ABSTRACT:
A molding strip for fabric and wall systems has a base for securing it to a wall and a pair of flexible gripping walls facing each other between a fabric entry slot and a fabric receiving cavity. The flexible gripping walls have gripping teeth formed and arranged to encounter the inserted fabric with a front angled surface, with a back surface substantially perpendicular to the direction of fabric entry. The front and back surfaces of the gripping teeth form points projecting into cavities between the gripping teeth on the opposing gripping wall. A one piece fabric panel molding extrusion is "S" shaped and has overlapping alignment regions spaced from the base and may have pre-formed drill starting indentations and apetures. A two piece fabric panel molding includes a mounting base extrusion and a fabric locking extrusion with an interlocking arrangement therebetween. In the two piece fabric panel molding, the mounting base extrusion is secured to a ceiling or wall, and the fabric locking extrusion is then affixed by a simple counter clockwise to clockwise rotational movement.
