Abstract: A method of painting metal coil for use in forming panels includes placing indicia on opposite sides of an image on the metal coil. The individual sections of the metal coil that include the image can be rotated 180° to create two different looking panels out of the same image on the printed metal coil.

Abstract: A board and batten siding panel is provided with the ability to hide the securing flange under siding panels installed on a building wall. The siding panel can be customized to have the look of a wooden panel, while retaining the benefits and durability of a non-wooden material, such as metal.

Abstract: A drip edge assembly having an underlying drip edge. A body portion includes first and second ribs extending therealong. The body portion includes an inner edge having a fold and an outer edge that includes a protrusion. A vertical wall extends downward from the body portion and includes a lower kick defining an inwardly-facing channel. An overlying drip edge includes a body portion having first and second ribs extending therealong. The body portion includes an inner edge having a fold and an outer edge that includes a protrusion. A vertical wall extends downward from the body portion and includes a lower kick defining a rearwardly-facing channel. The lower kick of the underlying drip edge is configured to define a pivot axis about which the overlying drip edge rotates during assembly.

Abstract: A rake edge for a roof of a building includes a body having a lower portion and an upper portion. A fold is disposed on an inside end of the body. A downwardly extending side shield protrudes orthogonally from the lower portion. A shield edge protrudes outwardly from the side shield at an angle between 5 degrees and 90 degrees from a planar extent of the side shield. A shield edge underlap projects inwardly parallel with the shield edge. A trim portion extends over the upper portion. The trim portion is generally parallel with the upper portion and spaced a predetermined distance therefrom. A trim portion underlap is disposed between the upper portion and the trim portion.

Abstract: An interlocking panel system for top-down installation on an underlying structure including a plurality of panels, with an uphill course and a downhill course where each panel is generally rectangular, having an uphill edge and opposing downhill edge. An interlocking member is disposed along the uphill edge, and a receiving member adapted to receive the interlocking member and a joining flange are disposed along the downhill edge. A panel of the uphill course is affixed to an underlying structure via fasteners through the joining flange. The interlocking member of a panel of the downhill course is insertable into the receiving member of the uphill course, and the position of the panel of the downhill course is adjustable within the span of the receiving member.

Abstract: A vent system includes a plurality of vent panels. Each vent panel includes a body having first and second sidewalls and first and second end walls. Each of the first and second end walls includes a first set of lateral vents and a second set of lateral vents. The first set of lateral vents is disposed at a first angle relative to the first end wall and a second set of lateral vents is disposed at a second angle relative to the second end wall. A first vented portion is disposed between the first sidewall and the body. A second vented portion is disposed between the second sidewall and the body. The first and second vented portions each include laterally-extending vent supports that define a plurality of vent openings that support the flow of air therethrough. A plurality of flexure vanes are disposed on each of the first and second sidewalls. A flexure channel is disposed adjacent to each of the plurality of flexure vanes that allow for some flexure of the vent panel.

Abstract: A pre-notched drip edge assembly and related method includes a plurality of drip edge sections interconnected end-to-end to form a continuous water barrier along a roof edge. Each drip edge section has a formed one-piece construction with a top flange and a bottom flange having an inverted L-shape with upper and lower legs. The forward edges of the top flange and the upper leg are integrally interconnected along a folded-over nose having a wedge-shape. A pair of notches are formed in the opposite ends of each drip edge section which extend through the upper edge of the lower leg and the forward edges of the upper leg and the top flange to define flat end tab areas that are inserted into the noses of the next adjacent drip edge sections to horizontally and vertically locate the same along the building roof.
