The end caps have upwardly directed sections which, along with facia trim strips, obscure the peripheral surfaces of the panels. Each panel includes a surrounding metal frame having inwardly turned flanges and a composite filler member formed from an upper protective layer, a lower decorative layer, and an intermediate insulating layer. The sides of each frame are configured to interlock the panel of that frame with the frames of the adjacent panels, and are further configured to enable the panels to pivot into interlocking engagement. | |
