Timber Partitions

Timber partitions consist of wooden frame work, properly supported on floor and fixed to the side walls. This frame work made of horizontal and vertical members, can either be plastered or covered with boarding etc from both the sides. Wooden partitions are light weight, but are costlier. It is likely to decay or eaten away by termites. Also it is not fire resistant. Its use is reducing day by day.
