Abstract
A connection system for securing a wall panel shell to a frame member. The frame member includes a groove and the shell includes a mounting member received within the groove. The shell includes a skin member secured to one or more structural members. Each mounting member is carried by a structural member, and is part of a connector that is separate from and engaged with the structural member. The connector includes a base having spaced apart engagement areas, which are received within spaced apart recesses in the structural member. The structural member defines a flat surface which facilitates application of pressure to bond the structural member and the skin member together using an adhesive. Thereafter, the connector is engaged with the structural member via a snap-on engagement arrangement, to enable the wall panel shell to be mounted to the frame member.
