Abstract
Siding including composite building material and a siding clip are provided. The panel has male and female interlocking elements and may be formed from a composite building material having a foamed substrate having a foamed inner core and a dense integral skin, wherein the foamed substrate includes a polymer matrix and a reinforcing filler, and a urethane/acrylic coating applied to the foamed substrate at the front face of the siding panel, wherein the coating includes an IR-reflective pigment, wherein the urethane/acrylic coating is chemically and/or physically bound to the substrate.
Claims26
A siding system comprising:
- a plurality of panels each having
- a front portion adapted to be exposed when the panel is installed as siding,
- a back portion adapted to face a surface covered by the siding when the panel is installed as siding,
- a channel formed in the back portion adjacent a downwardly extending projection of the back portion,
- a clip configured to engage an upper portion of one of the panels to secure the panel against a building surface, the clip having
- a back plate configured to receive a fastener therethrough, and
- an upwardly extending projection that, when the clip engages the upper portion of the panel, is configured to extend into the channel of another one of the panels such that the extension of the upwardly extending projection into the channel constrains a bottom portion of the another one of the panels the via contact with the downwardly extending projection of the another one of the panels.

A siding panel, comprising:
- a front portion adapted to be exposed away from a surface covered by the siding panel;
- a back portion adapted to face a surface covered by the siding panel;
- a channel formed in the back portion adjacent a downwardly extending projection of the back portion;
- and
- an upper portion having a plurality of spaced-apart notches extending through the front and back portions.
2 more elements
A siding clip, comprising:
- a back plate having an aperture configured to receive a fastener therethrough;
- a first arm extending outwardly from the back plate;
- a second arm extending outwardly from the back plate;
- an outer plate substantially parallel to the back plate and supported by the first arm, the outer plate extending upwardly to form an upward projection extending above the height of the first arm;
- and
- an outer plate substantially parallel to the back plate and supported by the second arm, the outer plate extending upwardly to form an upward projection extending above the height of the second arm.

8 more elements
A siding set, comprising:
- a plurality of siding panels, each panel including:
- an upper portion including an upper channel, the upper channel being adjacent to both a first upper protrusion and a second upper protrusion, and
- a bottom portion including a bottom channel, the bottom channel being adjacent to a bottom protrusion,
- wherein:
- the upper channel is configured to receive the bottom protrusion of each of the panels,
- the upper protrusion is configured to be received by the bottom channel of each of the other panels,
