Abstract
A wall panel system in which individual panels are arranged in vertically extending rows and horizontally extending courses. Support rails or runners are mounted on the supporting subwall to establish vertical and horizontal alignment of the panels. The rails include panel positioning surfaces extending into the joints between the panels to locate adjacent panels. In one embodiment the positioning surfaces close the joint and provide a finished joint-trim appearance. In another embodiment, the positioning surfaces extending along vertical joints support battens that close the joint and provide a finished joint-trim appearance.
