Abstract

A wall used in conjunction with a pre-existing wall to create an improved aesthetic appearance, and eliminate the chances of mold, or mildew growing on a wall. A method for installing a wall having an existing wall, installing at least one support beam substantially vertical on the interior side of the existing wall. Installing at least one top support channel substantially horizontal along a top portion of the interior side of the existing wall. Installing at least one bottom support channel substantially horizontal along a bottom portion of the interior side of the existing wall. Connecting at least one panel to at least one of the support beams, the top support channels, and bottom support channels. Inserting a flexible material of the panels into the intermediate support channels and the corner support channels.

         7 . The method for installing a wall of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of installing supports substantially vertical between said top support channel and said bottom support channel. 
     
     
         8 . The method for installing a wall of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of leveling at least one of said at least one top support channel and said at least one support beam. 
     
     
         9 . A wall structure including an existing wall, an existing ceiling, and an existing floor, said wall structure comprising:
 at least one support beam extending substantially vertical adjacent said existing wall;   at least one top support channel extending substantially horizontal along said existing ceiling;   at least one bottom support channel extending substantially horizontal along said existing floor;   at least one intermediate support connected to said at least one support beam; and   at least one panel extending along said at least one support beam, wherein said at least one panel has a flexible material that is connected to said intermediate support.   
     
     
         10 . The wall structure of  claim 9 , further comprising a first bracket and a second bracket, wherein said at least one panel is connected to said first bracket and said second bracket. 
     
     
         11 . The wall structure of  claim 9 , wherein said flexible material is connected to a jaw of said at least one intermediate support. 
     
     
         12 . The wall structure of  claim 9 , wherein a first surface of said flexible material of a first panel is substantially even with a second surface of said flexible material of a second panel when said flexible material of said first panel and said second panel is connected to said intermediate support. 
     
     
         13 . The wall structure of  claim 9 , wherein said at least one support beam, said at least one top support channel, said at least one bottom support channel, and said at least one intermediate support channel is at least partially made of a metal material. 
     
     
         14 . The wall structure of  claim 8 , said at least one support beam further comprising a plurality of support beams, wherein said plurality of support beams are substantially evenly spaced adjacent said existing wall. 
     
     
         15 . A wall structure including an existing wall, an existing ceiling, and an existing floor, said wall structure comprising:
 a plurality of support beams extending substantially vertical adjacent said existing wall;   a plurality of top support channels extending substantially horizontal along said existing ceiling;   a plurality of bottom support channels extending substantially horizontal along said existing floor;   a plurality of intermediate supports connected to said plurality of support beams;   a plurality of panels extending between said plurality of support beams; and   at least one jaw on each of said plurality of intermediate supports, wherein a flexible material of said plurality of panels is connected to said intermediate support by said jaw.   
     
     
         16 . The wall structure of  claim 15 , wherein a first surface of said flexible material of a first panel is substantially even with a second surface of said flexible material of a second panel when said flexible material of said first panel and said second panel is inserted into said jaw of said intermediate support.
