Build interior wall in apartment. For bedroom. Gypsum ceiling and parquet floor.

I have some thoughts.
I'm thinking that for the ceiling I will glue the track and try to find ceiling joists to screw into. Molly plugs shouldn't be necessary, right? I'll find joists and use some drywall anchors. On the floor, it should be enough to screw down extensions into the parquet.

I plan to use 45 mm metal tracks and then wood studs. I was thinking of putting up OSB and then drywall. But our entire apartment has single drywall on 45 cc, so maybe I'll just use single drywall. OSB is good if it's a bathroom and you want to reinforce, but it shouldn't make much difference in a small bedroom, right?

OSB board is good to have if you're going to screw heavy things onto the walls, otherwise you can skip it.

I don't know why you would glue the beam to the ceiling? That sounds a bit overkill. If you find studs there, then fasten it with a sturdy wood screw (not drywall anchors) into them. You probably don't need to tickle the neighbor upstairs in the butt with the screws, but a 50-70mm length for them is probably necessary after all.

Parquet is excellent to screw into, I've done it, but you need to be sure the construction is permanent since you're damaging the parquet, which tends to drive Swedes crazy.

A bit Off Topic. But keep ventilation in mind.

It is quite common for this type of renovation to cause issues in the next OVK (ventilation inspection). Then you might be forced to demolish the wall.

It's quite common for this type of remodeling to be flagged during the next OVK (ventilation inspection). You might then be forced to demolish the wall.

Great tip. It's already approved by the board and the neighbor has done the same.

I don't know why you would glue the ceiling beam? Sounds a bit overkill. If you find studs there, screw it in securely with substantial wood screws (not drywall anchors) into them. You might not need to tickle the neighbor above in the rear with the screws, but you'll probably need a length of 50-70mm on them anyway.

Parquet is great to screw into, I've done it, but you should be sure the construction is permanent because it will ruin the parquet, and Swedes usually go crazy about that.

Always glue the extensions and that's how it's done in construction too. Then it stays put! I think like you that OSB is not that important. New homes are probably built with just drywall. Have even seen it in bathrooms 😎

It's not wrong to put some nail plugs through the parquet if for some reason it's torn up in ten years.
