How to Build a Non-Combustible Wall

- Non-combustible materials such as concrete blocks, bricks, or metal framing

- Mortar or concrete mix

- Rebar or metal mesh (for reinforcement)

- Insulation (optional)

- Drywall or other wall covering (optional)

Step 2: Choose a location

The wall should be built on a solid foundation, such as a concrete slab or footing. The location should also be away from any sources of ignition, such as trees or power lines.

Step 3: Build the foundation

If the wall is not being built on a concrete slab, a foundation will need to be built. This can be done by digging a trench and pouring concrete into it. The foundation should be at least 12 inches deep and 8 inches wide.

Step 4: Build the wall

Once the foundation is dry, the wall can be built. If using concrete blocks or bricks, they can be stacked and mortared together. If using metal framing, the studs can be attached to the foundation and then covered with drywall or another wall covering.

Step 5: Reinforce the wall

To make the wall more resistant to fire, it can be reinforced with rebar or metal mesh. The rebar or mesh should be placed in between the blocks or bricks, or attached to the metal studs.

Step 6: Insulate the wall (optional)

If desired, the wall can be insulated to improve its energy efficiency. Insulation can be placed in between the blocks or bricks, or between the metal studs.

Step 7: Finish the wall

Once the wall is built, it can be finished with a variety of materials, such as paint, wallpaper, or tile.

Note: Building a non-combustible wall is a complex task and should be performed by a qualified contractor.
