ABSTRACT:
Siding panels for mounting on a wall surface. Each siding panel includes a plurality of decorative elements integrally formed with the panel and disposed in at least one row, the decorative elements defining a front face of the siding panel; a top edge disposed above the decorative elements; a plurality of apertures formed in and extending through the siding panel disposed below the top edge and above the decorative elements; a bottom end; a plurality of downwardly depending tabs located on the front face of the siding panel, each tab having a plurality of projections; and an upwardly facing channel formed on a side of the siding panel opposite the front face, the channel configured for receipt of the tabs of an adjacent panel. In one embodiment, there are four rounded projections on each tab. The siding panel includes first and second side edges, and a horizontally extending tab. The first side edge may include a tongue, and the horizontally extending tab may be formed on a rear side forming a groove configured to receive the tongue of an adjacent panel. A feature in one embodiment is for the horizontally extending tab to terminate at a distance from the second side edge. The siding panel may include weep holes located in the channel at the bottom end of the siding panel.
