quick paneling
Hello everyone,
I have a wall that is 12' by 5' high that is made of 2 by 4 studs. What is the quickest way to finish this wall. I am thinking just white paneling with a type of corner molding for the sides. Everything would be prefinished.
Thanks

What's the reasoning for the quickest way? I finish my walls with drywall, so I'm trying to figure out why that may not be an option for you.

I see. It is a wall that separates countertops on both sides; so that a person or people can work on both sides. The wall might be moved latter as well. Not sure were it will end up in the future. I essentially plan on attaching it to the cabinetry so that the whole thing, cabinetry and wall, can move were we want it. It is a half wall then. I hope I did a good job explaining to you.
Thanks
Thanks

Mark, the OP says the wall has 2x4 studs.
Use paneling as you planned. Install vertically so the paneling edges will meet on a stud. You will waste 3 feet of each of the three 8 foot panels.

What you have is called a pony wall.
Pony walls and Peninsula Cabinet backs are very often finished just the way you plan.
Add covering to the backs, finish the corners with 3/4" or 1" corner molding and finish the bottom edges with 3/4" corner round.
You also might need what is called Batten Molding to cover the middle panel seams.
