A Sleeper Wall is a short wall used to support floor joists of a ground floor. It acts to hold the timber joists away from the potentially damp ground. It is essentially a wall in the way that it is constructed but a sleeper in the way that it functions.
Normal construction is of brick either in stretcher bond or, to aid air flow, honeycomb bond.
