  • Patent number: 4947601
    Abstract: A trim system for a wall panel system including first and second panels each having upper, lower and opposite side edges and opposite faces, the panels being connected with respective side edges located adjacent to each other. The trim system includes edge caps for mounting on the panel upper and side edges and includes a plurality of intersection caps adapted for joining the edge caps at panel intersections. The intersection caps have configurations which correspond to various configurations of the panel intersections, such as right angle, three-way tee, four-way cross and obtuse angle. A method of trimming a wall system includes the steps of placing panels in configurations with respective panel side edges adjacent to each other, inserting edge caps into intersection caps, placing the intersection caps over the panel intersections, placing the edge caps over the panel edges, and snapping the panel edge caps into releasable engagement with the panel edges.
