Build a new wall with a door over underfloor heating

[thesutex]

Hey, I have a TV corner that I would like to transform into a small TV room by building a wall with a door. However, there is water-based underfloor heating so I can't attach anything to the floor. Do you have any tips on how to attach this? Alternatively, is it enough to attach it at both ends, which can be screwed into gypsum + particle board as well as a ceiling that is only gypsum?

Build with steel studs against the floor and attach them with double-sided tape. You can screw the other studs for stability.

You can screw the remaining studs for stability.

only metal studs? or just metal against the floor and the rest wood? I tried chatgpt but it didn't want me to have studs against the floor, suggesting spacers instead... sounds weird

I would have chosen a steel stud against the floor and the rest wood. Wood is better if you want to screw something onto the wall and have a wooden stud to screw into.

I installed wooden studs. I attached the stud to the floor with double-sided tape. Only screwed them into the ceiling afterward, but hammered them in so they fit tightly. It's an advantage of wood over metal studs. If desired, one can use a metal stud at the bottom and place a wooden stud inside it if concerned about moisture. But if you have a properly insulated concrete slab, underfloor heating, and have removed the construction moisture, then it's probably fine.

Det finns många typer av bygglim som är speciellt utformade för detta ändamål. Tape kräver en plan yta och ger inte en permanent bindning.

I used wooden studs. I attached the stud to the floor with double-sided tape. Then I only screwed into the ceiling but knocked them in so they are tensioned. That's an advantage of wood over metal studs. If you want, you can use a metal stud at the bottom and place a wooden stud within it if you're worried about moisture. But if you have a properly insulated concrete slab, underfloor heating, and have eliminated construction moisture, it should be fine.

It's on the second floor I'm going to build, and the house is 8 years old, so it should be fine in that regard? Wooden house, so I doubt there's concrete up here on floor 2?

haha there are actually several houses with concrete joists and the combination with underfloor heating is most common with wood. But yes, then it's all good.
