Mesorat%20hashas for Oholot 6:5

טֻמְאָה בֵין הַקּוֹרוֹת וְתַחְתֶּיהָ כִקְלִפַּת הַשּׁוּם, אִם יֶשׁ שָׁם פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח, הַכֹּל טָמֵא. אִם אֵין שָׁם פּוֹתֵחַ טֶפַח, רוֹאִין אֶת הַטֻּמְאָה כְּאִלּוּ הִיא אֹטֶם. הָיְתָה נִרְאֵית בְּתוֹךְ הַבַּיִת, בֵּין כָּךְ וּבֵין כָּךְ, הַבַּיִת טָמֵא:

If there was impurity between beams, and [the partition] underneath was [as thin] as a garlic peel, if there is a handbreadth's space, everything is impure. If there is not a handbreadth's space, we view the impurity as if it were blocked. If it is visible within the house in either case the house is impure.
