According to old habits, people often referred to as non-loadbearing interior walls, but not the top of the wall called off. From the current situation, this call is unscientific. This is because, cut off the word, meaning quite wide, both less than a top interior partitions, including some top interior space dividers, partitions and similarities between both compartments Mindanao, there are different points to top or not less than the difference between the top of their nature.
First, from a functional point of view, their main role is to separate the indoor air wait. Some indoor furniture, equipment, sculptures, pools, plants, and sometimes can also play a role in the partition of space, but since this is after all not their primary role, therefore, are not included in the scope of this study.
Second, from a structural point of view, light and cut off all non-load-bearing walls, not only that, but also put their weight is applied to the floor or on the ground. Thus, while the load-bearing interior walls are separated from the role of interior space, not included in the scope of this study. Third, from the perspective of construction, lightweight partition and partition belong to renovation works, that is to say, although they are not the main project, but still part of the entire building project. Although he is used to separate the interior space, but the object is not ultimately the construction of users in the use of the building process, some of the curtain may temporarily hang or frame some of the partitions and so on, these curtains and partitions and so, therefore, not as a present contents of the book.
The difference between light and partition walls, mainly on their extent and characteristics of separate space. In general, the top of the wall is. Therefore, it is not only limited to a large extent on the space, but also to some extent to meet the noise, block line of sight requirements. Compared with the wall, the degree of the confined space of relatively small cut off or more flexible. Some rm off all large glass mosaic, although to do the top, but the sound and the ability to block the line of sight is poor; some partition (such as push-pull and analyze overlapping) although it did top, and has a certain sound when you close the capacity and block line of sight the ability, but we can always open, so that adjacent spaces separated by communicating together, as air permeability style off and screened off, etc., in separate space compared with the wall, it is more flexible, therefore, are not a "wall" to name.
