1. A system for mounting a panel such as an acoustic panel, baffle or fin, the system comprising:
an elongate member, a base of the member being configured to enable it to be mounted with respect to a structure, the configuration of the base comprising:
a planar wall continuous across a width of the base and configured so that the base can be mounted directly to the structure; or
a wall having an opening whereby lips that project inwardly towards each other are defined by the opening, the lips being configured such that a mounting fixture can be located at and retained by the lips,
with opposing sidewalls of the member extending from the base such that, in profile, the sidewalls define a neck portion that extends to an enlarged head portion of the member;
a panel having a recess formed in an edge thereof, the recess being configured to generally correspond to an external profile of the member whereby an inner recess portion is enlarged to snugly or closely receive the member head portion, with an outer recess portion being configured to receive the member neck portion, the outer recess portion opening out of the panel edge such that, when the member is located in the panel recess it is transverse to the panel and retains the panel to the member.
