Partition wall

Partition wall

The interior walls of a building are usually defined as walls that, unlike envelope walls, separate interior rooms. There are two types of interior walls: load-bearing walls and non-load-bearing walls.

Load-bearing walls

A wall that supports any vertical load or carries its own weight is called a load-bearing wall. A load-bearing wall is used in any building or house. In order to make a building or a house structurally sound and strong, a load-bearing wall is used to help support vertical loads. A load-bearing wall is a wall which can be traditionally made of bricks, construction blocks or concrete and who possess good fire resistance and sound insulation properties.

One negative aspect of the load-bearing wall is inflexible arrangement of interior rooms. The walls of the lower floors support the roof and the upper floors. These load-bearing walls carry the weight of the floor slabs of the upper floors and transfer it down to the foundation. To ensure the safety of the entire house, these walls must be carefully arranged under the beams of the floor slab of the upper floor.

Non-load-bearing walls

Metal stud partition walls are non-load-bearing interior partitions suitable for use in all types of residential, commercial and retail properties. They cover all applications ranging from simple space division through to high performance walls designed to meet strict fire resistance, sound insulation and height requirements. These versatile systems offer a fast and cost-efficient solution for interior space division in existing or new buildings.

Steel partitions can add to the overall aesthetical appeal of the workplace and, if necessary, they can be modified in order to block out surrounding sounds so that noisy operations are separated from quieter areas. This will not only enhance employees’ productivity but also enable employers to comply with the control of noise at work regulations adopted by the government and to create a safe and comfortable environment for their employees.

Steel partitions are extremely strong and fully comply with the requirements of industrial work settings. Unlike other types of materials used for this purpose, they do not disintegrate and require minimum level of maintenance. Due to their hygienic properties they can be used in specialist settings, e. g. food or drug production facilities.
