I removed the following segment because the walls in the Bronecks weren't the type under discussion here. Leaving the claim and counter claim.. was just confusing and wordy.

Pressurized walls are temporary wall systems that use pressure instead of nails, screws, or adhesives to stay in place. Pressurized walls cause no damage to existing floors, ceilings, nor walls, therefore making them extremely popular in New York apartments where permanent construction is usually not allowed in most lease agreements.

Controversy
editPressurized walls are often installed without first obtaining required building permits. Two New York City fire fighters are died in a fire after they got lost in an apartment that used pressurized walls. This led to manslaughter charges to be filed against the apartment tenant and the building owner.[1]
The walls related to the deaths of the Fire Fighters were not Pressurized Walls. The fire occur in a tenement building where I doubt anyone could afford a $1,000 plus pressurized wall. The walls related to the fire were make-shift walls that were not professionally built. The top companies that build pressurized walls are all fully insured and build the walls to both NY Building codes and Fire Dept codes.
Pressurized Walls are not attached to the existing walls, floors or ceilings and can easilly be knocked down by the Fire Dept. . Please reserch your facts before making incorrect postings.

- Just came across this. Do you have any sources to cite for your above "research". By the way, use spell check next time and please properly sign your comments. --Stoopideggs2 (talk) 06:19, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
I don't believe most of the content in this article is helpful.
editAfter coming across "pressurized walls" while searching for a temporary wall system for my basement, I came to this page looking for a brief summary of the term. I believe that is what most people will expect when they come to this page. Specific details of the materials and construction of a particular system of pressurized wall are not appropriate for such a minor topic and certainly not as the leading paragraph. Further, I have never heard of a "ream" of sheetrock, and according to google no one else has either.
Moreover, I think this topic would be better served as a subsection within a "temporary wall" or "Partition" article, especially in light of how ambiguous this term is. Sumatt92 (talk) 07:22, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
