Interior Walls and Partitions



Interior Walls and Partitions, speaks to types of interior walls and partitions, why interior walls and partitions.

Behind their simple surfaces lie assemblies of materials carefully chosen and combined to meet specific performance requirements relating to structural strength, fire resistance, durability and acoustical isolation.

A partition may be framed with steel or wood studs and faced with plaster or gypsum board. Alternatively, masons may construct it of concrete blocks or structural clay tiles. For improved appearance or durability, a partition may be faced with ceramic tiles, masonry veneer, wood paneling, or any long list of other finish materials to tailor it to the requirements of a specific application.
