# Reinforcement under the partition wall

### Problem

If you positioned the partition wall parallel to the floor joists, the partition wall will "hang" in the air. That is, it will rest on the floor panel (plywood, OSB) but not on the structure.

### Solutions

Include additional materials for floor reinforcement under the partition wall.
