SHINGLED SIDING UNIT

摘要

A shingled siding unit is adapted for mounting to a wall or roof of a building structure. The unit may be a panel assembly or a corner assembly and includes a substrate having outer and inner surfaces, at least one course of side-by-side shingles mounted to the outer surface of the substrate, and spacing strips extending across and secured to the inner surface of the substrate. The spacing strips define a ventilation channel which facilitates drainage or evaporation of moisture between the unit and the exterior surface of a building structure to which it is mounted. A method of using the shingled siding unit is also disclosed.
