ABSTRACT:
Modular panels having a foam a core and top and bottom surfaces covered by a metallic skin are interlocked with one another by forming the metal skins so that contiguous panels meet along a tight, substantially immovable seam. Abutting metal parts are bent at an angle slightly greater than ninety degrees so that they meet along a distinct line of contact, forming an ideal seam. The area of contact is small so that contiguous panels are easily slideable with respect to one another in a lateral direction during panel assembly. Another metal part may be bent at differing angles at the time of panel manufacture to vary the amount of force required to interlock contiguous panels. The mating panels form a space protected from the sun within which caulking compound is positioned, and an elongate stiffener enables the panels to be manufactured in elongated sizes.
