A partition wall includes soffit c channel sections; floor J channel sections which have one side wall higher than the other and at least one longitudinal upstanding rib 5 in the base section; and lightweight autoclaved cement extrusion(ace) panels in which the panels incorporate a tongue in one end edge and a mating groove in the opposite end edge and a recess in at least one face of the panel adjacent the said tongue and groove to facilitate setting the panel joints. This invention addresses the problem of labour and lifting times and costs in installing walls in high rise buildings. 10 The ACE panels are modified to provide a recess adjacent the tongue and groove joints of two end abutting panels. This recess accommodates the sealant joining compound to provide a paintable finished surface. The panels are installed into the soffit and floor channel tracks that require no other fastening apart from sealing. The floor and ceiling tracks are installed first. The floor tracks include at least one rib 15 which supports the panels to allow them to be slid above the track fastening s and to absorb building movement and reduce stress on the panel joints.
