A standing seam roof assembly with a four corner sealing assembly having an upper pair of interlocking standing seam joint panels and a lower pair of interlocking standing seam joint panels which meet in a lapped four corner juncture area, the upper ends of the lower panel pair are overlapped by the lower ends of the upper panel pair at the juncture area, one panel of each of the upper panel pair and the lower panel pair having an upstanding male side lap portion forming a male apex. The other panel of each of the upper panels and the lower panels have an upstanding female sidelap portion overlapping the respective male sidelap portions, each of the female sidelap portions having a longitudinally disposed sealant cavity and a sidelap sealant strip that is predeterminedly disposed within the sealant cavity with the sealant strip veering at the juncture area. The upstanding leg portions of the male sidelap portions are received within the insertion cavity of one of the female sidelap portions. An endlap sealant is positioned between the overlapping lower ends of the upper panels and the upper ends of the lower panels, the endlap sealant disposed to extend upwardly to sealingly engage the sidelap sealant strip in the female sidelap portion. A cinch strap and backup plate are provided.
An improved four corner sealing assembly in which an upper pair of interlocking standing seam joint panels and a lower pair of interlocking standing seam joint panels meet in a lapped four corner juncture area, an upper end of the two lower panels being overlapped by a lower end of the two upper panels at the juncture area, one panel of each of the upper panel pair and the lower panel pair having an upstanding male side lap portion forming an upper male surface, the other panel of each of the upper panels and the lower panels having an upstanding female side lap portion overlapping the respective male side lap portions, each of the female side lap portions having a longitudinally disposed sealant cavity and a side lap sealant strip predeterminedly disposed in conjunction with the sealant cavity, the sealant strip veering near the juncture area, at least one of the male side lap portions notched at the juncture area to overlap the ends and so that the upper male surface of said male side lap portions are received within the female side lap portions, at least one of the female sidelap portions being notched to be aligningly interlapped and sealed with the other of the female side lap portions, an end lap sealant positioned between the overlapping lower ends of the upper panels and the upper ends of the lower panels, the end lap sealant disposed to extend upwardly between the upstanding leg portions of the notched male side lap portions and also between female upstanding leg portions so as to sealingly engage the side lap sealant strip in the female side lap portions.
An improved four corner sealing assembly in which an upper pair of interlocking standing seam joint panels and a lower pair of interlocking standing seam joint panels meet in an interlapped four corner juncture area, an upper end of the two lower panels being overlapped by a lower end of the two upper panels at the juncture area, one panel of each of the upper panel pair and the lower panel pair having an upstanding male side lap portion forming a male apex, the other panel of each of the upper panel pair and the lower panel pair having an upstanding female side lap portion overlapping the respective male side lap portions, at least one of the male side lap portions notched at the juncture area so that the upstanding leg portions of said male side lap portions meet in near abutting and non-interfering relationship and are received within the interlapped female side lap portions, one of the female side lap portions being notched to align with and interlap with the other female side lap portion, sealing means for sealing the overlapped upper and lower panel pairs, back up means extending generally lateral to and under the overlapping panel pairs for interconnecting the juncture area panels at the overlapped juncture area as required to unitize the area.
