What is NOT a use of partition walls?

Partition walls are specifically designed as non-load-bearing walls used primarily to separate spaces within a building. They serve various functional purposes, such as dividing rooms to create different spaces, enhancing privacy, and organizing areas in ways that support specific uses of a building.

Supporting the roof is a characteristic generally associated with load-bearing walls. Unlike load-bearing walls, which are integral to the structural integrity of a building and responsible for supporting the weight of the roof and upper levels, partition walls are not designed to bear significant loads. Their primary function is to manage space and provide separation, making them unsuitable for structural support. Thus, the identification of partition walls as not being used for roof support highlights their intended architectural role within a building's design.
