house walls

Building's vertical boundaries

House walls are the vertical structures that form the sides of a house, enclosing interior space and providing structural support.

The term appears in discussions of construction, insulation, and home repair: We found mold inside the house walls.

Unlike simply "walls," the phrase specifically excludes interior partition walls, focusing on the building's outer shell.
