Vorsatzwände

German to English Tech/Engineering Architecture Wandkonstruktionen
Im Montagesatz für Vorsatzwände sind Metallwinkel, Schrauben und Dübel für 7 Holzständer enthalten.

Es geht um den Einbau einer Küche, bei der eine Wand vor die normale Raumwand gesetzt wird, die dann spezielle Küchenmöbel trägt. Ich habe bisher nur curtain wall gefunden, aber das bezieht sich auf Außenfassaden. Gibt es einen enstprechenden Begriff für Vorsatzwände für innen?
Proposed translations (English)
4 face walls
3 Attached walls
3 support walls

I think they are meant to support the furniture and help to take the strain of the wall not for aesthetic reasons.
Paul Cohen Apr 3, 2007:
If you are looking for an English counterpart to 'curtain wall' - then Oktay's suggestion is perfect. Are these walls purely aesthetically pleasing, or are they specially built to support heavy kitchen units?

neutral Paul Cohen : Just got to the office and checked my architectural dictionary. 'face walls' or 'facing walls' would be the interior counterpart to curtain walls. However, since these walls are built to support kitchen units, 'support walls' might be an alternative.

Attached walls

I think this means walls that are attached on an ad hoc basis inside rooms.

support walls

You're right - curtain walls are exterior constructions that are not intended to bear heavy loads.
