Abstract
A wall panel system that includes a plurality of rails positioned substantially parallel to each other, a plurality of panels wherein each panel extends between two adjacent rails, and a cross spline is positioned between each pair of panels and extending substantially perpendicular to adjacent rails is provided. The rails are attachable to a wall support structure. The rails receive the panels and maintain the panels in a spaced-apart relationship. Each panel includes a peripheral edge having a groove formed into the peripheral edge such that the groove is continuous and extends about the entire peripheral edge of the panel. Both the rails and the cross spline include a tongue that is insertable into the groove of each panel to allow the rails and cross splines to be in engagement with the panels.
