Abstract

Abstract A fascia and soffit system for a building including an extruded fascia panel (1) for use at the eaves of a roof, having adjacent its lower edge a first longitudinally extending flange (2), a second longitudinally extending flange (3) spaced upwardly from the first so as to define a first groove (5) for receiving the edge of a soffit (12), and a third longitud­inally extending flange (4) spaced upwardly from the second so as to define a second groove (6) for receiving the edge of a soffit, the spacing between the first and second flanges at least in part being substantially different from the spacing between the second and third flanges, at least one of the first and second flanges being resilient to permit variations of said spacing between them, at least one of the second and third flanges being resilient to permit variation of said spacing between them, and each of said first and second grooves being provided with interlocking means (9,10) for engagement with a soffit if desired.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 161 words
An extruded fascia panel (1) for use at the eaves of a roof, having adjacent its lower edge a first longitudinally extending flange (2), a second longitudinally extending flange (3) spaced upwardly from the first so as to define a first groove (5) for receiving the edge of a soffit (12), and a third longitud­inally extending flange (4) spaced upwardly from the second so as to define a second groove (6) for receiving the edge of a soffit, the spacing between the first and second flanges at least in part being substantially different from the spacing between the second and third flanges, at least one of the first and second flanges being resilient to permit variations of said spacing between them, at least one of the second and third flanges being resilient to permit variation of said spacing between them, and each of said first and second grooves being provided with interlocking means (9,10) for engagement with a soffit if desired.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 161 words
An extruded fascia panel (1) for use at the eaves of a roof, having adjacent its lower edge a first longitudinally extending flange (2), a second longitudinally extending flange (3) spaced upwardly from the first so as to define a first groove (5) for receiving the edge of a soffit (12), and a third longitud­inally extending flange (4) spaced upwardly from the second so as to define a second groove (6) for receiving the edge of a soffit, the spacing between the first and second flanges at least in part being substantially different from the spacing between the second and third flanges, at least one of the first and second flanges being resilient to permit variations of said spacing between them, at least one of the second and third flanges being resilient to permit variation of said spacing between them, and each of said first and second grooves being provided with interlocking means (9,10) for engagement with a soffit if desired.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
An extruded fascia panel according to claim 1, wherein the interlocking means (9,10) is in the form of a downwardly extending projection extending adjacent the free edge of each of the second and third flanges (3,4).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 37 words
An extruded fascia panel according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein one of the grooves (5) has its minimum spacing defined by a projection (7,8) extending from one of the respective flanges (2) towards the other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
An extruded fascia panel according to claim 3, wherein the projection (7,8) is positioned on one flange (2) opposite an interlocking means projection (9) on the other.
