Wall cladding system and fastener
A cladding system for a building structure. The system includes a multilayered panel (1) having a first side (3) providing a front face (7) of the panel (1) and a second side (5) providing a rear face (9) of the panel (1). The front face (7) is part of a first section (17) of the panel (1) and the rear face (9) is part of a second section (19) of the panel (1). The first section (17) includes an insulating layer (13) and the second section (19) includes a backing layer (15). The system further includes at least one fastener (31) for fastening the panel (1) to a frame (23) of a building structure. The fastener (31) includes a base portion (33) securable to the frame (23), and a barbed portion (35) projecting from the base portion (33) for penetrating at least the rear face (9) and backing layer (15) of the second section (19) of the panel (1) to thereby secure the panel (1) to the frame (23). In one form, the barbed portion (35) includes a central planar member (37) with barbs (39) extending laterally to each side of the central planar member (37). The barbed portion (35) of the fastener (31) is sized such that the front face (7) of the panel (1) is not penetrated by the fastener (31) when the panel (1) is secured to the wall frame (23).
