ABSTRACT:
A channel assembly for mounting exterior panels on a structural member of a building has extruded support members which cooperate with a filler strip. The support members have grooves for holding the peripheral edges of respective panels to be mounted adjacent each other spaced apart by an intermediate space, and projections from opposite sides into the intermediate space. A filler strip is pressed into the intermediate space in sealing engagement with the projections. The support members have linking members with ends extending into the intermediate space closely adjacent each other, and mounting washers or a ledger strip are used to secure the ends of the linking members together and to mount them to a structural member of a building. The filler strip may be a V-shaped snap-in strip having a spine portion and a pair of compressible legs, or a compressible strip or tube which is pushed into the intermediate space and sealed therein with caulking.
