Abstract of the Disclosure The invention provides a new fascia panel structure consisting of a plurality of butting panels disposed side-by-side on a support structure fastened to the building to which the fascia is applied. The support structure consists of two vertically-spaced horizontal parallel rails having upwardly opening channels. The panels each have downwardly extending horizontal top and bottom edges which engage in the channels and can slide sideways therein. Each panel has a channel-forming member fastened to its rear surface adjacent one vertical edge, and a tongue-forming member fastened to the rear surface adjacent the other vertical edge; these can also act as stiffening members. The panels are installed on the horizontal rails and slid sideways until the respecitive panel tongue is engaged in the adjacent panel channel, the tongue covering any wall gap that may be left to accomodate expansion. The panels are held in place by an elongated horizontal hold-down cap strip that is fastened to the building and engages their top edges. The panels are therefore "free-floating" on their support structure to avoid distortion with changes in ambient temperature, and consequent buckling and "oil-canning". The preferred material for the panels is sheet aluminum, or its alloys, and preferably the other members are of extruded aluminum, or its alloys. Preferably the members are fastened to the rear faces of the panels by glueing, using double-sided adhesive tape. -1-
