ABSTRACT:
Interlocking panels having a decorative pattern thereon and having a system of interlocks for providing a weatherproof covering system for use as roofing, siding and the like. The panels may be of a readily formed material such as a thermoplastic having a decorative pattern thereon complimentary to the pattern on adjacent panels to provide a continuous decorative roofing or siding panel system. The panels have a simple hook-like region adjacent the upper edge thereof, just below the nail line retaining the panel to the roof, to receive and retain the lower edge of the panels of the next higher course in a manner so as to eliminate the otherwise exposed nailheads. Decorative patterns simulating conventional materials such as shake may be impressed into the panels by vacuum forming and/or other manufacturing techniques. Use of a staggered panel side provides for a substantially hidden junction between sidewise adjacent panels to provide a continuous and unbroken pattern. By dropping the regions separating individual simulated shake to the basic roof plane, maximum panel stability and registry onto the roof surface, as well as enhanced visual characteristics, are achieved.
