A roof panel juncture securely couples in a water sealed, abutting manner facing edges of adjacent, generally planar roof panels along the pitch of the roof. Each panel includes an upper sheet metal facing, a lower vinyl covered wood facing, and a core of rigid foam insulation sandwiched therebetween. The lateral edges of the panel\s upper sheet metal facing are each provided with a 90°upturned portion, the upper end portion of which is further bent downward at an acute angle toward the plane of the sheet metal facing to form a hook and drip-edge. The adjacent upturned facing edge portions of abutting panels are adapted to receive in sliding engagement along the lengths thereof a generally concave, elongated, linear roof batten which maintains adjacent roof panel edges in tight-fitting engagement so as to form a water-tight seal therebetween. The adjacent lateral edges of the lower facings of each of the roof panels are adapted to receive a ceiling batten therebetween along the length of the panels. The ceiling batten includes a lower slot along the length thereof which, in combination with a snap-in strip plate, forms an enclosed raceway for wire runs. A blocking spline is inserted in facing edges of adjacent panels and is maintained in position by the ceiling batten and provides a heat conduction break in the roof and reinforces the roof panel juncture.

A juncture arrangement for coupling first and second generally planar roof panels for use in a pitched roof, each roof panel having a respective upper facing, a lower facing and an intermediate layer of insulation disposed therebetween, said juncture arrangement comprising: first and second respective upturned edges of the upper facing of the first and second roof panels wherein each of said first and second upturned edges includes a respective proximal generally flat, linear section and a respective distal hooked end bent downwardly at an acute angle toward the plane of its associated upper facing so as to form a pair of spaced drip edges; a first elongated, linear roof batten adapted for sliding engagement with said abutting upturned edges of the first and second roof panels along the length thereof, said roof batten having a first pair of inner closely spaced, generally flat, parallel members each having a respective distal upper edge portion, wherein the distal upper edge portion of each of said inner members engages a respective upturned edge of an upper facing of the first and second roof panels along a juncture of the proximal and distal sections thereof in maintaining the roof batten in secure engagement with the upturned edges of the upper facings of the first and second roof panels, said roof batten further including a first pair of facing lateral ribs extending outward therefrom; sealing means disposed between said first roof batten and each respective upper facing of the first and secon roof panels, said sealing means including first and second mastic adhesive strips disposed in tight fitting relation between a respective lateral rib of said first roof batten and a respective upper facing of said first and second roof panels; and a second elongated, linear ceiling batten adapted to engage and couple adjacent, facing edges of the lower facings of the first and second roof panels.
