A decorative building panel system comprising:
- a first sheet of material having a front side and a backside, said first sheet of material including an array of perforations, said array of perforations being formed in a predetermined regular pattern of columns and rows;
- a second sheet of material having a front side and a backside, said second sheet of material including an array of perforations, said array of perforations in said second sheet being of the same size and being formed in the same regular pattern of columns and rows as said array of perforations in said first sheet;
- means for mounting said first sheet;
- means for mounting said second sheet substantially parallel to and spaced apart from said first sheet so that said perforations in said first sheet and said second sheet are substantially congruent;
- at least one mounting surface formed along at least one edge of at least one of said first and second sheets of material, said at least one mounting surface being constructed and arranged for mounting said first sheet to said means for mounting said first sheet and mounting said second sheet to said means for mounting said second sheet;
