Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to building surface products, for example, suitable for forming a building surface. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface product including a panel having a front surface, a rear surface, and a gypsum body between the front surface and rear surface. A first attachment clip is secured to the rear surface of the panel and includes a first leg extending outward from the rear surface of the panel. A retaining flange is coupled to the first leg and extends over the rear surface in a first direction. The retaining flange includes a slot that is configured to receive a post so as to secure the building surface product to a support structure. A first fastener that penetrates the rear surface of the panel is attached to the first leg so as to secure the attachment clip to the panel.
