peer agreement (net): -1false wall, second wall Explanation: -- From the illustration on the first website (below) it looks like a drop ceiling (false ceiling). -- In the case of walls, I am thinking that ふかし壁 can be what is called a "false wall" or a "second wall" in English.

Usually, there is a spaghetti-like conglomeration of supply and drain pipes, wires, conduit, and receptacles in laundry rooms that builders do not cover up. But it is possible to build a second, or false, wall in front of this mess, effectively shielding it from view. This is not a real wall in the sense of being structural --- Here is a website with images for false walls: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=false wall&um=1&ie=UTF-... ----Talks about what |

| Reference: Annular space Reference information: I don't think you will find the exact English word for "ふかし壁". However, the space between the interior and exterior walls is called "Annular space". |
