There is provided a ventilating sill plate for elevating a wall portion from a receiving surface. The ventilating sill plate comprises at least one longitudinal base having a first and a second face opposite the first face extending along a longitudinal axis, the first and the second face extending laterally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis between a first and a second lateral side. A plurality of longitudinally spaced support legs extend away from the second face and define at least one ventilating channel extending from the first to the second lateral side of the at least one longitudinal base. A plurality of support pads project from the first face and collaborate for supporting the wall portion. A plurality of longitudinally spaced arms are shaped and sized to receive the wall portion therebetween.

A ventilating sill for elevating a wall partition from a floor surface in order to isolate the wall partition from moisture and humidity that can emanate from the floor surface or be present thereon. The ventilating sill includes a block having a support surface, a base surface, two opposed side surfaces and a plurality of spaced channels extending between the side surfaces forming channeled surfaces. The ventilating sill further includes a pair of slats, each slat extending from each side surface upwardly towards the wall partition at a right angle to the support surface, the slats defining a support area, and being adapted to guide the wall partition onto the support surface and at least one aperture communicating between the support area and an ambient environment for ventilating the support area and draining moisture and humidity therefrom.
