Infill Wall
A framework of beams and columns in which some bays of frames are infilled with masonry walls that
may or may not be mechanically connected to the frame. Infill panels, otherwise called infill walls, are
non-load-bearing. They are installed between floors on the primary structural frame of a building to
support the structure's cladding system.
Bearing Wall:
If you can see the floor joists, either from the basement looking up to the first
floor, or from the attic looking down to the floor below, note their direction. A
load-bearing wall will often be perpendicular to floor joists.
