ABSTRACT:
A wrap around valance system physically mounted to the top of a convenience store interior wall system, beneath the ceiling, is formed of end abutting, horizontally aligned, standard size interchangeable illuminated and non-illuminated modules of fabricated sheet metal formed with open front windows slidably mounting respectively, color display photo panels and color graphic decor panels. The non-illuminated modules have at least two sets of top and bottom facing open ended horizontal slots so that a color graphic display card may be superimposed over the color graphic decor panel to display temporary or seasonal information. A continuous wiring system is formed within the end to end coupled modules with electrical junction boxes mounted, respectively to opposite end walls of each illuminated module leading to a fluorescent lamp mounted internally of the illuminated module housings for backlighting of the photo panels. One or more short length non-illuminated modules bearing top and bottom extrusions of lengths equal to the gap between standard length modules for a given valence system section slidably receive a color graphic decor panel of a length equal to the extrusions to complete a section of the valance system.
