Hello,
I will soon be moving into a new house and plan to divide the hallway with a partition wall to create a smaller office, then build some storage on IKEA frames, as well as a shoe rack. I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to construction and have a few questions I would appreciate your help with. See my quick 3D sketch below (the furniture will look different).
The house has a concrete slab and I will hire a tiler for new tiles. To avoid moisture problems, I plan to build the wall with a metal track against the floor, then 45x70 wooden studs, OSB, and gypsum.
- I would prefer to avoid drilling and screwing into the new tiled floor. Do you think it would work to glue instead, will it be sturdy enough even with a half wall? Pl400 or something else?
- The slats are either oak or teak. How do I attach these in the best way without visible screw holes? Glue there too?
Anything else I should consider?
Thank you for your help!

Great sketch!
Glue is good.
You can also tension the wall between the floor and ceiling by driving in wedges or using threaded rods and washers since you have tiles underneath. In that case, use a rubber mat to protect the tiles.

I would mount the battens as part of the wall before raising it. Then you can plug and glue them. Otherwise, you can always use glue and wooden dowels, like a round bar that you saw off flush.
Unfortunately... The geometry in Sketchup has wrongly oriented surfaces (the dark grey-blue ones). Select one of the correct surfaces (white) then right-click and select set surfaces. If you grouped objects and you should, you need to repeat this for each group/component. After that it will be "toppen"S Småbrukaren said:
