A demountable and remountable wall assembly for partitioning room space between an overhead and a floor, the major elements of which are reusable. The assembly provides one or two walls, at lease one of which has an outer fastener-free surface. Additionally, the fastener-free surface may be made substantially smooth and seamless. The walls are arranged in planar congruence, separated by internal spacers or studs, and vertically positioned between the overhead and floor of the room space to be partitioned. Removable tracks or spacers at the top and bottom of the wall assembly serves to interface the wall assembly with the floor and ceiling of the space. The walls are constructed of either finished or unfinished wall panels (e.g., fabric covered or sheet rock panels) which are incorporated into the assembly using a combination of removable fasteners and releasable adhesives. The finished or exposed area of a wall surface includes no fasteners. Any fasteners used to fix a wall panel in place is covered by a removable trim or other removable feature, which make the fasteners readily exposable and easy to remove.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of assembling and demounting a paneling system, comprising: fastening two panels in an abutting fashion on a support element with one or more fasteners to form at least one panel joint; applying a tape over at least one of the fasteners; placing a layer of comp
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of assembling and demounting a paneling system, comprising: fastening two panels in an abutting fashion on a support element with one or more fasteners to form at least one panel joint; applying a tape over at least one of the fasteners; placing a layer of compound over the tape; permitting the compound to cure; gripping the tape at a first location as the paneling system is demounted; pulling the tape from the paneling system to sufficiently expose the one or more fasteners; and disengaging the one or more fasteners in order to demount the paneling system. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising fastening the one or more panels to a second support element at a second location. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein a portion of the panel is located in a substantially vertical plane. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein a portion of the panel is located in a substantially horizontal plane. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising creating the first location by cutting into the compound after the compound is cured and exposing the tape. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising creating the first location by leaving a portion of the tape uncovered by the compound. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising covering the first location with a material, including crown mold, base board, or trim. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the material is located in the middle of the panel. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing a conduit next to the panels and substantially parallel to a floor, wherein the conduit is provided for running wiring. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the paneling system is a wall. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more fasteners is an adhesive. 12. A method of assembling and demounting a paneling system, comprising: fastening two panels in an abutting fashion on a support element with one or more fasteners to form at least one panel joint; applying a tape over at least one of the fasteners; placing a layer of compound over the tape; permitting the compound to cure; gripping the tape at a first location as the paneling system is demounted; pulling the tape from the paneling system to sufficiently expose the one or more fasteners; and disengaging the one or more fasteners in order to demount the paneling system, wherein the one or more fasteners has a non-stick head to facilitate removing the compound from the fasteners. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising applying a coating, including, to the one or more fasteners to create the non-stick head. 14. The method of claim 12, further comprising sufficiently removing the compound from the head of the one or more fasteners. 15. A method of assembling a paneling system, comprising: fastening two panels in an abutting fashion on a support element with one or more fasteners; forming a joint at an edge of at least one of the panels; applying a tape over at least one of the fasteners; placing a layer of compound over the tape; permitting the compound to cure; and leaving a portion of the tape uncovered by the compound to form a tab for gripping the tape, wherein the tab sticks out in length from the panels with the portion left uncovered until after the compound is cured. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the portion of the tape uncovered by the compound is covered by a material. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the material is a baseboard. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the material is a crown mold. 19. The method of claim 15, further comprising pulling the tab in order to substantially remove the tape. 20. The method of claim 15, further comprising disengaging the one or more fasteners from the paneling system. 21. The method of claim 15, wherein an additional support element is located distal from two or more panel edges, the additional support element secured to one of the panels by an adhesive. 22. A method of assembling a paneling system, the method comprising: fastening one or more panels on a support element with one or more mechanical fasteners, wherein the support element is located distal from two or more panel edges; applying a tape to substantially cover the one or more mechanical fasteners; placing a layer of compound over the tape; permitting the compound to cure; and leaving a portion of the tab uncovered by the compound to form a tab for gripping the tape, wherein the tab sticks out in length from the panels with the portion left uncovered until after the compound is cured. 23. A method of assembling a paneling system, the method comprising: fastening one or more panels on a support system with one or more mechanical fasteners; applying a tape to substantially cover the one or more mechanical fasteners; placing a layer of compound over the tape; permitting the compound to cure; and then removing the tape from the paneling system in a manner that sufficiently exposes the one or more mechanical fasteners. 24. The method of claim 23, wherein the support system includes a first support element located near an edge of at least one of the panels and a second support located intermediate of the edges of one of the panels. 25. The method of claim 24, wherein the one or more mechanical fasteners fasten the one or more panels to both the first support element and the second support element. 26. The method of claim 24, wherein the one or more mechanical fasteners fasten the one or more panels to the second support element.
