Abstract
A floor-to-ceiling wall system having telescoping studs that extend between a ceiling bracket and a floor leveler assembly. The floor leveler assembly includes a leveling channel that is adjusted in order to level an entire wall. During assembly, a first telescoping stud is secured between the ceiling channel and floor leveler assembly and vertically aligned. Thereafter, subsequent studs are automatically aligned by the securing of horizontal stringers sequentially between the telescoping studs. Door jams and window frames are secured to the studs, and wall panels are hung from the horizontal stringers. Adapter brackets hung from the vertical studs accommodate wall accessories with various mounting hook patterns in order to adapt the wall system to a wide variety of wall accessories.
