ABSTRACT:
An improved female/male interlock seam assembly for a standing seam roof comprising a female side lap joint defining a male receiving cavity and a sealant cavity and a male side lap joint having a sealant engaging apex portion. The sealant cavity is characterized as having a first portion openly communicating with the male receiving cavity and a offset second portion adapted to receive and support a resilient sealant therein. The sealant engaging apex portion of the male side lap joint is provided with an outwardly extending nose-like portion so that in an assembled position the nose-like portion is substantially encapsulated by the sealant, and a force applied to the female/male interlock seam assembly compresses the sealant to enhance seam integrity.
