Abstract
A wall or roof covering for mounting on a support surface includes a plurality of panels securable to the support surface. Each panel has a front surface including a covering section with simulated building elements, an opposed rear surface facing the support surface when secured thereto, an upper marginal edge region and an opposed lower marginal edge region overlying the upper marginal edge region of a vertically-adjacent panel. One of the upper marginal edge region and the lower marginal edge region has an inclined receiving slot defined therein, the other one of the upper marginal edge region and the lower marginal edge region has an inclined insertable flange engageable in the inclined receiving slot of the vertically-adjacent panel.

A wall or roof covering for mounting on a support surface, comprising:
- a plurality of panels securable to the support surface, each having a front surface including a covering section with simulated building elements, an opposed rear surface facing the support surface when secured thereto, an upper marginal edge region and an opposed lower marginal edge region overlying the upper marginal edge region of a vertically-adjacent panel, one of the upper marginal edge region and the lower marginal edge region having an inclined receiving slot defined therein, the other one of the upper marginal edge region and the lower marginal edge region having an inclined insertable flange engageable in the inclined receiving slot of the vertically-adjacent panel.
A wall or roof covering panel for mounting on a support surface, comprising:
- a front surface including a covering section with simulated building elements;
- an opposed rear surface facing the support surface when secured thereto;
- an upper marginal edge region and an opposed lower marginal edge region overlying the upper marginal edge region of a vertically-adjacent panel, the upper marginal edge region having a protruding and inclined flange extending outwardly and downwardly from the front surface and the lower marginal edge region having a protruding and inclined flange extending outwardly and upwardly from the rear surface, one of the upper marginal edge region and the lower marginal edge region having an inclined wall extending parallel to the protruding and inclined flange and defining therewith an inclined receiving slot, the protruding and inclined flange of the other one of the upper marginal edge region and the lower marginal edge region being engageable in the inclined receiving slot of the vertically-adjacent panel.
A wall or roof covering for mounting on a support surface, comprising:
- a plurality of panels securable to the support surface, each having a front surface including a covering section with simulated building elements, an opposed rear surface facing the support surface when secured thereto, an upper marginal edge region and an opposed lower marginal edge region overlying the upper marginal edge region of a vertically-adjacent panel, the upper marginal edge region having a protruding flange extending outwardly and downwardly from the front surface and the lower marginal edge region having a protruding flange extending outwardly and upwardly from the rear surface, one of the upper marginal edge region and the lower marginal edge region having a longitudinally extending wall including longitudinally spaced apart wall sections and interlocking ledges extending between two longitudinally-adjacent wall sections, the longitudinally spaced apart wall sections extending parallel to the protruding flange of the same edge region and defining therewith a receiving slot, the protruding flange of the other one of the upper marginal edge region and the lower marginal edge region being engageable in the receiving slot of the vertically-adjacent panel and having at least one protuberance abutting at least one of the interlocking ledges of the vertically-adjacent panel upon engagement of one of the protruding flange in the receiving slot of the vertically-adjacent panel and securing overlying upper and lower marginal edge regions of vertically adjacent panels.
A method for manufacturing a wall or roof covering panel having a simulated building elements on a surface thereon for mounting on a support surface, the method comprising:
- mechanically creating a first pattern in a mold which corresponds to a first texture;
- chemically creating a second pattern in a mold which corresponds to a second texture;
- molding the covering panel in the mold including the first and the second patterns to obtain the covering panel having the first texture and the second texture, wherein at least a section of the first and the second patterns are superposed to one another.
A mold for manufacturing wall or roof covering panels having a simulated building elements on a surface thereon, the mold comprising:
- a mechanically created pattern which corresponds to a first texture and a chemically created pattern which corresponds to a second texture, wherein at least a section of the first and the second patterns are superposed to one another.
