Abstract

Sheet metal building facing elements, a plurality of which can be assembled and fastened to buildings to present a smooth front. Each element at its upper and lower edges has bent upper and lower tongues forming complementary shapes of V-cross-section, and at its side edges has bent portions of different configuration. The bent tongues and bent side portions enable assembled interengagement of the various edges of adjacent facing elements. There are also facing elements configured for use on building corners and window and door recesses.
