Definitions

  • the invention relates to siding and, more particularly, to siding assemblies mountable to structural configurations and methods for interconnection of component panels of siding assemblies.
  • interior and exterior sides of structures are usually composed of different materials.
  • housing often included a brick exterior, and a wood lattice and plastic interior, with insulative materials injected therebetween.
  • Other exteriors employed stucco and the like for a finished exterior.
  • many structures have utilized wallboard for interior surfaces, with plywood and horizontally disposed woodboards completing the exterior.
  • interconnection often includes merely a "nailing together" of adjacent components, or other similar type of interconnection.
  • conventional means for securing the siding components to the underlying exterior of the structure often do not provide for any substantial strength with respect to the connection.
  • McDonagh U.S. Patent No. 4, 169,180 issued September 25, 1979, discloses an outdoor construction laminate for siding.
  • the laminate includes a base layer of a synthetic resin, and a protective layer of crosslinked acrylate, or uncrosslinked styrene acrylonitrile polymer attached to a base layer.

Magnesium oxide in the composition permits extrusion of ultraviolet resistant siding and window profiles. Also included are relatively low levels of titanium dioxide.
  • the panels are decorative, including panels having an embossed wood grain pattern.
  • the process includes extrusion of a vinyl sheet, and overlaying a flexible carrier sheet on the extruded sheet.

From this planar upper edge, the siding panel extends downwardly so as to form a loop immediately below the upper edge. The loop forms a channel extending for the length of the panel. Reeves explains that this channel is referred to in the trade as the "top lock.”
