ABSTRACT:
A wall covering comprising a plurality of plastic molded panels each having a relatively thin body portion formed with rows of simulated of shake shingles. The panels are mounted on a support surface, such as a wall or roof, in a plurality of vertically spaced horizontal courses with a lower marginal edge region of the panels in one course overlapping the upper marginal edge regions of the panels in the course immediately below and with side marginal edge regions of adjacent panels also overlapping. The overlapping marginal edge regions each are formed with a plurality of parallel water barrier ridges for impeding movement of water outwardly over the peripheral edges of the underlying marginal edge region, as well as into nail mounting holes. The water barrier ridges are discontinous so as to impede outward water movement, while allowing drainage of water in a downward direction. The wall covering panels further have various interlocking features which maintain sealing contact between overlapping upper and lower marginal edge regions and which facilitate alignment and mounting of the panels on the support surface.
