Building siding and beveled backer panel assembly and method
First Claim
1. A plurality of elongated siding panels extending in horizontal courses, each panel having a longitudinal extending rearward flange and a longitudinally extending interlock member on the upper margin thereof, adapted for interlocking the rearward flange of one panel with the upper margin interlock member of the next lower course panel, andin abutting face to face relationship immediately behind each siding panel, an elongated backerboard having forward and rearward surfaces and beveled top and bottom edges, each said beveled edge extending downwardly from said rearward surfaces to said forward surface,said bottom beveled edge fitting within the rearward flange of one of said siding panels and having sliding capability over the top beveled edge of the next lower course of backerboard panel.

Abstract
A building siding panel in combination with a backer board panel which has a top beveled edge and an identically beveled bottom edge. The result of employment of a beveled edge backer board insulating panel is easier installation; the backer board panel provides complete support for the rear facing surface of the building siding along its entire rearward face; the insulating effect is superior; and lessening of installation costs since time of assembly is significantly decreased.

5. The method of erecting a building siding panel system having beveled backerboard panels associated with each siding panel, said method comprising obtaining
a first elongated siding panel, said panel having a longitudinal rearward flange and a longitudinal interlock member on the upper margin of said panel adopted for interlocking the rearward flange of said panel with the upper margin interlock member of another panel, and inserting in the bottom flange of said first siding panel a longitudinally extending beveled edge of a first backerboard panel so that the forward face of said backerboard panel of the rearward face of said siding panel are in abutting relationship attaching said siding panel and said backerboard panel to a building surface, engaging the bottom flange of second siding panel with the longitudinal interlock member on the upper margin of said first siding panel, and inserting a second beveled edge backerboard panel behind said second siding panel so that said lower beveled edge of said second backer panel slides over said top beveled edge of each first backer panel into a backing relationship position with the rearward face of said second panel, attaching said second siding panel and second backer panel to the surface of said building, and repeating each of the above steps for successive courses of paneling.

7. In combination,
at least two elongated siding panels extending in horizontal courses, being a lower panel and an upper panel, each said siding panel having a longitudinally extending rearwardly disposed flange on the lower edge thereof and a longitudinally extending interlock member on the upper edge thereof adapted for interlocking the rearward flange of said upper panel with the interlock member of said lower panel, a lower backerboard element in abutting relationship to the rearward surface of said lower panel, and an upper backerboard element in abutting relationship to the rearward surface of said upper panel, said upper backerboard element having forward and rearward surfaces and top and bottom edges, wherein the improvement comprises said top and bottom edges of said upper backerboard element being beveled downwardly from said rearward surface to said forward surface to induce said bottom edge of said upper backerboard element sliding downwardly over said lower backerboard element into said flange of said upper panel.
