Abstract: A kit releasably attachable to a wall includes a plurality of elongated members, and at least one hook-and-loop fastener. The plurality of members are releasably attachable to the wall with the at least one hook-and-loop fastener to define at least one frame. For example, the kit may be elongated members for framing a door or a window. The kit may also include at least one panel to be framed such as a raised panel, a cork board, a chalkboard, and a presentation board. At least one resilient shim may be positionable between the wall and a rear portion of the at least one panel. In another embodiment, the kit includes an upper rail, a bottom rail, a plurality of stiles, a plurality of raised panels, and at least one hook-and-loop fastener for releasably attaching the rails to the wall.
Abstract: An adjustably sizeable raised panel system is disclosed which is attachable to a lower outer surface portion of a wall along flights of stairs having different rises and runs or slopes. The system includes adjustably sizeable raised panels which include a parallelogram-shaped member having a pair of vertically-extending sides and parallel angled top and bottom sides. The top and bottom sides of the panels have a longer peripherally-extending portion compared to the peripherally-extending portions of the vertically-extending sides. This allows a carpenter to cut or trim the top and bottom sides on the job site to correspond to the slope of the flight of stairs. Desirably, the relieved portion is disposed on an angle of either about 37 degrees or about 41 degrees which allows adjustment, e.g.
Abstract: A wood panel system that includes an upper rail, a lower rail and a stile is provided. The upper rail and lower rails are in rigid communication with a wall, while the stile may float between the upper and lower rails. In certain embodiments, the upper rail and the stile are joined by a noncoped groove. The outer edges of the upper rail and the stile may be disposed within different planes that are each parallel to the wall. The upper rail may have a lip that extends over a portion of the stile. Preferably, the stile is formed of a wood veneer coated core material.
