ABSTRACT:
The wall covering assembly includes a flexible, resilient, preferably sound-deadening, fire-resistant sheet of wall covering, preferably of plastic and/or cloth. The assembly also includes one or a spaced number of preferably parallel wall covering anchoring strips releasably connected to the rear of the wall covering. The strips can be anchored to the exposed surface of a wall to hold the wall covering over and spaced from the wall. Each strip may be of plastic, wood, metal, ceramic or the like and includes a rear base plate adapted to be connected, as by adhesive, screws, etc. to a wall. It also includes a front plate spaced forward of the base plate by integral struts, preferably parallel therewith and defining therebetween an acoustical space. The front plate bears anchoring hooks attachable to the rear of the wall covering. Preferably, the strips bear breakaway segments on one side thereof, removably blocking access to the space. When the segments are removed, ends of the wall covering can be reflected into the space. Segment-bearing sides may be flat, rounded or tapered. The assembly permits rapid efficient attachment of acoustical coverings to walls.
A prefabricated panel can be constructed using a baseboard with strips secured to the top, and a wall covering secured at its ends to the strips. The baseboard has hanging members for securing the panel to a wall.
