Dry joint wall cladding attachment system

A wall cladding attachment system for attachment of panels to a building substructure, wherein the system comprises:

• (a) a plurality of panel mounting brackets for attachment to a building substructure at predetermined intervals in a grid pattern on said building substructure;
• (b) a plurality of panel assemblies configured for attachment to said mounting brackets such that said panel assemblies are disposed in coplanar relation to other panel assemblies of said plurality of panel assemblies, wherein each of the plurality of panel assemblies includes a panel and a panel frame subassembly including a plurality of side members attached to each of said panels, wherein each of said side members includes a plurality of curved spring clips attached thereto being deformable from a compressed condition to a relaxed condition, wherein each of the plurality of said panel frame subassemblies is configured for engagement with each of said plurality of panel mounting brackets;
• and
• (c) a plurality of reveal strips for installation in a reveal cavity between adjoining panel assemblies of said plurality of panel assemblies;
• wherein each panel frame subassembly is configured for sliding engagement with said mounting brackets;
• wherein each panel assembly of said plurality of panel assemblies further includes a plurality of curved spring clips disposed about the lateral edges of each panel frame subassembly, wherein said reveal strips compress said plurality of curved spring clips against a spring bias upon insertion of said reveal strips into a said reveal cavity thereby locking said reveal strips in position to cover said mounting brackets in an installed condition of said reveal strips and enabling non-progressive removal of said reveal strips during replacement of said panel assemblies.
