    Here let's see three main solutions:

    ① Masonry Brick Wall

    ② Installation of ALC Panels

    ③ Light Steel Keel with Rock Wool Board

    1. Masonry Brick Wall

    Brick walls have excellent fire resistance, and masonry brick wall solutions are often favored by construction professionals. However, there are several issues associated with brick masonry:

  • The construction workload of brick walls is large, and labor costs are expensive.

  • Firewalls are often relatively high, and ensuring the stability of the brick wall can be a challenge.

  • Setting aside the cost for now, technically, it is possible to set a strip foundation or local hardening at the bottom of the wall. Most importantly, it is essential to plan for structural columns and ring beams to ensure the stability of the brick wall as a core element.

    2. ALC Panel Wall

    ALC panels, also known as autoclaved aerated concrete panels, are lightweight, thermal-insulating, and fire-resistant new wall materials. ALC panels are ready-made panels that are installed using fixed connectors, making installation convenient and popular with construction teams. However, the height to which ALC panels can remain stable is limited. If the wall is tall, horizontal and vertical steel frame constraints will still be necessary.

    3. Light Steel Keel Rock Wool Panel Wall

    A light steel keel rock wool panel wall is essentially a structure where rock wool boards are embedded within a light steel keel frame. Rock wool panels have good fire-resistant properties. However, when the wall is very high, special attention must be given to the design of the keel.

    4. Summary

    Each of these methods has its pros and cons, and they can be summarized as follows:

    ①For walls that are not too high (e.g., up to 3 meters), ALC panel walls are recommended as the preferred option.

    ② For very high walls (e.g., over 6 meters), masonry brick walls are recommended, with additional attention to the setting of structural columns and ring beams.
