Where the floor construction is strong enough to sup-port the load, four inches of brick can be used instead ofthe tile. In Figures 105 and 106 is illustrated a partition oftenused in wholesale markets where wood construction is used. This partition is easily put up and practically as effi-cient as if made of four inches of sohd cork. It can be used 180 INSULATION to advantage where the partition is required to supportthe load from the ceiUng construction above. The 2x4-inch studding is put up on an 18-inch centreand toe-nailed at the top and bottom to a 2x4-inch plate 2x4;j,TUD:i2-o-A,PMrr.

The studs are covered on the outside with water-proof paper and %-inch dressed and matched boards. INSULATION 181 The cold storage side is insulated with 2-inch corkboard nailed with galvanized wire nails and the space be-tween the studs is filled with granulated cork. The finish on the cork board should be of plaster orglazed tile, if the floor of the building is rigid enough toprevent cracking of the finish, due to vibration undertrucking or moving loads. Where partitions of this type are built one above theother, from the basement and up to the first and secondfloors, the studding should be continuous and not supportedon the wooden joists at each floor level. When built in this manner, the partition will not sagwith the floor or pull away from the ceiling level, which isa common occurrence where the
