Hi!
Found an old thread on this topic:
http://www.byggahus.se/forum/byggma...-golvregel-mot-betongplatta-med-saettlim.html
which unfortunately is closed. Anyway, how do you do it today (the thread is five years old) to attach wall battens to a concrete slab, is it okay to use adhesive or is there a risk of moisture from the concrete slab?
If you have to drill into the slab, what does the forum say about concrete anchors? I recall they can be set quite shallow. Or is it enough with frame plugs?

If you are going to drill into the slab, you must be 100% sure that it does NOT contain embedded heating coils.
If you drill, place a sill paper under the stud - then simply drill straight through the stud and into the concrete. Then insert a nail plug or an expansion nail.
If you are going to glue, clean the surface and glue with PL400 - then the stud will stick - spread a smooth layer on the stud so that the glue functions as a moisture barrier.

Sill paper underneath, then attach with some steel nails that are about 10mm longer than the thickness of the stud. Interior walls do not move, unless you back into them with a car. Normally, interior walls are tensioned between the ceiling and floor.

Hahaha, yes really - I have a friend who weighs close to 120 kg and we don't dare invite him home for some beers.....there's always something that gets in his way and breaks when he falls over while drunk.....
Seriously, is 120 kg and a few beers enough to move the wall? Then it becomes like Tyresö says to measure when you make the slab and take pictures with laid-out reference measurements, e.g., stacked 50cl beer cans so you can see exactly where there are NOT any loops.Tyresö said:

Hahaha, the funniest was a few years ago when he was out in his garden emptying his bladder, when he finished he fell over and dragged the wheelbarrow with him in the fall. He has grabbed many curtains and dragged along both kitchen chairs and the TV when he has fallen over. That's why he's not allowed to drink beer at our place....
But if you glue the rule with PL400 - then it is definitely stuck, at least the glue joint won't come loose.
The same thing with steel nails or other studs. It holds, but you should, as mentioned, be sure that it is pipe/hose-free underneath.
That's why I always recommend taking a photo of how the hoses are laid out together with a measuring tape or ruler. Then you can determine exactly where they are.
