divider wall

Interior space barrier

A divider wall is a wall that separates spaces within a larger area, typically not load-bearing.

Unlike exterior walls, divider walls partition interior space: We put up a divider wall to create a home office.

They may be permanent or temporary, full-height or partial, and range from drywall construction to movable panels.
