Precast Concrete Wall: Precast concrete walls are constructed by casting concrete in a reusable wall mold or form which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place. The main function of the precast walls is to speed up the construction process. Retaining Wall retaining wall planter - AB Europa Collection A retaining wall is a structure that holds or retains soil behind it. There are many types of materials that can be used to create retaining walls like concrete blocks, poured concrete, treated timbers, rocks or boulders.

Engineering Brick Wall: Engineering bricks are a type of brick used where strength, low water porosity or acid (flue gas) resistance are needed. Engineering bricks can be used for damp-proof courses. Stone wall: Stone walls are a kind of masonry construction that has been used for thousands of years. The first stone walls were constructed by farmers and primitive people by piling loose field stones into a dry stone wall. Later, mortar and plaster were used, especially in the construction of city walls, castles, and other fortifications before and during the Middle Ages.

These walls are just used as partition walls or to separate rooms from outside. It is known as interior wall (doesn’t carry other load than its own load. Cavity Walls It is a wall constructed in 2 leaves / skins with a space / cavity between them. A type of building wall construction consisting of an outer wall fastened to inner wall separated by an air space. Cavity walls helps to prevent the penetration of rain to the internal surface of the wall. Shear Wall Shear walls are a framed wall designed to resist lateral forces. It is a vertical elements of the horizontal force resisting system. It is used to resist wind and earthquake loading on a building. It is typically a wood frame stud walls covered with a structural sheathing material like plywood. Partition Wall Partition wall is an interior non-load bearing wall to divide the larger space into smaller spaces. The heights of a partition wall depends on the use which may be one storey or part of one storey. These walls are made up of glass, fiber boards or brick masonry. Panel Wall Panel wall is generally made of wood and is an exterior non-load bearing wall in framed construction. It is used for aesthetics of the buildings both inside and outside. It remains totally supported at each storey but subjected to lateral loads. Veneered Walls Masonry veneer walls is a single non-structural external masonry wall made of brick, stone or manufactured stone. It has an air space behind and is called as anchored veneer. Faced Wall Faced walls has the facing and backing of two different materials are bonded together to ensure common action under load.
