Definitions
- Exterior cladding materials may be used to cover the exterior surfaces formed from various framing structures.
- exterior cladding materials have been formed as prefabricated or cast veneer wall panels, which provide a quick and efficient way to provide a masonry appearance for a building while also simplifying construction and lowering cost.
- Non-limiting examples of exterior cladding materials that have been formed in this manner include stone veneer, brick veneer, aluminum siding, vinyl siding, wood siding, stucco, concrete, glass, and metal.
- the exterior building cladding materials may be applied to more than one wall of various sub-structures, thereby necessitating materials or panels that are configured to efficiently and effectively turn the corners created between those walls, whether an outside or an inside oriented corner.
- designers and installers have solved problems associated with turning corners either by simply abutted various standard configured cladding materials or by using L-shaped corner panels.
- adapting standard configured cladding materials for corner use often-times resulted in undesirable imperfections and/or irregular gaps adjacent the intersection of such materials, due largely to their not being intended for such use.
- traditional L-shaped corner panels addressed such standard panel concerns, their use was oftentimes cumbersome and inefficient, particularly as many structural corners are not precisely and repeatedly L-shaped.
- traditional L-shaped corner panels only proved useful for outside-oriented corners, requiring continued adaptation of standard panels for inside-oriented corners.
- an exterior cladding material corner panel that may be interchangeably used to address an outside-oriented corner, an inside-oriented corner, and an end wall termination.
- a need also exists for such a universal corner panel that eliminates the undesirable imperfections and/or irregular gaps created by using traditional panels and produce a wall having an enhanced aesthetic appearance.
- a universal corner panel comprises a first surface comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having a first surface topography with a first delta, the second portion having second surface topography with a second delta, the first delta being substantially different than the second delta.
- a universal corner panel comprises a first surface; a first portion located on the first surface, the first portion comprising at least one design portion defining a maximum thickness of the first portion and at least one design portion defining a minimum thickness of the first portion; and a second portion located on the first surface, the second portion comprising at least one design portion defining a maximum thickness of the second portion and at least one design portion defining a minimum thickness of the second portion, wherein a first difference between the maximum and the minimum thicknesses of the first portion is substantially greater than a second difference between the maximum and the minimum thicknesses of the second portion.
- a universal corner panel comprises a first surface; a central portion of the first surface, the central portion having a first surface topography; and two peripheral portions of the first surface, each of the two peripheral portions having a second surface topography, wherein the first surface topography is substantially different from the second surface topography.

- the central portion 105 of the universal corner panel 100 may include a plurality of design portions 139 .
- each of the design portions 139 may be configured to substantially resemble a plurality of natural stone elements. In other embodiments, however, the design portions 139 may not be configured so as to resemble individual stones, but rather a continuous surface of varying thicknesses. In still other embodiments, the design portions 139 , whether individually or otherwise configured, may be formed so as to substantially resemble any of a variety of aesthetic masonry and/or cladding materials, as may be desirable for particular applications. However, in at least the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 2 , each of the design portions 139 is configured as a separate design element, each resembling individual natural stones.
- the design portions 139 of the central portion 105 are configured with certain a first surface topography.
- the design portions 139 of the central portion 105 may, in certain embodiments, be formed with varying thicknesses (see e.g., FIGS. 3C-D ), which collectively define a maximum and minimum thickness of the central portion 105 .

Such maximum and minimum thicknesses, in turn, define relative differences between the thicknesses of the design portions 139 , which in turn define the second surface topography.
- the first surface topography of the central portion 105 has a mean thickness greater than a mean thickness of the second surface topography of the two peripheral portions 110 , 112 , wherein the “mean thickness” value is determined by first identifying a maximum thickness and a minimum thickness in the respective portion and averaging the two thicknesses in the respective portion.
- the second surface topography of the two peripheral portions 110 , 112 differ from those of the central portion 105 in various embodiments.
- the second surface topography of the various portions may be such that the difference between the maximum and minimum thicknesses is smaller in the two peripheral portions 110 , 112 than in the central portion 105 , which advantageously enables positioning of a standard panel 10 ( FIG. 1 ) abutting the two peripheral portions 110 , 112 with such abutment resulting in minimal.

Analogous characteristics exist according to various embodiments for defining the minimum thickness 132 b.
- the relative thicknesses 132 a, 132 b of the design portions in the first portion 131 may define a difference or delta 133 there-between.
- this delta 133 as the greater the delta, the more three-dimensional and thus “decorative” the first surface 130 of the universal corner panel 100 becomes, while the lesser the delta, the less three-dimensional and more “flat” the first surface 130 becomes.
- the first portion 131 will generally be configured according to various embodiments described herein with a decorative, “greater” three-dimensional structure than the second portion 135 .
- the maximum thickness 132 a is generally less than or equal to the length 138 of the second portion 135 .

- the respective deltas 133 , 137 . 173 , 177 that define the “decorative” versus “non-decorative” surface topography, meaning that the direction of taper between the respective first and second portions may, in at least certain embodiments, be immaterial.
- the maximum thickness may occur in the first portion, with an overall thickness taper downward to a lesser thickness in the second portion, while in another embodiment, the maximum thickness may occur in the second portion, with an overall thickness taper downward toward the first portion.
- the respective deltas in the second portions e.g., 137 , 177
- the design portions/elements 179 may be configured to extend not only across substantially all or at least a portion of the first surface 170 of the second cut segment 160 , but also onto a side edge 190 of the second cut segment 160 that is substantially perpendicularly oriented relative to the first surface. In these and other embodiments, such facilitates use of the second cut segment 160 (much like the first cut segment 120 ) to end a wall surface without turning a corner, as illustrated in at least FIGS. 9 and 10 .
- the design portions/elements 179 on the side edge 190 may comprise surface topography, much like those located on the first surface 170 .
- a difference in thickness between at least two design portions/elements 179 located on the side edge 190 may similarly define a delta 192 , analogous to the deltas 173 , 177 .
- the side edge 190 which may function as an end wall face (see again FIG. 9 ) may, in certain embodiments, be configured with “decorative” surface topography, as were the first and second portions 171 , 175 .
- the delta 192 may be dimensioned substantially the same as the delta 173 ; however, it should be understood that in other embodiments, the delta 192 may be dimensioned substantially the same as the delta 177 of the second portion 175 . In still other embodiments, the delta 192 may be still otherwise configured and dimensioned, substantially different from both of the deltas 173 , 177 , as may be desirable for particular applications.
- the side edge 190 of the second cut segment 160 may be configured substantially the same in shape, size, or otherwise as the side edge 150 of the first cut segment 120 .
- the delta 192 may be configured substantially the same as the delta 152 of the side edge 150 of the first cut segment 120 .
- the side edges 150 , 190 and the deltas 152 , 192 may be entirely or at least in part substantially differently configured relative to one another, as may be desirable for particular applications.
- the first cut segment 120 of the universal corner panel 100 may, according to various embodiments, further comprise a second surface 140 substantially opposite to the first surface 130 .
- the second surface 140 may include at least a channel 142 and an intermediate portion 146 , the intermediate portion 146 being positioned substantially between the channel 142 and the side edge 150 of the first cut segment 120 .
- the channel 142 may according to various embodiments extend substantially along the entirety of the height 104 (see FIG. 2 ) of the corner panel 100 . In certain embodiments, however, it should be understood that that a height 185 145 of the channel may be less than the height 104 of the panel, provided such is nevertheless configured to substantially receive and interface with the tongue 15 (see FIG. 1 ) of an adjacently positioned standard panel 10 (see FIG. 1 ).
- the depth 143 may be any of a variety of dimensions, provided such substantially corresponds to the dimensions (e.g., a depth) of the tongue 15 of a corresponding standard panel 10 (see FIG. 2 ) such that the tongue 15 may be substantially fully received within the depth of the channel 142 .
- the respective depths of the channel and tongue may be configured such that the former is at least a minimal degree larger than the former, so as to provide at least some clearance between the two for purposes of installation.
- the width 144 may be any of a variety of dimensions, provided such substantially corresponds to the dimensions (e.g., a width) of the tongue 15 ( FIG. 1 ) of a corresponding standard panel 10 ( FIG. 1 ) such that the tongue 15 ( FIG. 1 ) may be substantially received within the depth of the channel 142 .
- the respective widths of the channel and tongue may be configured such that the former is at least a minimal degree larger than the former, so as to provide at least some clearance between the two for purposes of installation.
- the channel 142 may further define an intermediate portion 146 on the second surface 140 of the universal corner panel 100 .
- the surface of the intermediate portion 146 may be configured such that it is substantially smooth relative to the remainder of the second surface 140 . Such may facilitate installation by providing a substantially planar surface, which minimizes gaps between successive panels.
- the second cut segment 160 of the universal corner panel 100 may, according to various embodiments, further comprise a second surface 180 substantially opposite to the first surface 170 .
- the second surface 180 may include at least a channel 182 and an intermediate portion 186 , the intermediate portion 186 being positioned substantially between the channel 182 and the side edge 190 of the second cut segment 160 .
- the channel 182 may according to various embodiments extend substantially along the entirety of the height 104 (see FIG. 2 ) of the corner panel 100 . In certain embodiments, however, it should be understood that a height 185 of the channel may be less than the height 104 of the panel, provided such is nevertheless configured to substantially receive and interface with the tongue 15 (see FIG. 1 ) of an adjacently positioned standard panel 10 (see FIG. 1 ).
- the channel 182 may according to various embodiments have a depth 183 substantially corresponding to the dimensions (e.g., a depth) of the tongue 15 (see FIG. 1 ) of a corresponding standard panel 10 (see FIG. 1 ) such that the tongue 15 (See FIG. 1 ) may be substantially fully received within the depth of the channel 182 .
- the respective depths of the channel and tongue may be configured such that the former is at least a minimal degree larger than the former, so as to provide at least some clearance between the two for purposes of installation.
- the channel 182 of FIG. 6B may also have a width 184 , which may be any of a variety of dimensions, provided such substantially corresponds to the dimensions (e.g., a width) of the tongue 15 (see FIG. 1 ) of a corresponding standard panel 10 (see FIG. 1 ) such that the tongue 15 (see FIG. 1 ) may be substantially received within the depth of the channel 182 .
- the respective widths of the channel and tongue may be configured such that the former is at least a minimal degree larger than the former, so as to provide at least some clearance between the two for purposes of installation.
- the channel 182 may further define an intermediate portion 186 on the second surface 180 of the universal corner panel 100 .
- the surface of the intermediate portion 186 may be configured such that it is substantially smooth relative to the remainder of the second surface 180 . Such may facilitate installation by providing a substantially planar surface, which minimizes gaps between successive panels.
- the universal corner panel 100 described herein may be formed in any of a variety of ways, as commonly known and understood in the art.
- the panel 100 may be manufactured by an open face molding process. To practice such a process, an initial layer of material is first applied to an open face mold having cavities therein with shapes simulating exterior cladding materials (e.g., stone, brick, or the like). Next, a layer of reinforcing material may optionally be applied over the initial layer.
- the process may involve overlaying a mold insert configured to form the channels 142 , 182 , as may be desirable for particular applications.
- the mold insert may be configured so as to not only form the channels 142 , 182 , but also to form the substantially smooth surface area of the intermediate portions 146 , 186 of the second surfaces 140 , 180 .
- the molded material is allowed to cure and set before being removed from the mold.
- the universal corner panel 100 comprises an ornamental facing layer formed from the cast molded material, such that the facing layer resembles a desirable exterior cladding material (e.g., stone, brick, or the like).
- any of a variety of processes may be used to form the universal corner panel 100 depending on the martial employed to make the universal corner panel 100 .
- Further processes may, in other embodiments, include compression or injection molding processes, blow mold or extrusion processes, and the like.
- the universal panel 100 is installed in combination with the standard panel 10 to form a wall system.
- the standard panel 10 may, in certain embodiments be generally described as comprising a precast body including at least one decorative design element 12 .
- the terminology “standard panel” is to be given the broadest possible interpretation and covers any type of panel that is not an insert panel.
- each design element 12 comprises a single, variable-sized textured stone and the standard panel 10 comprises eleven stone-shaped design elements 12 positioned across two, three, and/or four rows, depending on the respective sizes of the elements 12 .
- the standard panel 10 may also, in certain embodiments, also include a grout field 14 for receiving and holding grout that outlines the respective design elements 12 so as to provide a desired masonry appearance.
- the standard panel 10 may further include a tongue 15 configured to substantially interlock with adjacently positioned panels, as will be described in further detail below.
- the tongue 15 may be selectively removable, whether detachably so or by force applied thereto, again as will be described in further detail below.
- the standard panel 10 according to various embodiments may also include a mounting flange 16 .
- the veneer wall panel systems described herein may be installed via any of a number of methods, including the non-limiting example of the method described in further detail in U.S. Patent Application Pub. No. 2011/0239578 (“the '578 application), commonly owned with the present application and hereby incorporated herein in its entirety.
- the installer may start at a bottom of a wall and position either a first cut segment 120 or a second cut segment 160 into the trim strip with its mounting flange 116 oriented upward.
- a standard panel 10 may then be placed into the same trip strip on the adjacently oriented wall.
- the installer should, according to various embodiments, slide the universal corner panel 100 such that it extends slightly beyond the wall edge, such that the tongue 15 of the standard panel interfaces with the channel 142 , 182 of the corner panel.
- the outside-oriented corner 220 appearance may then be fine-tuned with slight adjustments of both panels 10 , 100 relative to one another until the best fit is achieved.
- the universal corner panel 100 should be used in an alternating fashion on respective courses of a panel installation.
- a first cut segment 120 was installed in the first course (e.g., adjacent the trim strip)
- a second cut segment 160 should be installed in the second course, but on the opposing side of the outside-oriented corner 220 .
- the installer would first position (continuing with our non-limiting example) the second cut segment 160 atop the standard panel 10 previously installed in the first course.
- the installer would then position another standard panel 10 in the second course, immediately atop the first cut segment 120 positioned in the first course.
- the second cut segment 160 and the second standard panel 10 would be interfaced by receiving the tongue 15 of the panel 10 into the channel 182 of the corner panel 100 (see also FIG. 8 , close-up view of this interlocking feature).
- the installer For installation as an inside-oriented corner 210 , as illustrated in at least FIGS. 4 and 10 , the installer proceeds to form an “alternating” set of courses. However, instead of interfacing a tongue of a standard panel 10 with a channel on the corner panel 100 , the “non-decorative” portion 135 , 175 (also known and described as peripheral portions 110 , 112 herein) are positioned such that a side edge of an adjacently positioned standard panel substantially abuts the first surface of those portions. Due to the desirable surface topography of these portions, installation of the corner panel 100 in an inside-oriented corner results in substantially minimal, if any, gaps, as previously encountered with installations of the prior art. Such is evident from at least FIGS. 11A and 11B , when considered relative to one another.
- the universal corner panel 100 should be used in an alternating fashion on respective courses of an inside-oriented corner panel installation.
- a second cut segment 160 should be installed in a second course, but on the opposing side of the inside-oriented corner 210 .
- the installer would first position (continuing with our non-limiting example) the second cut segment 160 atop the standard panel 10 previously installed in the first course. The installer would then position another standard panel 10 in the second course, immediately atop the first cut segment 120 positioned in the first course.
- the second cut segment 160 and the second standard panel 10 would be interfaced by abutting an end portion of the standard panel 10 substantially adjacent the “non-decorative” portions of the corner panel 100 . It should be understood, of course, that in certain embodiments, such will require an installer, prior to positioning to remove the tongue 15 of the standard panel adjacent the abutting side edge, whether via passive removing or a more forcible removal thereof.
- the universal corner panel 100 may further be configured for use in terminating a wall installation without turning an encountered corner, whether inside or outside-oriented in nature.
- FIG. 9 in the context of the non-limiting example of an outside-oriented corner, it may be seen that a plurality of first cut segments 120 are stacked sequentially atop one another, such that their respective side edges 150 form an aesthetically pleasing decorative “end wall” (versus a flat, nondescript edge as would be achieved with the standard panel 10 of at least FIG. 1 ). It should be understood that while an end wall termination such as that in FIG. 9 utilizes only first cut segments 120 , an opposing directional termination, such as that illustrated in FIG. 10 , would use only second cut segments 160 .
- the panel may be used and/or installed in any of a variety of manners and in any of a variety of contexts, all as may be desirable for particular applications and practical for use with the structural and surface topography of the various portions of the panel 100 .
