METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING WALL PANELS TO A WALL

摘要

A method of assembling wall panels includes mounting a plurality of PVC fastening extrusions to a wall in a predetermined parallel, spaced apart relationship, each having a length much greater than a length of a wall panel and having two spaced apart resilient bent end securing walls extending from a base, each securing wall having a projection, each wall panel having a main wall panel and four bent end sections with recesses and corner openings, pressing a bent end section into the spacing between the securing walls to cause deformation and snapping back thereof a projection engages in a respective recess, sliding said wall panel along the parallel, spaced apart fastening extrusions to a desired position with the corner openings permitting said sliding action, and repeating the steps of pressing and sliding for additional wall panels.

主权项

1. A fastener for attaching wall panels to a supporting surface, the fastener comprising:
a base section; a first securing wall extending upwardly from the base section, the first securing wall including an inner surface and an inwardly directed first projection; an L-shaped first extension coupled to the first securing wall, the first extension including a first leg extending inwardly from the inner surface of the first securing wall overlying the base section in spaced apart relationship forming a first opening therebetween, and a second leg extending upwardly from the first leg opposing the inner surface of the first securing wall in spaced apart relationship forming a second opening therebetween; a second securing wall extending upwardly from the base section, the second securing wall including an inner surface and an inwardly directed second projection; and an L-shaped second extension coupled to the second securing wall, the second extension including a first leg extending inwardly from the inner surface of the second securing wall overlying the base section in spaced apart relationship forming a third opening therebetween, and a second leg extending upwardly from the first leg opposing the inner surface of the second securing wall in spaced apart relationship forming a fourth opening therebetween.
