Abstract
A wall covering system includes prefabricated T-shaped (in cross section) horizontal supporting strips, L-shaped horizontal supporting strips, L-shaped end-locking strips and decorative panels. The end-locking strips interact with the horizontal strips and the decorative panels, provide an aesthetic appearance to the finished system when assembled on a wall and provide safety by covering the exposed ends of the T-shaped horizontal strips. In use, the wall panelling system disclosed herein may be easily and conveniently installed onto existing walls by a user without professional assistance and may be just as easily and conveniently removed from the wall whenever it is desired to inspect behind the panels, change the decor, or to remove the panels for installation at another location.

A panelling system having component parts capable of being assembled in the field, comprising:
- L-shaped top and bottom strips for assembly parallel to each other against a wall, each said strip having awall-adjacent flange and a protruding flange, said wall-adjacent flange having perforations therethrough and having on a wall-distal surface thereof a plurality of hook-strips of hook-and-loop fasteners;
- T-shaped support strips for assembly parallel to said L-shaped strips, each said strip having two wall-adjacent flanges and a protruding flange, said wall-adjacent flanges having perforations therethrough and having on wall-distal surfaces thereof a plurality of hook-strip of hook-and-loop fasteners;
- and
- end locking strips for assembly perpendicular to said L-shaped strips and T-shaped strips, each end-locking strip having a protruding flange for covering sharp edges of said strips;
- and
- decorative panels having on rear surfaces thereof a plurality of loop-strips of hook-and-loop fasteners coordinately-positioned so as to facilitate interaction between said hook-strips and said loop-strips when said panels are assembled in said wall panelling system.
