PARTITIONS
A partition may be defined as a division or wall provided for the purpose of dividing one room or
portion of a room. Generally partitions are designed to carry their own weight only. But sometime
they act as a support for floor joist and roof truss, etc. In the latter the partitions are known as load
bearing partitions and they should be designed to carry the load coming upon them. They may be
taken up to full floor height or up to eye level i.e. 2 to 2.50. Generally the partition consists of a
structural frame with an in filler which may be glass, plywood etc. But frameless partitions are also
available.
REQUIREMENTS OF A GOOD PARTITION:
I. It should be strong enough to carry its own weight.
II. It should be capable of resisting impact developed due to use of building.
III. It should act as a sound barrier especially when it divides a room into two units.IV. It should have the capacity to support suitable decorative surface.
V. It should possess enough strength to support some wall fixture, sinks, wash basins etc.
TYPES OF PARTITIONS:

AREOCON PANELS
Aerocon is a sandwich panel of two fiber-reinforced cement
sheets enclosing a light-weight core composed of Portland
cement, binders and a mix of silicaceous and micaceous
material aggregate. It has the unique Tongue and groove
system which facilitates rapid construction with minimum effort. Aerocon sandwich panels are an
excellent substitute for plaster-board, plywood, particleboard and brickwall partitions as they
combine all the desirable attributes for partitions. They score over conventional alternatives by
virtue of their fire-and moisture-resistance properties and sheer strength to take workaday

knocks in their stride. Because they are amenable to rapid installation there is no disruption of
work and / or business.
A Complete Solutions System: Aerocon Sandwich panels
are more than just plain sheets. They are offered as a total
system with a tongue and groove joining system along with
accessories like pre-designed steel channels. These panelsslide in and rest snugly at the base, and you have a ready-
made system for easy and rapid assembly.
All the Strength for all the Toughness: Aerocon panels are
strong enough to withstand the rough and tumble of
everyday life. Mainly because of their high strength-to-
weight ratio, they are capable of taking normal to hard
knocks and pressure in their stride.
Moisture Resistance: Aerocon panels resist moisture from seeping in either from the atmosphere or
even from accidental spills. They are also dimensionally stable and warp-free, a definite plus for
longevity.
Fire-Resistance: Aerocon panels are non-combustible. These have been tested at CBRI Roorkee for
their fire resistance property as per BS476 and found to be fire rated for 1 hr. For 50mm and 2 hrs.
For 75mm thickness panels. What's more, no toxic fumes are emitted in case of fire, making them
very safe and ideal for use in sensitive areas.
Resistence to Termites & Rodents: Aerocon panels are not susceptible to attack by termites or
rodents. Aerocon partitions, therefore, stay clean and intact for a long, long time.
Thermal Insulation: Aerocon panels impart good thermal insulation and hence are most suitable in
tropical weather conditions. This helps in saving on air conditioning and energy costs.
Acoustic Insulation: Aerocon panels offer excellent insulation
against sound and noise. STC rating of 33-36 db makes them
most suitable for
hospitals/nursing homes, libraries, schools and offices where
the need for peace and quiet is paramount.
Ease of Installation: Aerocon tongue & groove joining system
allows faster construction. Aerocon panels can be easilyworked with conventional carpenter's tools and is, therefore,
easy to install. They are easily transportable because of their
light-weight and aids speedy installation.Conference Room in a Corporate
Office
Excellent Surface finish: The smooth surface of Aerocon panels allows them to take a range of
surface finishes like paint, wall-papering and other decorative treatments as desired.
