Wooden partition is stronger than Aluminium partition against horizontal impact.

Carpentry labour is more.
Painting or Polishing are processes used for finishing.
Both sandwich types & panelled types, are in practice

Aluminium Partition
Relatively Al partition has lesser impact strength.
Carpentry labour is less.
Anodising and powder coating are the normal finishing options.
Normally panelled types are done.
Brick partition
Disadvantage:
-During extreme weather, it may cause
degradation of the surface due to frost
damage.
-It adds a lot of weight to the
foundation. Therefore it increases the
stress of the foundation which
stronger foundation needed to support
this bricks.

When the brick show some damage it is unable to repair that part only but to
remove the entire wall section which very costly. Plus, material used are largely
related.
- Poorly made bricks such as clinkers and older recycled bricks might be pitted,
irregularly shaped, worn or prone to chipping.

In humid climates, porous brick invites mold. It suffers damage as water and ice
expand and contract in
its pores.
- Brick is not cost-effective for many
home builders.
It can be damaged by vines.

Advantages of Ferro Cement:

The advantages of a well built ferro concrete construction are the low weight, maintenance costs
and long lifetime in comparison with purely steel constructions. However, meticulous building
precision is considered crucial here.
Especially with respect to the cementitious composition and the way in which it is applied in and
on the framework, and how or if the framework has been treated to resist corrosion.
When a ferro concrete sheet is mechanically overloaded, it will tend to fold instead of break or
crumble like stone or pottery.
So it is not brittle. As a container, it may fail and leak but possibly hold together. Much depends
on techniques used in the construction.
Disadvantages of Ferro Cement:
The disadvantage of ferro concrete construction is the labor intensive nature of it, which makes it
expensive for industrial application in the western world.
In addition, threats to degredation (rust) of the steel components is a possibility if air voids are
left in the original construction, due to too dry a mixture of the concrete being applied, or not
forcing the air out of the structure while it is in its wet stage of construction, through vibration,
pressurized spraying techniques, or other means.
These air voids can turn to pools of water as the cured material absorbs moisture. If the voids
occur where there is untreated steel, the steel will rust and expand, causing the system to fail.

In modern practice, the advent of liquid acrylic additives and other advances to the grout
mixture, create slower moisture absorption over the older formulas, and also increase bonding

strength to mitigate these failures. Restoration steps should include treatment to the steel to arrest
rust, using practices for treating old steel common in auto body repair

Hollow block partition

Advantages
-It can withstand heat thus giving fire protection to the house or buildings
-It has better sound performance where it able to block the sound from outside.
-It also offers lower utility cost. Energy efficient homes its inherent mass qualities help keep a
ome cooler in
the summer and warmer in the winter.
-It reduces the nation's energy needs and produce a cleaner environment
-It offers wide range of non-fade colors.
-It does not require painting for protection from being destroyed like woods.
-It is a load bearing material which is it also help to support the building.
-It is virtually maintenance-free.
It never needs painting, caulking or staining.
disadvantages
Brick is not cost-effective for many
home builders. It can be damaged by
vines.
The disadvantage of block is not
insulated for northern climates
because the frame wall are not being
insulated. Therefore, the cold air from
the outside will transfer into the
house. Besides, block is not vulnerable
to fire, mold and termites.

Timber partition
Advantages of Timber Frame Construction
Quick erection times
It Reduced site labour
It is Recyclable
Can be built to exceed 60-year design life
Reduced construction time translates into reduced risk exposure
Disadvantage
Transportation and carriage access
Exposure to weather before enclosed
Combustibility of timber requires vigilant
Susceptibility to decay of timber when exposed to excessive moisture
