Abstract
A panel (10) for covering a slat board (12) of a slat wall (11) includes a face portion (22) having a hook member (23) at its lower end and another hook member (24) at its upper end. The hook members (23, 24) are adapted to engage the lateral edges of the slat board (12) so that the face portion (22) is adjacent to the slat board (12). Graphics (40) may be applied to the slat wall (11) by cutting the graphics (40) into strips (40A-40J) with a portion (41) therebetween being removed and discarded. Each strip (40A-40J) is then inserted into a panel (10) between hook members (23, 24), and each panel (10) is sequentially installed on a slat board (12) to recreate the graphic image (40). In another embodiment, opposed upper and lower tabs (29, 30) can be provided at the ends of face portion (22) so that graphic or other decorative material may be held therebetween.
