ABSTRACT:
A snap-in-place mounting arrangement for securely attaching generally flat panels to a support structure such as a wall or a roof includes an attachment strip having a pair of compressible, resilient gaskets for securely engaging adjacent edges of a pair of panels. The attachment strip is affixed to the support structure by screws, nails or an adhesive and includes first and second outer tabs and a center tab disposed therebetween. The center tab includes an arrowhead-shaped tip which is adapted to engage and retain the first and second gaskets respectively inserted between the center tab and the first and second outer tabs. Angled edge portions of a pair of panels are each adapted for insertion between and engagement by a respective gasket and the center tab for attaching the panels to the support structure via the attachment strip. One embodiment of the snap-in-place panel mounting arrangement includes a flexible attachment strip affixed to a curvilinear support structure and conforming to the contour thereof which are having a plurality of spaced tabs on an edge thereof which are adapted to engage the attachment strip and allow the panel to conform to the curvilinear contour of the support structure. The snap-in panel mounting arrangement is also adapted for use with insulated panels having facing panel sheets disposed on opposed surfaces of an intermediate insulating layer.
