Composite siding with improved interlaced end-grain corner configuration and false chinking joint

摘要

The invention relates to a composite siding system with interlaced end-grain corner configuration that more accurately simulates the appearance of solid or shaped wood log siding. The invention provides for a series of alternating horizontal siding elements which may be joined to a pre-constructed structure utilizing an improved interlaced end-grain corner configuration. The inventive technology specifically describes a composite siding panel system with an improved interlaced end-grain corner configuration having an internally securable fitted corner joint connection. Additionally, the invention describes a composite siding panel system with a false chinking joint as well as modifications to mitigate moisture expansion type joint damage.

主权项

1. A composite siding panel with improved interlaced end-grain corner configuration comprising:
a plurality of siding panels having:
an external panel surface configured to present a solid planar wood log siding;an internal panel surface configured to be joined to a pre-existing surface through a siding panel stacking attachment; andat least one integral tapered interlaced joint element having no end-grain presentation; at least one terminal facade cap presenting an continuous end-grain surface perpendicularly secured to said tapered interlaced joint element forming a continuous interlaced joint surface wherein said integral tapered interlaced joint elements are physically interlaced one with another such that said continuous end-grain surface is alternatively presented when composite siding panels are stacked forming said interlaced end-grain corner joint configuration; and an integral fitted miter joint securing said terminal facade cap presenting an continuous end-grain surface perpendicularly to said tapered interlaced joint element; wherein said terminal façade caps each presenting said continuous end-grain surface are alternatingly stacked to create an outwardly extending interlaced end-grain corner joint configuration where said terminal façade caps completely extend past adjacent stacked external panel surfaces.
