A siding panel adapted to be installed in an overlapping relationship and an interlocking manner with other adjacent siding panels comprising:(a) a nailing hem adjacent a lateral edge of said siding panel; (b) said nailing hem comprising a face portion and a rear portion to define a double thick nailing hem and a reverse S configuration, as viewed from the right side of said panel when installed, adjacent said nail hem designed to receive a lateral edge of an adjacent panel; (c) said rear portion being formed by folding the face portion rearward onto itself; (d) said nailing hem defining a plurality of apertures extending through said double thick nailing hem; and (e) two longitudinally extending protrusions, one on either side of said apertures so as to prevent the face of a tool, driving a fastener through the apertures, from driving the head of the fastener tight against the nail hem.
