To produce the wall (1), gypsum panels (2) are mounted adjacent to each other on a frame (4). Instead of forming a strip made of flat gypsum panels against the frame on site, use is made of two-dimensionally shaped profile strips (3) which are made of plastic foam. In contrast to conventional finishing strips, these profile strips (3) are mounted not on the gypsum panels (2) but on the frame (4), in particular with one edge adjacent to one edge of the gypsum panels. A first part (9) of the visible side of the profile strip (3) here lies in the extension of the surface formed by the gypsum panel (2) while a second part (10) of the visible side of the profile strip (3) protrudes from this surface. The profile strip (3) is chamfered at the edge adjacent to the gypsum panel (2) to form a chamfered edge zone (8). With the profile strip in mounted state, this chamfered edge zone forms a groove (11) that is filled with caulking agent (12). The new method allows, on production of a wall with gypsum panels, the integration of a strip in the gypsum panels in a simpler and less time-consuming manner.
