Naturally, the whole structure of the house stands on the bearing walls. They provide the strength of the construction itself and bear the entire main load of the house, up to the roof. Not the main, or non -carrying walls are important in organizing the internal space.
In order to evaluate the external component of the house, it is enough to inspect its facade. The same role in the assessment of the internal situation is played by non -carrier walls. They allow you to allocate individual rooms from the total area of the room. Since there are many options for separation of rooms using non -main walls, there are also different types of such walls.
Here is something important about the supporting internal walls. During their construction, exactly the same materials are used as in the construction of external walls. In this case, their support falls on the same foundation. This is due to ensure the uniform strength of the construction, while the use of different materials is excluded in the construction of all types of supporting walls. But related materials can be used. That is, there can not be a brick building of internal load -bearing walls from a cinder block. Also, the thickness of such walls is an important nuance. It should be approximately equal, and depend on the number of floors in the structure. This means that a ten -story building cannot have the thickness of the carrier wall in a row of brick.
Non -carrying walls in the building are sometimes called partitions. The construction of such structures is not limited to such rigid requirements. This is not difficult to understand, because they do not have the entire load, and they are not exposed to a strong effect of atmospheric phenomena. They are not exposed to such a strong influence of moisture and at the same time do not require excesses for insulation. This affects their strength — they are much fragile than the main walls.
But at the same time, certain requirements are put forward to such walls. Among them are certain strength, for the possibility of installing attachments on such walls and sound insulation. Such walls should be installed before the floors are fixed. In those places where non -carrier walls made of light -combat materials lean against stoves, or chimney, special isolation should be installed. Materials for the construction of such walls can serve as wooden bars, bricks and concrete slabs. In principle, these are the same materials from which the supporting walls are built. Only for non -carrying can you use the gipper, which is not suitable for the main.
