Abstract:
1. A method of use of a plurality of generally rectangular wall panels in a selected generally rectangular room having four room walls and a room doorway proximate a first room corner comprising the following steps: (A) selecting and installing in said room a generally rectangular molded one-piece floor pan [ (B) evaluating a first room wall to the left of said doorway threshold and determining a number of said wall panels [ (C) selecting a first wall panel having a left end having a left side flange and a right end having a right side flange and measuring for fit on said first room wall, the panel being too long for said first room wall, selectively transversely cutting said first wall panel left end to fit said first wall panel [ (D) evaluating a second room wall to the right of said second room corner and determining a number of said wall panels needed to provide a second wall course of wall panels serially end to end on said second room wall from said second room corner to a third room corner and when approximately one and a third wall panels are needed; (E) selecting a second wall panel and a third wall panel each said wall panel having a left end having a left side flange and a right end having a right side flange and measuring for fit on said second room wall; said two panels end to end being too long for said second room wall, selectively transversely cutting off said left side flange of said third wall panel to fit and said third wall panel [ (F) depositing a first plurality of globs [ (G) placing said second wall panel in said panel receiving shelf with said second panel left cut edge positioned to cooperate and engage said first plurality of spring clips within said first clamping gap; and attaching said second wall panel positioned between said second room corner and said third wall panel with a plurality of panel mounting screws [ (H) evaluating a third room wall to the right of said third room corner and determining a number of said wall panels needed to provide a third wall course of wall panels serially end to end on said third room wall from said third room corner to a fourth room corner, and when less than a full-length wall panel is needed; (I) selecting a fourth wall panel having a left end having a left side flange and a right end having a right side flange and measuring for fit on said third room wall and said fourth wall panel being too long for said third room wall, selectively transversely cutting said fourth wall panel left end forming a fourth panel left cut edge to fit said fourth wall panel [ (J) depositing a second plurality of globs [ (K) placing said fourth wall panel in said panel receiving shelf with said fourth panel left cut edge positioned to cooperate and engage said second plurality of spring clips within said second clamping gap; and attaching said fourth wall panel positioned between said third room corner and said fourth room corner with a plurality of panel mounting screws to said third room wall with said third clamping gap proximate said fourth room corner; (L) evaluating a fourth room wall to the right of said fourth room corner and determining a number of said wall panels needed to provide a fourth wall course of wall panels serially end to end on said fourth room wall from said fourth room corner to a right side of said doorway, and when less than a full-length wall panel is needed; (M) selecting a fifth wall panel having a left end having a left side flange and a right end having a right side flange and measuring for fit on said fourth room wall and said fifth wall panel being too long for said fourth room wall, selectively transversely cutting said fifth wall panel left end forming a fifth panel left cut edge to fit said fifth wall panel [ (N) depositing a third plurality of globs [ (O) placing said fifth wall panel in said panel receiving shelf with said fifth panel left cut edge positioned to cooperate and engage said third plurality of spring clips within said third clamping gap; and attaching said fifth wall panel positioned between said fourth room corner and said right side of said doorway; and (P) selectively repeating steps (B) through (P) regarding each additional course of wall panels selected to be installed in said room until a last wall panel of a last course of wall panels is attached to one of said room walls.
