ABSTRACT:
A roofing/cladding system (2) for mounting to a structure (4) includes elongate pans (6) having central portions (32) and lateral edges (8, 10) with U-shaped pockets (24, 26) defining inwardly opening edge recesses (28, 30). The pan also includes legs (34, 36) extending upwardly from the upper part (38, 40) of the pockets. The upper edges (72, 74) of the legs are plain to facilitate bending the pans to cover concave or convex surfaces. A bracket (12), used to hold down the pans at their opposed edges, has a base (14), first, upwardly extending arms (46, 48) and second, downwardly extending arms (50, 52) and defining regions (58, 60) therebetween. The legs of the pans are inserted into the regions. A batten (18), used to cover the joint, has inwardly extending lips (68, 70) which extend into the edge recesses immediately beneath the lower ends of the second arms so that vertical movement of the pans and batten are resisted almost immediately by the engagement of the lower ends of the second legs with the lips of the batten. Also, the upper edges (72, 74) of the legs are positioned at the junctions of the first and second arms to further limit upward movement of the pan.
