A lap siding or panel siding product with a unique shiplap joint that spaces abutting pieces of lap siding correctly from each other without measurements taken or needed by the installer. The shiplap joint comprises a bottom element and a top element, each extending from the respective piece of lap or panel siding. A set of “tabs” or “hook-tabs” is engineered on or adjacent to the underside of each joint element to space the pieces of lap or panel siding correctly, without requiring measurement during installation. The locations of the tabs or hook-tabs serve as a stop point for placement of the two pieces of lap or panel siding, allowing self-indexing. Post-installation, as the siding pieces expand or elongate length-wise or laterally, the two tabs or hook-tabs move away from each other, thereby allowing expansion and / or elongation without distortion or warping of the siding pieces.

A modular vault is comprised of a plurality of side walls. One of the side walls has an access opening for a door (reinforced or vault doors). Each of the plurality of side walls is designed from prefabricated frames of known widths (e.g., 16 inches, 32 inches, 48 inches). Each frame is configured with first narrow openings for receiving vertically oriented studs and with second larger openings for receiving a protective metal plate. Integrated wiring access passages are located within the prefabricated frames. By use of this arrangement, the exterior and interior of the modular vault may include various types of sheeting (e.g., shiplap, drywall, wood paneling, plywood) to provide an aesthetically pleasing look to the modular vault.

A multi-layered integrated roofing plank or panel with a base layer comprising engineered or manufactured wood, a water resistant barrier layer covering at least the outer face of the base layer, and at least one of the edges of the base layer. A texturizing material also may be affixed to, or integrated with, the water resistant barrier layer. The edges of the roofing plank or panel may be configured as part of a joint with adjacent planks or panels, including, but not limited to, shiplap joints, tongue-and-groove joints, bead-and-cove joints, butt joints, or combinations or variations thereof.
