Siding or roofing panel system
First Claim
1. A panel configured for attachment to a mounting surface, comprising:
- a plurality of raised faces formed and extending between a lock edge and a butt edge of the panel;
a plurality of recessed keyways defined between each of the raised faces, such that the raised faces and the keyways define a plurality of elements spaced at an average element distance;
a recessed base formed at the keyways adjacent the butt edge, wherein the recessed base defines a fold lip adjacent the mounting surface;
a full base formed at the raised faces adjacent the butt edge, wherein the full base extends further than the recessed base, and the fold lip joins the recessed base to the full base to define a continuous fold line; and
an under lap extending from the full base toward the lock edge, wherein the fold lip is configured to provide a reaction point for the under lap, and the reaction point is offset from the continuous fold line such that the under lap is overlapping the fold lip.

Abstract
A panel for attachment to a mounting surface includes a plurality of raised faces formed and extending between an upper edge and a lower edge of the panel, and a plurality of recessed keyways defined between each of the raised faces. The panel may have a recessed base at the lower edge of the keyways defining a fold lip adjacent the mounting surface, and a full base formed at the lower edge of the raised faces and extending beyond the recessed base. The fold lip provides a reaction point for an under lap extending from the lower edge toward the upper edge. The panel may include a lock flange formed at the upper edge. The lock flange defines a lock slot between layers of the panel, and closes the lock slot to substantially zero depth at a first touch point and a second touch point.
