    There are four types of walls and partitions: 1) Load-bearing walls (LBW) which support loads and divide exterior spaces 2) Non-load-bearing walls (NLBW) which are exterior but do not support loads 3) Load-bearing partitions (LBP) which are interior and can support loads 4) Non-load-bearing partitions (NLBP) which are interior and do not support loads

    Partitions

    Types of Walls

    Partitions and walls may each be load-


    bearing (LB) or non-load-bearing (NLB).

    With these combinations, there are four


    possible types of walls and partitions.
