The male edge has a rim (20) which is connected to the visible surface (12B) by a projection (22) and has a raised ridge (24). The female edge has free end (28) which is connected to the visible surface by a projection (30) and an inner cavity (32) to receive the ridge of the male edge and mastic seals (34, 36).
