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.
