WALL TYPE
IDENTIFICATION

1
Walls versus Partitions

• Walls
– A general term for a vertical building
component used to support loads and divide
up living spaces
– Also a term used exclusively to describe
exterior vertical surfaces
• Partitions
– Interior walls

2
Types of Walls

• Partitions and walls may each be load-


bearing (LB) or non-load-bearing (NLB).

• With these combinations, there are four


possible types of walls and partitions.

Types of Walls

1• LBW – Load-Bearing Wall

2• NLBW – Non-Load-Bearing Wall

3• LBP – Load-Bearing Partition

4• NLBP – Non-Load-Bearing Partition

Conclusions

• Walls are exterior, partitions are interior.


• Each may be load-bearing or non-load-bearing.
• Layout of centerlines and OC studs varies.
