This process is then repeated with athird panel 2 so that the complementarylongitudinal edges - In some embodiments, the method includes attaching each
panel 2 to the wall (W) along the panel'sback surface 6 without adhesive or other attachment applied between the longitudinal edges (8 or 10) or the resting support portions (12 or 16) ofadjacent panels 2. As such, the system and method do not require that each panel is completely flush against the adjacent panel or that the edges of adjacent panels be entirely straight or otherwise have tightly matching configurations. In embodiments withpanels 2 including abacking 30, references herein describing attaching theback 6 of anelongated panel 2 to a wall (W) include attaching theback surface 36 of thebacking 30 to the wall (W). - It should be understood that, while the discussion refers to upper and lower
elongated panels 2, theelongated panels 2 could be oriented vertically in order to create an effect where theflutes 24 run vertically. - The configurations of the complementary first and second longitudinal edges disclosed herein are selected provide a number of benefits. For example, the overlapping portions of
FIGS. 4-14 prevent people from seeing through the space between panels to the underlying wall. In addition, the presence of the support and restingportions beveled portion 14 and/or thelip 34, helps prevent a panel from pivoting off the wall while the adhesive is drying. For example, inFIG. 9 , theintermediate portion 20 of the upper panel (U) holds the upper edge of the lower panel (L) against the wall (W). - Although the subject matter has been described in terms of exemplary embodiments, it is not limited thereto. Rather, the appended claims should be construed broadly, to include other variants and embodiments, which may be made by those skilled in the art.
