ROME
15TH CENTURY
 P A RT I T I O N S

Partition wall may be defined as a wall or division made up of bricks, studding, glass
or
other material to provide division of a space or room from another.
They are non load bearing walls, and maybe either folding, collapsible or fixed type.

BRICK NOGGING PARTITION WALL

PLAIN BRICK PARTITION WALL

• Constructed from plain bricks

• Common and Cost effective
• Bricks are laid in stretcher bond.
• Thickness of plain brick partition wall is 10 cm or half brick.
• Recommended height is max. 2m for construction in a day.
• Plastered on both sides.

Avg Cost @ Rs 5000/cu.mtr without finish

REINFORCED BRICK PARTITION WALL

• Similar to plain brick partition but much stronger due to the reinforcements.
• Reinforcements,which is in from of wire meshstrips or iron bare, are placed at every 3rd-4th course.
• Reinforced wire strip width ranges from 25mm to 28mm and thickness is 1.6mm.
• Steel bar diameter is 6mm
• The thicknessof the wall equal to 10cm or half a brick
• This type of partition wall used when better longitudinal bond is needed and when the partition wall has to
support other super imposed loads. Avg Cost @ Rs 7000/cu.mtr without finish
BRICK NOGGING PARTITION WALL
• Brickwork built within a wooden framework.
• The timber framework consists of studs, nogging, sill, & head.
• Studs spaced at 60-150 cm held by nogging pieces.
• The nogging pieces are placed 60-90cm apart vertically.
• The wooden framework provide stability to the partition
against vibrations caused due to opening the adjoining door
and windows
• The bricks are commonly laid flat or on edge.
• The brickwork is plastered from both sides.
• The size of studs & nogging depends upon the thickness of
partition wall.
• For 10cm thick partition wall, the studs and nogging should
be 15 cm wide so that after the brickwork is plastered from
both the faces, the timber framework may finish flush with
the wall face.
Cost depends on the nature of materials used.
 HOLLOW& • The blocks are made up from clay or terracotta.
CLAYBLOCK • Blocks may hollow or solid.
2-3 • The blocks are placed in mortar.
• Hollow clay bricks are commonly employed for light partition wall.
APPLICATION • Hollow brick partition walls are rigid, economical,strong,fire resistant,
100% natural, and good heat sound insulator.
green & Long
lasting in nature • The sizes of the hollow blocks differ with the texture of the material.
• The thickness of this type of partition wall varies between 6 cm to 15 cm.
• Hollow brick partitions walls are constructed in similar manner as structural
load bearing walls.
• Grooves are provided on top, bottom, and sides of block to improve the
bond between the block and plaster.

Min Cost @ Rs 25/piece

PRECAST CONCRETE BLOCKS

CAST IN SITU CONCRETE BLOCKS PARTITION WALL
• Thickness ranges from 80mm to 100mm
• It is poured monolithically with intermediate columns
• It is rigid and stable both in vertical and horizontal directions but the framework is costly.
• The reinforcement consisting of mild steel bars or BRC fabric is placed in the center of the
wall thickness.
 PRECAST CONCRETE BLOCKS PARTITION WALL
• Precast concrete slab partitions wall
• the wall is built from precast concrete slab units
• precast unit thickness ranges from 25mm to 40mm
• precast units are secured to precast posts
• joints shall be filled with mortar
• Concrete mix is M15 (1:2:4).

Min Cost @ Rs 30-35/piece

 They are cheap, light, and easy in construction and provide
GLASS
reasonable privacy and sound insulation. such walls are constructed
5 from glass sheet or hollow glass blocks.

APPLICATION GLASS SHEETS

Used in semi
private areas and
offices.

GLASS BLOCKS
GLASS SHEET PARTITION WALL Min Cost @ Rs 55/sqft

• Constructedby fixing sheet of glass in a framework using

beadings or by putty.
• The frameworkconsistsof horizontal and vertical posts, suitably
spaced, to divide the entire area into a number of panels.
• Panelsmight be rectangular or square and size varies with the
choice of individual.
• Light, vermin proof, damp proof, and sound proof.
• Wired glass, bullet proof glass, and three-ply glass are examples
GLASS BLOCK PARTITION WALL

• It is constructed from hollow translucent glass blocks.

• Light weight and available in various thickness, shapes, and sizes.
• Most widely used sizes -14cmX14cm, 19X19cm and10cm thick.
• The jointing edges are painted internally and sanded externally
to help the bond between mortar and glass block.
• The front and back sides are either decorated or left plain.
• Block glass is laid in cement- lime mortar- fine sand (1:1:4)
• Metal strip reinforcement is placed at every third or fourth course
for block height up to 15th block.

stain resistant.
• 2. Hassle-Free Maintenance: Just wipe ACP sheet with a cloth
to remove the dirt and dust.
• 3. Safe to use: Since aluminum does not burn, Aluminum
Composite Panel offer a fireproof option.
• 4. Cost effective: One of the most budget-friendly materials
available in the market.
• 5. Easy Installation: The installation of ACP cladding sheet is
easy. Min Cost @ Rs 55/sqft
FIBRE CEMENT CLADDING
• Fiber cement is a building material used to cover the exterior of a building in both
commercial and domestic applications.
• It is made of cement reinforced with cellulose fibers.

Cost @ Rs 300-400 / 8’x4’ board.

 CURTAIN WALL CLADDING
• These are non-structural cladding systems for the external
walls.
• They are generally associated with large, multi-storey
buildings.
• It consists of a lightweight aluminium frame onto which
glazed or opaque infill panels can be fixed. These infill
panels are often described as 'glazing' whether or not
they are made of glass.
• Emerged in1930's when aluminium was made available as
a construction material for the first time.
