A molding strip assembly is provided for use in covering a support surface with a flexible material and is particularly adapted for retaining facing interior marginal edges of a pair of material panels within the interior of a framework which surrounds the area to be covered on the support surface. The molding strip assembly has a base wall to be positioned adjacent the support surface and first and second raised support walls along opposite lateral sides of the base wall. The support walls are oriented and supported in spaced relation above the support surface. Preferably, first and second interior side walls extend between the base wall and the first and second raised support walls, respectively, to define a U-shaped channel region; first and second outer side walls extend downwardly from the first and second raised support walls, respectively, and terminate in outwardly turned attachment flanges for securing the strip to the support surface. The first and second interior side walls are each separated into upper and lower portions, and a pair of resiliently biased clamping walls are formed between each upper and lower portion so that the marginal edge of each flexible panel may be trained over a respective support wall and forced between the respective pair of clamping walls to be retained by the molding strip. A reveal element may then be lockably inserted to close the U-shaped channel. Special reveal elements and bracket assemblies may also be employed to attach shelving to the molding strip and, thus, the support surface.
