I am going to build an extra room in our living room; we live in a condominium.
I plan to build the walls on the existing wooden floor (floating wooden floor), also with a small angle on the room. There is water-based underfloor heating embedded under the floor, and I would preferably avoid lifting the floor.
I was thinking of doing it the following way:
1. Steel studs on the floor which I will attach with short metal screws, rubber strip between wooden floor and steel. (Double-sided tape and wooden stud might be preferable?)
2. In the ceiling, I will use either wood or steel stud. I'm not sure what's best, but it is a gypsum ceiling.
3. Otherwise, I will use wooden studs.
Grateful for a few tips and advice. Maybe someone has done something similar.
