7. 3.TIMBER PARTITION WALL
• . Better appearance.
• It is an elastic material.
• Light in weight and greater strength.
• Resistant to cracking and warping.

8. 5.HOLLOW BLOCK AND CLAY BLOCK PARTITION
• These are built of individual units of concrete.
• Clay blocks are used well prepared from clay or
terracotta.

10.  Plain brick partition of half brick thickness is restrict
to 2m height during construction in a day
 The cement mortar used in brick partition wall of
proportion 1:3
7.BRICK PARTITION WALL
