Building interior wall, insulation and tips.

[ottoangel]

Planning to split a room into two for our kids. The idea is to use wooden studs 45x70 and insulate so they don't disturb each other too much. The plan is to install OSB board and gypsum board that is 90 wide. Set up studs at cc45. There's a new laminate floor in the room that I thought would remain. Ceiling tiles are in the ceiling and I'm a bit unsure of how to attach the stud to the ceiling.

I can only find this insulation at Byggmax: https://www.byggmax.se/ljudskiva-piano-45-mm-p16320.

However, it is designed for steel studs and is a bit too wide. I've understood that the dimensions of the insulation should be 410x1170 but can't find any at local hardware stores.

Any tips for someone who's never done this before?

Install metal profile on the ceiling and on the floor. It is significantly easier to screw studs into it from the side.

Okay, that might be the most sensible option. But it still seems like the wrong measurement for the insulation with wooden studs, I think?

Does this https://www.byggmax.se/ljudskena-zink-p20894#914=33070 work?

Place metal profiles in the ceiling and on the floor. It's significantly easier to screw studs into one from the side.

It is the room named bedroom that is to be split into two. A bit unsure of what there is to fasten in the ceiling.
Will need to make something "Y" to fit two doors as well.

Assuming there is sparse panel along the ceiling boards, which means there is nothing directly to screw into in the middle of the ceiling (i.e., in line with the windows).

I assume you don’t have any inspection hatch up to the attic above the room, or construction drawings?
It might be possible to attach a steel rule straight into the plaster with a molly plug, as it shouldn’t hold any weight downward.

It might be possible to place a steel stud right up in the plasterboard with toggle bolts, as it doesn't need to bear any downward weight..

Can confirm that this works. Attach it well to the wall and floor and there's no problem with plasterboard plugs straight up.

It seems difficult to find 1205 x 410 insulation boards! Buy larger ones and cut them to the right size, it's just a short wall

However, it is not plasterboard but some ceiling panels made of another material. They are about 10 mm thick for sure, but in some sort of "fibrous" material.

However, it is not plasterboard but some ceiling panels made of another material. They are probably over 10 mm thick but in some "fiber-like" material.

Probably works anyway.

Set metal profile in the ceiling and on the floor, frame with 45x70, insulate with träregelskiva 70 for 450 cc.
