Partition walls are non-load-bearing divisions used to create or modify interior spaces, including offices, classrooms, and apartments. They come in various types, such as brick, concrete, hollow, glass, and block board/plywood, each with distinct characteristics suited for different applications. These walls provide versatility in space management but vary in factors like strength, sound insulation, and cost.

2. Introduction
• A partition wall is a non-load-bearing wall
that divides any interior space.
• It includes static walls built onto the existing
framed walls in the space or moveable
features that slide on rails or roll on casters.
• They are useful for changing the layout and
functionality of a space.

5. Brick partition wall
• These kinds of walls are made by laying bricks
as stretchers in cement mortar.
• Hence the wall is usually 10 cm or 20 cm thick
and plastered considerably on the two faces.
• If properly assembled, it is considerably strong
and fire resistant.

6. Concrete partition wall
• These types of walls are cast monolithically with
all the intermediate columns in order to be rigid
and secure both along its length and height.
• These are generally 10 cm thick.
• Reinforcement may be or may not be provided
depending on the contractor.
• If provided, mild steel bars are set in the middle
of the wall thickness.
• Concrete mix generally adopted in the job is M15
(1:2:4).

7. Hollow partition wall
• Hollow blocks which are molded out of clay,
terracotta or concrete are commonly used.
• Such partitions are light, rigid, economical,
powerful and fire resistant.
• They have great sound insulating properties.
• The thickness of this sort of partition wall
varies between 6 cm to 15 cm.
• These walls are built in a similar fashion as
brick walls.

8. Glass partition
• These are being made out of sheet glass fixed in its
place with the help of steel which in turn is fixed to the
walls and the floor.
• Glass partitions are inexpensive, light, and simple in
construction and provide reasonable privacy and noise
insulation.
• The expense of maintenance of these partitions is far
more as the glass is liable to break when struck hard by
anything.
• With the introduction of reinforced glass sheets, this
threat is significantly minimized.
• Three-ply glass and armor plate glass are a few of the
varieties of sheet glass.

9. Block Board/Plywood partition
• This of partition is becoming popular nowadays
as it is lightweight, cheap, durable, and strong.
• This is not permanent in nature and need to be
replaced at time intervals.
• Blockboard is more suitable for use as a partition
wall.
• They are painted from outside to protect them
from termites.
• These are not fireproof and hence care should be
taken.
