ABSTRACT:
An assembly of border pieces attachable to a wall to form a framework for mounting a fabric sheet which completely covers the wall without being adhered thereto. The assembly is constituted by linear border pieces whose ends abut right angle border pieces to define a framework that follows the perimeter of the wall and of any openings therein. Each piece includes a storage channel that runs along the outer edge of the piece and has a narrow inlet on the face of the piece, and a keyway extending along the piece in parallel relation to the channel, the keyway also having a narrow inlet on the face of the piece. In securing the selvage of the fabric sheet to a border piece, the selvage is placed over the face and a zone thereon is trapped within the keyway by means of a compressible spline which overlies the selvage zone and is forced into the keyway through its inlet, the remaining tail of the selvage being stuffed into the storage channel whereby the exposed selvage presents a smooth appearance.
