A shingled panel (10) for covering the exterior of structures is disclosed which includes a base sheet (11) having at least one, and preferably multiple courses (12, 25, 35) of shingles secured thereto. The lowest course (12) of shingles (13) are positioned over a water resistant membrane strip (17) having an opening (18) through which the shingles (13) are glued directly to the base sheet (11). Each higher course (25, 35) of shingles (26, 36) has a membrane strip (27, 37) thereunder which terminates short of the bottom of each shingle in that course so that glue bond (31, 41) between the lower portion of each shingle (36, 26) in that course (35, 25) and the shingles (26, 13) in the next lower course (25, 12) can be achieved. Side-to-side sealing of adjacent panels (10) is effected by the end shingles (22, 48, 56) in alternate courses of shingles extending beyond the edges (34, 42) of the panel, while the end shingles (14, 28, 49) in the same courses at the opposite ends similarly are laterally recessed from the edges (34, 42) of the panel (10). Moreover, laterally recessed end shingles (14, 28) have a thickness dimension greater than laterally protruding end shingles (22, 48, 56) to facilitate nesting of shingles from laterally adjacent panels in overlapped, side-by-side relation across the joint between adjacent panels. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
In a shingled building panel including a sheet-like base having at least one course of side-by-side shingles extending across and secured to said base, the improvement comprising: said shingles in a lowermost course on said base having ends extending below a lower edge of said base to overlap an upper edge of a similarly formed panel mounted in vertically abutting relation to said panel; said lowermost course having end shingles at opposite ends of said base which are mounted to protrude laterally beyond and to be laterally recessed with respect to opposite side edges of said base by a distance which is about equal; and the laterally recessed end shingle having a thickness dimension over an upper portion thereof greater than the thickness dimension of the laterally protruding end shingle over the same upper portion whereby the thicker end shingle spaces any vertical adjacent course having an overlapping end shingle at a greater distance from said base than the thickness dimension of a protruding end shingle on a similarly formed panel placed in side-by-side abutting relation to said panel.
2.
The shingled building panel as defined in claim 1 wherein, said panel includes at least two courses, with an upper course vertically overlapped over a portion of said lowermost course, and with an end shingle of said upper course protruding laterally beyond the side edge of said base on the side of said base having the laterally recessed end shingle in said lowermost course, and an end shingle in said upper course laterally recessed from the side edge of said base having the laterally protruding end shingle in said lowermost course.
3.
The shingled building panel as defined in claim 2 wherein, said end shingles in any course protrude laterally beyond and are laterally recessed from said side edges by about the same distance.
4.
The shingled building panel as defined in claim 2 wherein, said panel has three courses of shingles secured to said base with said end shingles in vertically alternating of said courses extending beyond and being recessed from said side edges at both side edges of said base, and said recessed end shingles having a vertically adjacent course thereabove having a greater thickness dimension than the laterally protruding shingles at the opposite end of the same course
