SIDING PANEL SYSTEM WITH MODULAR INSULATING AND MOUNTING UNITS

摘要

A cladding system for use on an exterior wall or studding, including an overlapping interlocked array of horizontal cladding panels 12, wherein the cladding panels are secured to the wall or studding by modular insulating and mounting units each comprising a insulating panel 10 and means such as a plurality of horizontal retainer strips 11 disposed in vertically spaced relation on the outer surface thereof for correctly positioning and facilitatingly mounting successive courses of the cladding panels in the array. The retainer strips 11 have horizontally extending inward projections 30 received in recesses 28 defined by the insulating panels 10 for correctly positioning the retainer strips to engage the successive cladding panel courses. The modular units are attached to the wall or studding by fasteners such as nails 52.
