Formed sheet metal clips, affixed relative to a wall panel being mounted, support the panel on a central downwardly extending hump in the clip, which provides a pivot point permitting slight rotation of the vertically extending panel, for easy placement in exactly the desired vertical extent prior to affixing the panel in place, as by screws or adhesive. The clips may be affixed to the panel bottom or to a floor track and may additionally provide means for affixing a wall base trim.
