Abstract
There is disclosed a wall panel and wall paneling system which panels include a light weight polystyrene tray having an compartment. Within the compartment is installed a insulative, resilient insert. A fabric facing or web is loosely stretched across the opening of the tray's compartment to enclose the insert within the compartment, and the fabric is glued to the walls of the tray. When the wall panel is installed, by gluing it to the existing walls, molding strips engage the side walls of the tray to hold adjacent panels together, to stretch the fabric facing more tightly across the opening of the compartment, and to expose the molding strips and side walls as uniformly spaced vertical battens.
