Abstract
A multi-sectioned, decorative panel for use in a bathtub surround or the like, the panel having an overall decorative pattern on the exposed surface thereof. The sections of the panel are retained in assembly with the overall decorative pattern of the sections in exact registry and alignment by means of an adhesive strip secured to the section edges and forming a hinge about which the panels can be folded for packaging and shipping and which remains in place during installation, so as to prevent misalignment of the panels, disruption of the overall decorative pattern, and any water leakage between the panel sections. The method of making the multi-sectioned panel is disclosed, as well as the method of installing the panel on a wall surface.
