US 10,208,482 B2 · Single panel siding product

Abstract

A siding product may include a panel having a substantially rectangular structure with a simulated pattern on a front face thereof. The panel may be formed from a polymer and may include color variegation. The panel may have a hollow back and be a single shake configuration that does not simulate more than one shake or more than one course of siding. The siding product may include a panel having a front face with a simulated pattern. The panel can include a hollow back, a longitudinal length extending in an x-direction, a lateral width extending in a y-direction, and a transverse depth extending in a z-direction. The panel can have a plurality of reinforcement ribs on the hollow back that extend longitudinally in the x-direction and transversely in the z-direction. In a version, none of the reinforcement ribs extend laterally in the y-direction.

A siding product, comprising:

a panel comprising a polymer and a substantially rectangular structure having a simulated pattern on a front face thereof, a hollow back with ribs in a longitudinal direction and substantially co-planar with a perimeter edge of the panel, none of the ribs extend in a lateral direction, the panel also having a hollow back depth that tapers down from a maximum hollow back depth at a lower longitudinal end to a minimum hollow back depth at an upper longitudinal end, wherein the hollow back comprises a pad protruding therefrom, the pad having a thickness and a plurality of short ribs extending from the pad, wherein each short rib has a depth extending in a same direction as a thickness of the pad and a combination of the depth of the short rib and the thickness of the pad is approximately equal to a depth of the hollow back such that the short ribs are substantially co-planar with the perimeter edge of the panel;
and
the panel comprises a single shake configuration that does not simulate more than one shake or more than one course of siding.

A siding product, comprising:

a panel comprising a polymer and having a simulated pattern on a front face thereof, a hollow back having a hollow back depth, a perimeter edge circumscribing an entire perimeter of the panel, a plurality of recesses and fastener locations on the front face thereof, the hollow back comprises a pad opposite each recess and fastener location, each pad having a pad rear surface, and the pad rear surfaces are substantially co-planar with the perimeter edge of the panel at the hollow back depth;
and the panel comprises a single shake configuration that does not simulate more than one shake or more than one course of siding,
wherein each pad protrudes from a back side of the panel and comprises a pad thickness and wherein each pad comprises at least a short rib extending from the pad, wherein each short rib has a depth extending in the same direction as the pad thickness, and some combination of the short rib depth and the pad thickness is approximately equal to a depth of the hollow back, such that the short ribs are substantially co-planar with a perimeter edge of the panel.
