false walls
Concealed room dividers
False walls are partitions built in front of or parallel to existing walls, creating hidden space between them.
They serve practical purposes—concealing pipes, wiring, or insulation—but also hide rooms, safes, or contraband: Police discovered a cache of weapons behind a false wall in the basement.
In theater and film, false walls are temporary set pieces that suggest solid architecture.
