hardwall

Solid interior surface

Hardwall refers to rigid wall construction, typically drywall or plaster, as opposed to fabric partitions or temporary dividers.

In commercial settings, a hardwall office has permanent walls rather than cubicle panels: She finally got promoted to a hardwall office.

The term also appears in construction for plaster applied directly to masonry without lath.
