Abstract
Provided is a paneling system that may be applied to a substrate such as a wall or other surface. The paneling system comprises a plurality of panels each containing a fastener on the back side of the individual panels and a corresponding fastener connected to a substrate such as a wall. Connecting or interlocking the fastener positioned on the back side of a panel to a fastener positioned on a substrate such as a wall results in an established connection between the panel and the substrate or wall. To remove the installed panels from the substrate or wall, one simply pulls the panel off of the substrate to disconnect the fasteners from each other.

A paneling system for a rigid substrate comprising:
- a plurality of rigid individual panels, each of the panels having a front side, a back side, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge;
- a first fastener connected to the back side of the individual panels with a permanent pressure adhesive;
- a second fastener connected to the substrate with a second adhesive,
- wherein the individual panels are adapted to be removably installed to the substrate through a connection established between the first fastener and the second fastener;
- wherein the fasteners are adapted to be disconnected without damage by pulling them apart
- wherein the first fastener is elongated in a first direction;
- wherein the second fastener is elongated in a second direction;
- wherein the panels have a thickness ranging from 2 to 6 millimeters;
- wherein the individual panels are rectangular in shape having
- a length between 25 centimeters and 112 centimeters, and
- a width of 12.8 centimeters;
- wherein the panels are made of wood;
- and
- wherein the permanent pressure second adhesive are both the same adhesive which is an emulsion acrylic ultra-removable adhesive having moderate tack on flat smooth surfaces.
