ABSTRACT:
A multiple-panel roof system has panel edges in a shape of like plows which are interengaged with corresponding channels formed in opposing panel edges. A layer of resiliently compressible foam extends from the outer panel surface adjacent to the plow, down the sloped surface of the panel, and covers the tip of the plow. A sealant bead is placed within the channel on its lower wall. When the opposing edges of adjacent panels are fully interengaged, the portion of compressible foam at the tip of the plow and the portion of the foam on the outer panel surface are each compressed by corresponding locations on the channel to form a pair of watertight seals. In addition, the sealant bead is displaced by the plow as the plow enters the channel, until the sealant bead fills the region between the plow and the channel, thereby forming a third seal. A fourth seal is optionally added at an overlap seam formed between the upper channel wall and the outer panel surface, such fourth seal providing a visible cue of the completeness of the seal between the opposing panel edges.
