A timber partition is a non-load-bearing wall made from a timber frame, including vertical studs and horizontal plates, used to divide interior spaces. They are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to create rooms or segment open spaces.

Timber partitions do not support structural weight; their primary role is functional division while maintaining architectural integrity. The construction involves regularly spaced timber studs, sill plates at the base for stability, and head plates at the top for connection.

Typically, plasterboard covers both sides of the frame, enhancing appearance and providing a paintable surface. Compared to masonry or concrete walls, timber partitions are cost-effective and offer flexibility and adjustability.

These partitions can meet fire safety and sound insulation standards using fire-resistant plasterboard and soundproofing materials. Modern practices allow prefabrication off-site for efficient installation, reducing on-site labour and waste.

Applications include creating private bedrooms, bathrooms, office meeting rooms, collaborative work areas, and retail spaces. They are also useful in refurbishment projects for reconfiguring existing spaces.
