Abstract

See full text

A clip (61) for holding together an upper roof cladding sheet (29a) and a lower roof cladding sheet (29b) in an end to end, i.e. end lap, relationship on a roof. The clip is formed to fit over and lock onto a rib (31) of the lower cladding sheet and to retain the upper sheet on the clip. An elongate weather strip (57) is formed from a compressible material and includes a pan section (81) that can fill a gap between overlapping pans of the cladding sheets. The pan section includes an upper surface having a series of troughs (87) and ridges (89) along the length of the pan section that has the result of providing the pan section with a variable height along the length of the pan section. The ridges of the pan section compress when the upper roof cladding sheet is positioned on and engaged with the lower cladding sheet in an overlapping relationship with the pan section filling the gap between the cladding sheets.
