Abstract (en)

There is disclosed an improved roof/wall panel. Known panels suffer from a number of problems, eg, it has been found that they may become loose in high winds. Accordingly, the invention provides a roof or wall panel (10, 10', 10'', 10a, 10'a, 10b, 10'b, 10''b) comprising a substantially rectangular planer member having an outer layer (40, 40', 40'', 40a, 40'a) characterised in that at least part of the outer layer extends beyond a side edge (51, 51a) of the panel which side edge may form a longitudinal edge, in use, so as to form a raised lip such that when the side edge of the panel is positioned adjacent to an opposing longitudinal side edge (50', 50'a) of another panel the lip of the side edge of the panel overlaps at least part of the opposing side edge of the other panel. In a preferred embodiment the outer layer (40, 40', 40'', 40a, 40'a) is a prelaminated plastics-to-metal layer. <IMAGE>
