Abstract
Included in a panel assembly are panels each having opposite side walls terminating respectively in a standing fixed male seam and a standing deformable female seam. Similar ones of these panels are laterally joined to one another in a secure manner atop underlying support elements by mounting clips disposed intermediate juxtaposed side walls of adjacent panels. Assembly is achieved by sequentially inserting an uppermost flange on the mounting clips into a groove in the male seam of a first panel prior to rotating the clips downwardly juxtaposition the panel side wall and anchoring the clips to the support elements. Then a next panel is lowered with a downwardly facing cavity on its female seam overlying the first panel male seam, followed by roll-crimping of a portion of the uppermost female seam about the innermost male seam and mounting clip flange.
