Clay block partitions
Hollow clay blocks were also popular for non-loadbearing partitions 50 or so years ago and, although still available, they have been superseded by the modern systems mentioned below. The blocks were originally available in a range of sizes and had grooved sides to give a good key for the plaster. They are light in weight and provide excellent fire resistance. However, the blocks are difficult to cut as they shatter easily and attaching fixings for shelving, etc. can prove difficult.
