ABSTRACT:
For use in a modular decorative wall system, a decorative panel structure includes a decorative panel adhesively bonded to a backing panel of rigid expanded polystyrene, the size of the backing panel being greater than that of the decorative panel to provide the backing panel with a marginal region extending beyond at least two opposite side edges of the decorative panel. To mount to the composite panel structure on a wall, the broad heads of a plurality of tacks are first fixed to the wall so that the prongs of the tacks, the lengths of which exceed the thickness of the backing panel, project outwardly from the wall at respective locations bracketing the two opposite side edges of the decorative panel. The composite panel structure is then "hung" on the wall by pushing the marginal regions of the backing panel onto the projecting prongs until the free end regions of the latter have penetrated through the backing panel. Suitable friction or locking washers are then forced onto the free end backing panel to maintain the latter securely in place. Gaps between adjacent decorative panels may be covered by decorative strips adhesively secured to the proximate side edge regions of the adjacent decorative panels.
