Abstract
Spaced panel bearing studs are vertically arranged to receive and support panel members defining a wall surface. The studs are maintained in a spaced apart relation by detachable spacer bars extending therebetween and releasably engaged therewith. The panel members can be adhesively secured to the studs or mechanically secured in place by separate batten strips or by skirt portions formed integral with the panel members. The batten strips and skirts are each provided with tongues having enlarged formations interlockingly engagable with clips detachably mounted on the studs. Axially adjustable extender clips are insertable in the upper ends of the studs for connecting the studs to ceiling channel members.
