This document discusses different types of partition walls, including brick partition walls. There are three main types of brick partition walls: plain brick, reinforced brick, and brick nogging. Plain brick walls are half brick thick laid in stretcher bond and plastered on both sides. Reinforced brick walls include iron or steel reinforcement every third or fourth course to increase strength. Brick nogging walls have a timber framework with half bricks fitted between. The document provides details on the construction process and advantages and disadvantages of each type of brick partition wall. It also briefly discusses other wall finishes and materials like wood panelling, cement plaster, laminate, and tile cladding.

2. • A wall or division made up of bricks, studding, glass or other such material
and provided for the purpose of dividing one room or portion of a room
from another.
• Designed as non-load bearing walls. It may be of folding, collapsible or
fixed type.
• Employed to provide privacy from consideration of sight or sound or both.
• A good partition wall should be cheap, light, thin, fire-resistant and easy in
construction.
• If partition walls are load bearing then they are called as ‘internal wall’.

3. BRICK PARTITION WALL
• As the name suggests, this kind of partition wall is made up of
bricks.
• There are three types-
• Plain Brick Partition Wall
• Reinforced Brick Partition Wall
• Brick Nogging Partition Wall

4. PLAIN BRICK PARITION WALL
• Half brick thick
• Stretcher bond
• Wall plastered on both sides
• Strong and fire resistant

5. CONSTRUCTION
Step 1 :
Arrangement
Step 2 :
Mixing of the mortar

6. Step 3 :
Laying the bricks
Step 4 :
Selecting the joints

7. Step 5 :
Coping stones/bedding brick
Step 6 :
Finishing the beds

8. ADVANTAGES
• Economical (Raw material is easily available)
• Hard and durable
• Compressive strength is good enough for ordinary construction
• Different orientations and sizes give different surface textures
• Very low maintenance cost is required
• Demolishing of brick structures is very easy, less time consuming and
hence economic
• Reusable and Recyclable
• Highly fire resistant
• Produces less environmental pollution during manufacturing process

9. DISADVANTAGES
• Time consuming construction
• Cannot be used in high seismic zones
• Since bricks absorb water easily, therefore, it causes fluorescence
when not exposed to air
• Rough surfaces of bricks may cause mould growth if not properly
cleaned
• Cleaning of brick surfaces is a hard job
• Colour of low quality brick changes when exposed to sun for a long
period of time

10. REINFORCED BRICK PARTITION WALLS
• At every third or fourth course, the bricks
are reinforced with iron straps 25 mm-28
mm wide and 16 mm thick.
• Mild steel bars of 6 mm diameter can also
be used in case of iron straps.
• The thickness of wall is kept equal to half-
brick.
• Can be of full floor height or restricted to
2000-2500 mm

11. FEATURES
• Reinforced brick masonry does not require shuttering and concrete
• Large cost saving compared with that of reinforced concrete.
• Cool rooms.
• Fireproof work.
• The tools and implements used are simple and low-tech.
• Weather protection.

12. BRICK NOGGING PARTITION WALL
• Consist of a framework of timber within which 1/2
brick partition are fitted.
• Framework of timber consists of head, sill, vertical
members (studs), horizontal members (noggings),
crossed braces and puncheons (studs over door frame).
• Studs (100x50 mm), head and sill (100x75 mm)
• The studs are placed at a distance of 3 to 4 times of
brick length.
• The nogging pieces are placed at a vertical distance of
about 600-900 mm.
• The crossed braces are provided at intersections.

13. • The brickwork should be
carried out in cement
mortar of 1:3.
• To provide better stability a
slight projection (50x25 mm)
in the wooden studs and a
corresponding groove in the
adjoining bricks are
provided.

14. • This type of partition wall suffers from the drawback of the timber getting
delayed. Moreover, the mortar used may not stick well to the timber
members and thus the brickwork is likely to become loose after sometime.
• More durable and possesses strength than the other twos
• Can be of full floor height or can be restricted to 2000-2500 mm
• Serves as an efficient barrier

15. Types of wall finishes and materials
• Wood panelling
It is a decorative treatment done with
wooden panels on the walls in various
designs.
The material used can be plywood or
wood covered with veneer or laminate.
• Cement plastered finish
It is prepared in the form of mortar with
cement, sand and water in proper
proportions and applied on masonry
manually to achieve a smooth finish or
sand faced finish.

16. • Laminate finish
Laminate comes in various colours
and designs. It comes in the form of
sheet and is pasted with fevicol on
Plywood.
• Tile cladding
Different tiles, for example, granite,
marble, glazed tiles or vitrified tiles
are used for tile cladding. Tiles are
available in a variety of colours and
shapes. The selection of tiles
depends on the place where it is to
be applied i.e. interior facade or
exterior facade.

17. Sand textured finish
Sand Textured finish is used to give fine
texture to the wall. This wall finish is not
very commonly used because of its
grains coming out.
POP finish
Plaster of Paris or simply plaster is a
type of building material based on
calcium sulphate hemihydrates. This is a
smooth finish achieved by plaster of
Paris generally applied on internal walls.
