False Wall/Thin Stud

bigneacy

I'm looking for the most cost effective way to cover over a small section of a shop unit. It doesn't need to support any weight or have a proper door.

The idea is to section off an awkward bit of wall, resulting in one straight smooth run and also to create a window display out of previously wasted space. I would like an access hatch (for cleaning, changing signs etc.) built in also, i imagine this to just be a case of cutting out a small section and putting it on hinges.

I seen a very thin wall used in a furniture showroom, it was less than an inch thick and didn't seem to be supported by wooden joists or the like, and was finished properly perhaps with plaster and paint - to give the look of small showrooms. This would be ideal.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what might be useful in this case?

Depending on the size of the wall, MDF might do, it's easily painted and a hatch could be easily cut out of it.
