ABSTRACT:
A lamella or panel element and a method of making the same wherein plate profiles are provided along joining edges with cross flanges which, when the profiles are brought together edge to edge, engage each other in an interlocking manner in a transverse direction. The flange portions are locked together by inserting a U-shaped or C-shaped profiled joining member which engages the outside of the flange portions on the side edges with a loose fit. The joining member may be inserted manually and extend over the length of the profiles and, the despite the loose fit, it is nevertheless possible to achieve a strong and tight joining since the long profiles do not extend totally rectilinearly. The joining members are arranged inside cavities of the plate profiles so that the joint members are invisible thereby resulting in advantageously obtaining an entirely smooth surface in the joining areas between the respective plate profiles.
