Abstract
Abstract An architectural siding for buildings is composed of metal siding strips which are corrugated for strength, the corrugations being concealed by a thin film of flexible plastic sheeting preferably secured to the siding only at unexposed edges or areas; this conceals the corrugations and presents a smooth surface appearance which is attactive and weatherproof, does not show dents, and permits the metal siding to expand and contract without marring the appearance of the siding.
