A wall or lining structure for shafts, ducts or barriers comprises panel members (11) supported by studs (10) having spaced parallel flanges (13,15). The panels are held against the inner surface of at least one flange by an independent spacer member (14) having different cross-sectional dimensions in different directions. Different numbers of thicknesses of the panel members can be accommodated between the flanges of identical studs by varying the orientation of identical spacer members relative to the studs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A wall or lining structural unit comprising: a support member having a web portion joining at least two parallel flange elements projecting laterally from and perpendicular to said web portion, so as to present at least a pair of opposing, mutually facing inner surfaces of said flange elements at a predetermined distance from one another; at least one panel member of a predetermined thickness juxtapositioned to said support member; and at least one independent spacer member associated with said support member, inserted between said at least one panel member and at least one of said inner surfaces of said flange elements of said support member, said at least one independent spacer member having a cross-sectional profile with sides having first and second external dimensions of different magnitudes, said first dimension or length being equal to said predetermined distance between said at least two parallel flange elements of said support member minus said predetermined thickness of one of said panel members and said second dimension or width being equal to said predetermined distance between said at least two parallel flange elements of said support member minus at least two thicknesses of said predetermined thickness of one of said panel members such that different numbers of said panel members can be accommodated between said inner surfaces of said flanges of said support member by varying the orientation of said at least one spacer member relative to said web portion of said support member, said at least one panel member being positioned between at least one of said inner surfaces of said flange elements of said support member, said web portion of said support member and said at least one independent spacer member.
2.
A wall structure according to claim 1, in which said web portion of said support member comprises two parallel longitudinal edges extending lengthwise thereto, each longitudinal edge having a primary flange element projecting therefrom perpendicular to said web portion and therefore inherently parallel to each other and at least one secondary flange element between said primary flange elements
