Panel backing and mounting system

Abstract

Provided is a panel support system for architectural displays. The panel support system includes an architectural panel defining a carved surface, an opposing architectural attachment surface and a sidewall extending between the carved surface and the architectural attachment surface. A planar support member is connected to the architectural attachment surface. The planar support member is sized and configured to mitigate deformation of the carved surface. A mounting system may also be included, having a panel mounting member coupled to the panel and a support surface mounting member connected to a wall. The panel mounting member includes a cup engageable with a bulbous tip formed on the support surface mounting member. An alignment system may further be provided and include alignment members which are attached to respective panels. The alignment members connected to adjacent panels are engageable with each other to align the adjacent panels.
