## Abstract

An eco-friendly wall panel system may comprise a plurality of panels, horizontal joints and panel clips which are all fabricated from the same sheet of material. For example, the panels may initially be fabricated from the phenolic sheets. After the maximum quantity of panels has been fabricated from any one sheet, the remaining portion of the phenolic sheet may be used to fabricate the horizontal runners and the panel clips which may be smaller than the panels. As such, as much of the phenolic sheet is being used to fabricate the system. Hence, the process and the product are both eco-friendly.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of manufacturing a wall panel kit, the method comprising the steps of:
providing one or more rigid sheets all fabricated from one type of material;
cutting a plurality of panels and at least one joint or panel clip front the arm or more rigid sheets;
wherein the panel clip is attachable to the panel and the joint is attachable to a wall for joining the panel to the wall.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the cutting step includes the step of cutting the one or more sheets into rectangular panels.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the cutting step includes:
cutting horizontal joints from the one or more sheets, the horizontal joints being longer than the width of the panel and cutting upper and lower grooves in opposed longitudinal surfaces of the horizontal joints;
cutting vertical joints from the one or more sheets, the vertical joints being shorter than a height of the panels.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3 wherein the upper and lower grooves of the horizontal joints are formed with a shaper.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more rigid sheets is fabricated from phenolic.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the cutting step includes:
cutting horizontal edge joints from the one or more sheets;
cutting a first groove in one of opposed longitudinal surfaces of the horizontal edge joints.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 whereto the panel clips are attached to the panels and the joints are attached to the wall.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 wherein the one type of material is an eco-friendly material.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method of claim 8 wherein the eco-friendly material is phenolic.
