Sisäseinämää

Sisäseinämää refers to an interior wall within a building. These walls serve various purposes, primarily to divide spaces and create separate rooms or functional areas. Unlike exterior walls, which bear structural loads and provide insulation and weather protection, interior walls are generally non-load-bearing, meaning they do not support the weight of the building's structure above them. Their construction can vary widely depending on the desired function, aesthetics, and budget.

Common materials used for interior walls include wood studs covered with drywall (gypsum board), plaster, or even brick and concrete block in some cases. The specific construction method affects sound insulation, fire resistance, and the ease with which utilities like electrical wiring and plumbing can be run through them. Interior walls are essential for defining the layout of a home or building, providing privacy, and contributing to the overall ambiance and usability of a space. They can also incorporate features such as doorways, windows, and built-in shelving. The term "sisäseinämää" is Finnish for "interior wall."
