Abstract: A corner assembly for siding and roofing coverings includes two complementary corner molding members, each one of the two corner molding members having a front wall including a covering section with simulated building elements on an outer face thereof. Each one of the two corner molding members further has at least one protruding finger and at least one recess. The at least one protruding finger and at least one recess are configured in an alternate configuration in order to interlock in a male-female configuration when the two complementary corner molding members are engaged with one another to define a corner. A method covers a length of a corner defined at a junction of a first support surface and a second support surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a roof cladding element, which roof cladding element has been manufactured of profiled plate material and which roof cladding elements are adjacently and in succession mountable such that the edges of a roof cladding element will be placed a distance overlapping with the edges of adjacent roof cladding elements. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing roof cladding elements in which method a plate material in strip form is formed into profiled roof cladding element strip with a forming device and in which method a finished formed roof cladding element strip is cut with a cutting device at even intervals into roof cladding elements. Characteristic to a roof cladding element in accordance with the invention is the fact that to at least one corner of a roof cladding element a recess reaching at least partly under the lower surface of the part of the roof cladding element surrounding the corner has been formed.

Abstract: A corner piece includes a first group of vertically stacked walls and a second group of vertically stacked walls is provided. Each wall in the first and second groups includes an exterior face and an interior face and a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge opposite the first lateral edge. The first group and second groups meet at a common corner defined by the first lateral edges. The exterior faces collectively include an ornamental appearance containing a plurality of vertically stacked shingle impressions. The second lateral edges of the walls in at least one of the groups are staggered in width relative to the common corner, wherein the shingle impressions of the at least one group overlap at least a portion of the siding panels when the siding panels and the corner piece are fastened to the structure.

Abstract: A roofing system and shingle for a roof having sides and an apex is provided. A stripping is attached to the roof near the apex of the roof. A first shingle is attached to the stripping. A panel has a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge and a second side edge, wherein the top edge is positioned along the stripping. A bottom flange is attached to and extends along at least a portion of the bottom edge. A plate is attached to the bottom flange distal to the panel. An upper side flange is attached to and extends along at least a portion of the first side edge. A lower side flange is attached to and extends along at least a portion of the second side edge.In accord with another aspect of the invention, a shingle for a roof is provided. A panel has a having a bottom edge, a first side edge and a second side edge. An upper side flange is integrally formed with and extends along at least a portion of the first side edge.

Abstract: A sheet metal cladding panel for cladding facades, walls and roofs, said panel (1) including a middle portion (2) between upwardly folded edge sides (4, 11), of which at least one has a portion (12) bent outwardly-downwardly to form a flange or half seam for joining juxtaposed panels to each other. To obtain simplified erection of such panels the edge side (11) formed with the half seam (12) is, as is the half seam (12), formed with a double wall along at least a part of the panel, and terminates in an attachment flange (6) projecting out from the edge side (11) for fastening the panel to a substructure.

Abstract: A sheet metal starter shingle and a roof covering employing the starter shingle. The starter shingle is five sided with a first side engaging with the eave edge of a roof, two sides perpendicular to the first side, and two other sides angled inwardly from the perpendicular sides to meet at a peak opposite the first side. All the sides have means for engaging with adjacent starter shingle, roofing shingles or the roof eave edge. The roof covering employing the starter shingle also employs rectangular, sheet metal roofing shingles each having a length twice its width, and a width equal to one of the angled sides of the starter shingle. A method for laying the roof covering is also disclosed.
