Leveling assembly

A leveling assembly for leveling a bottom edge of an interior wall panel, the interior wall panel configured for installation on a floor, the leveling assembly comprising:

• an elongate floor channel configured to be operatively secured to the floor, the floor channel having a bottom surface;
• a floor rail configured to be at least partially disposed within the floor channel, the floor rail having a generally horizontal portion and a pair of spaced apart rail walls extending upwardly from the horizontal portion, wherein a plurality of apertures are defined along the horizontal portion, the floor rail configured to operatively support the bottom edge of the interior wall panel;
• and
• at least one leveler configured to be at least partially located in the floor channel, the leveler comprising:
• a head;
• an adjustment rod projecting from the head, the adjustment rod having a threaded portion, wherein the head is configured for removable coupling to the floor channel, wherein, when the head is coupled to the floor channel, the head is substantially prevented from vertical movement relative to the floor channel;
• and
• a rail support having a collar and a support shoulder extending outwardly from the collar, the collar having an interior threaded surface configured to engage the threaded portion of the adjustment rod, wherein the collar is configured to pass through one of the plurality of apertures in the horizontal portion, wherein the support shoulder is configured to abut against a lower surface of the horizontal portion to support the floor rail,
• wherein rotation of the adjustment rod is configured to vary a vertical distance between the horizontal portion of the floor rail and the bottom surface of the floor channel,
• wherein a pair of spaced apart, elongate, substantially parallel protrusions extend upwardly from the bottom surface of the floor channel, wherein each protrusion comprises a longer portion and a shorter portion, wherein outer portions of the head are received between the shorter portion and the longer portion of each protrusion.
