Abstract:
A wall panel for installation on a supporting wall includes a facing surface that includes a plurality of separate and spaced apart design elements. The design elements define a channel therebetween. The panel also includes a backing surface having at least one rib opposite the channel. The rib extends transversely across the backing surface, such as a parallel to one of the upper or lower edges of the panel or at an angle between 0 and 90 relative to one of the upper or lower edges of panel. Fasteners are engagable through the channel and the rib for securing the wall panel to the supporting wall. Upon installation of the wall panel on the supporting wall, one or more air gaps are defined by the rib and the backing surface opposite the design elements. The rib provides additional material opposite the channel to prevent the panel from breaking during installation.

Claim (Index 1):
A wall panel for installation on a supporting wall, the wall panel comprising:\n a facing surface comprising a plurality of design elements, wherein the design elements are separate and spaced apart from each other, extend outwardly from the facing surface in a first direction, and define a channel therebetween; and a backing surface comprising at least one rib, the rib extending away from the backing surface in a second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite the first direction, and the rib is disposed opposite at least a portion of the channel such that a plane extending parallel to the first and second directions extends through a central portion of the channel and the rib, wherein: one or more fasteners are engagable through the channel and the rib for securing the wall panel to the supporting wall, and upon installation of the wall panel on the supporting wall, the facing surface faces outwardly relative to the supporting wall, the backing surface faces toward the supporting wall, and one or more air gaps are defined by the rib and the backing surface opposite the design elements.
