Abstract

La présente invention concerne des appareils et procédés d'installation de bardage sur une structure telle qu'un bâtiment. On utilise une agrafe qui peut s'ancrer aux profilés supports maintenus à distance de la structure. Les agrafes comprennent un bras pivot, et un taquet ou une butée complémentaires d'une rainure du pivot et un taquet ou une butée dans les profilés supports. Les agrafes peuvent pivoter par rapport au profilé support de façon à faire toucher le taquet ou la butée de l'agrafe par le taquet ou la butée du profilé support et ainsi verrouiller l'agrafe généralement entre la rainure du pivot et le taquet ou la butée du profilé support. L'agrafe comprend au moins un élément support configuré pour recevoir et retenir les rebords des panneaux du bardage choisi. Les panneaux peuvent être installés en rangs jusqu'à avoir habillé une zone voulue.
