Abstract

An architectural siding for buildings is composed of metal siding strips which are corrugated for strength, the corrugations being concealed by a thin film of flexible plastic sheeting preferably secured to the siding only at unexposed edges or areas; this conceals the corrugations and presents a smooth surface appearance which is attactive and weatherproof, does not show dents, and permits the metal siding to expand and contract without marring the appearance of the siding.

Claims

1. An architectural horizontally-extending siding board for the exterior wall surface of a building comprising a. a metal siding board consisting of a single sheet of thin metal having reinforcing corrugations to increase its rigidity, and presenting the external appearance of a single course of flat-faced wood siding, b. said board having a weather surface containing said corrugations which is normally exposed when the siding is in place on a building structure to provide overlapping courses, c. a film of flexible plastic sheet material stretched flat against the weather side of the siding and lying in close contact with its major exposed surface and secured to said siding only at unexposed locations adjacent the top and bottom edges of the siding, thus concealing said corrugations.

2. The invention according to claim 1, said film lying unadheredly against the metal board at the exposed surface of the siding.

3. The invention according to claim 2, said corrugations extending horizontally along the length of the siding and rearwardly Of the exposed flat face of the siding, leaving the major portion of said exposed flat face in said close but unadhered contact with said film.
