmade brickwork. Panels are mounted in the form of a sequence of horizontal rows, besides, the lower edge area of an overlying panel is imposed over the upper edge area of the panel that belongs to the earlier installed row. Upper and lower edge areas include reference surfaces, which are inclined, making it possible during positioning to ensure a tight contact between "cement" and "brick" of two joined panels, besides, "cement" strips located between "strips", are in general coplanar to each other and to face surfaces of imitated bricks, which protrude forward relative to "cement" strips by an identical distance, and as a result the appearance is more esthetic and natural. Connections between attached panels are in general invisible, and uniformity of heights of "bricks" and "cement" strips forward protrusion makes it possible to avoid shadows that reduce naturalness effect.

EFFECT: invention increases reliability of facing fixation.
