first panel 22 a is secured to thestructure 12, the installer moves thesecond panel 22 b toward thefirst panel 22 a, aligning thefirst coupler 42 of the second panel with thesecond coupler 44 of thefirst panel 22 a. As shown inFIG. 3 , the installer then moves the first andsecond legs second panel 22 b into engagement with the mountingflange 52 of thefirst panel 22 a. In some embodiments of the present invention, thefirst leg 46 of thesecond panel 22 b extends across the groove 60 a of thefirst panel 22 a, substantially covering anyfasteners 72 located along the mountingflange 52 to secure thefirst panel 22 a to thestructure 12 and giving the panel system a “finished” appearance. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thefirst leg 46 of thesecond panel 22 b engages theupper end 32 of thefirst panel 22 a and thesecond leg 48 of thesecond panel 22 b engages theshoulder 56 of thesecond panel 22 b to maintain a predetermined spacing between the first andsecond panels FIG. 3 , in some embodiments, the engagement between thelegs flange 52 orients thesecond panel 22 b in a desired orientation with respect to thefirst panel 22 a (e.g., with thefront face 24 of thesecond panel 22 b and thefront face 24 of thefirst panel 22 a substantially aligned along an imaginary plane (not shown)) and thestructure 12. - Once the
second panel 22 b is coupled to thefirst panel 22 a,fasteners 72 can be inserted through attachment holes 96 in one or both of the mountingflanges second panel 22 b to secure thesecond panel 22 b to thestructure 12. - After the first and
second panels structure 12, the installer moves thethird panel 22 c toward thesecond panel 22 b, aligning thefirst coupler 42 of thethird panel 22 c with thesecond coupler 44 of thesecond panel 22 b. As shown inFIG. 3 , the installer then moves the first andsecond legs third panel 22 c into engagement with the mountingflange 52 of thesecond panel 22 b. In some embodiments of the present invention,fasteners 72 can be inserted through attachment holes 96 in one or both of the mountingflanges third panel 22 c to secure thethird panel 22 c to thestructure 12. This process can be repeated as necessary to form apanel system 10 having the desired number of panels 22. - After the
panels structure 12,trim pieces 106 can be secured to one or bothsides panels interior spaces 38, hiding the interior supports 88 and/or theinsulation 90. In some embodiments,trim pieces 106 can also or alternatively be secured to the upper and lower ends 32, 34 or to the first andsecond couplers panels - As shown in
FIG. 2 , in some embodiments, hooks, shelves, brackets, andother supports 108 can be secured to thepanel system 10. In some embodiments, thepanels channels 110 between the mountingflanges 68 and the first andsecond face plates FIGS. 2-4 ,lips channels 110 to maintainsupports 108 in thechannels 110 and to prevent thesupports 108 from moving outwardly away from thefront face 24 of thepanels supports 108 can be inserted into thechannels 110, and in some cases, can be moved along the length of thechannels 110 to a desired location. For example, as shown inFIG. 2 , hooks and shelf brackets can be inserted into thechannels 110 of thepanels channels 110 to desired locations. To install the supports, an operator can remove one of thetrim pieces 106 and can slide one ormore supports 108 along thechannel 110 toward a desired location. The operator can then replace thetrim piece 106 to maintain thesupport 108 in thechannel 110. - In other embodiments, the
supports 108 can be positioned between twopanels panels channels 112. For example, in the illustrated embodiment ofFIG. 2 , theupper end 32 and thelip 82 of thefirst panel 22 a together with thelower end 34,lip 80, andleg 46 of thesecond panel 22 b define achannel 112. Alternatively or in addition, theupper end 32 and the 82 lip of thesecond panel 22 b together with thelower end 34,lip 80, andleg 46 of thethird panel 22 c define achannel 112. In these embodiments, thesupports 108 can be inserted into thechannels 112, and in some cases, can be moved along the length of thechannels 112 to a desired location. To install the supports, an operator can remove one of thetrim pieces 106 and can slide one ormore supports 108 along thechannel 112 toward a desired location. The operator can then replace thetrim piece 106 to maintain thesupport 108 in thechannel 112. - In
embodiments having channels 110 located between the first andsecond face plates channels 112 located between thepanels channels supports 108, or alternatively, thechannels - In other embodiments, supports 108 can be secured to other portions of the
panels first face plate 64 or thesecond face plate 66, using conventional fasteners. - Various alternatives and embodiments are contemplated as being within the scope of the following claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter regarded as the invention.
