ABSTRACT:
A wall panel which provides the attractive look of a tiled wall, but also includes a flat area without grout lines for accepting wallpaper or other decoration. The unit includes sheets of vacuum formed material, having formed in one face thereof a plurality of substantially identical regular polygonal shapes, such as squares, each of these shapes being generally immediately adjacent the neighboring shapes, so that the appearance of grout lines is formed between the adjacent shapes. At least one generally rectangular flat area is formed in the material, that flat area having one dimension substantially greater than the largest dimension of any one of the shapes. The width of the flat area is no larger than the largest dimension of any one of the shapes. Each sheet of material has a vertical edge flange portion formed along one entire vertical edge of the sheet, and adapted to be disposed in relation to a corresponding vertical edge of the next adjacent sheet in such a way that the next adjacent sheet overlies the edge flange. Resulting in the appearance of a smooth connection between adjacent sheets. Inner corner moldings and linear moldings ae provided for dressing the top edges of the sheets and for rounding out the physical installation of the sheets.
