COMPOUND WALL IN HOUSING

 A compound wall serves to delimit your home or building, ensures

privacy and protection. Thus the primary purpose of a wall is security.

 It prevents trespassers from moving into your property and restricts

entry into your personal space.
 Compound walls allow private properties to veil themselves from
the road, in terms of visibility, dust and noise pollution.

 Moreover, it is important to shield the ground floor of a house from

the street and therefore the front fence should be of a height that
fulfills this purpose.

1. Masonry compound wall

 Masonry walls are typically constructed using laterite stones,

red clay bricks or fly ash bricks, steel, and cement mortar.

2. Ornamental compound wall

 Ornamental Compound wall is a combination of masonry wall and

mild steel/stainless steel grills.

 In this type of wall, up to 3-5ft masonry wall is constructed.

 We can then apply cement plaster and paint over it.

 Above this masonry wall, we can fix mild steel grills or stainless steel
grills as per the decoration and security requirements.
3. Cladding compound wall

 Cladding compound walls use cladding materials such

as vitreous tiles, marbles or shera panels. We can fix these
over typical masonry walls to give them an aesthetic appeal.

 A cladding wall is generally impervious to changing weather

conditions.
4. Precast compound wall

 Precast walls are usually made of steel and concrete.

 We can make them in a factory and then transport to the
site.
 Precast walls are used in various places as their
installation is quick and easy.
 In addition, we can complete the whole process of
installation in a short span of time.
 Therefore, we need to ensure to provide proper
foundation to the structure and the walls.
