They takeup less room thanr any other type of construction and aremore nearly fireproof than partitions erected with woodstudding. The metal lath may be omitted to reduce thecost of construction, but should be used in all first-classwork. 176 INSULATION In Figure 102 is illustrated a solid cork partition usedbetween the freezer and the cold storage rooms. This partition is continuous from one end of the roomto the other and is continued up through the floor from thestory below.
