ABSTRACT:
Metal-faced structural panels have interlocking edges that include a gutter member so that moisture leaking through a seam cannot penetrate the panels. The interlocked edges are also structurally reinforced and have an overlapped design so that adjacent panels do not flex even when subjected to concentrated loads. The gutter member eliminates the need to apply caulking compound to the seams where continguous panels meet one another. It is formed by bending the sheetmetal that overlies the core of the panels in a reversely bent forty five degree angle at the distal end of a section of sheetmetal that overlies a channel formed in the core. The structural reinforcement is provided by forming a return bend in sheetmetal that overhangs a panel edge and by forming a complementally formed recess in an opposing, interlocking section of sheetmetal.
