Abstract
Siding panel for installation on the walls, soffits or other exposed surfaces of a structure having a nailing hem folded back upon itself to form a lateral edge of the siding panel and terminating in a first lip projecting outwardly from the front side of the siding panel and away from the lateral edge. A U-shaped channel is formed on the front side of the siding panel and is connected to the nailing hem. A U-shaped projection extends along the siding panel and terminates in a second lip projecting away from the back of the siding panel and the U-shaped projection. The U-shaped channel receives a U-shaped projection of an adjacent panel and the first lip engages and interlocks with the second lip of the adjacent panel.
Claims27
A siding panel adapted to be installed in an overlapping manner and in an interlocking relationship with other adjacent siding panels comprising, in combination:
- a nailing hem folded back upon itself, forming a lateral edge of the siding panel, and terminating in a first lip projecting outwardly from a front side of the siding panel and away from the lateral edge;
- a substantially U-shaped channel on the front side of the siding panel connected to the nailing hem, having a mouth facing the lateral edge;
- a substantially U-shaped projection extending along the siding panel, the U-shaped projection being adapted to be received by a U-shaped channel of an adjacent siding panel;
- and
- a second lip connected to the U-shaped projection and projecting away from a back side of the siding panel and the U-shaped projection, adapted to engage and interlock with a first lip of an adjacent siding panel.
A siding panel adapted to be installed in an overlapping manner and in an interlocking relationship with other adjacent siding panels comprising, in combination:
- a nailing hem adjacent a lateral edge of the siding panel and terminating in a first lip projecting outwardly from a front side of the siding panel and away from the lateral edge;
- a substantially U-shaped channel on the front side of the siding panel connected to the nailing hem, having a mouth facing the lateral edge;
- a substantially U-shaped projection extending along the siding panel, the U-shaped projection being adapted to be received by a U-shaped channel of an adjacent siding panel;
- and
- a second lip connected to the U-shaped projection and projecting away from a back side of the siding panel and the U-shaped projection, adapted to engage and interlock with a first lip of an adjacent siding panel.

- a nailing hem adjacent a lateral edge of the siding panel and terminating in a first lip projecting outwardly from a front side of the siding panel and away from the lateral edge;
- a substantially U-shaped channel on the front side of the siding panel connected to the nailing hem, having a mouth facing the lateral edge;
- a substantially U-shaped projection extending along the siding panel, the U-shaped projection being adapted to be received by a U-shaped channel of an adjacent siding panel;
- and
- a second lip connected to the U-shaped projection and projecting away from a back side of the siding panel and the U-shaped projection, the second lip adapted to engage a first lip of an adjacent siding panel to substantially prevent the separation of the adjacent siding panels from one another.
