Gluing studs moisture-proof on concrete? Help
Hello!
We are trying to build a stable construction for our bathroom in a corner of a small guest house.
Since there is underfloor heating, we can't screw the studs to the floor.
How would you build to make it as stable as possible?
Perhaps buy U profiles to place the wooden stud in and glue them?
I don't want to glue the wooden stud directly to the concrete due to the moisture content in the concrete.
Thanks so much for the tips.

You can tighten the framework and anchor it on the sides where it can be screwed. If you place a steel rule at the bottom on top of a rubber strip, it becomes very steady. It's fine to use a steel rule at the top as well, but the upright ones should be made of wood. Do not use a smaller dimension than 45x70. Plyfa + gypsum with staggered joints stiffen up as Ragganof wrote.
Those expansion nails are awesome!henke_benke said:
If you don't like using steel studs, you can attach a track to the floor with the above expansion nail and place a wooden stud in the metal track.
But I agree with the previous speaker, metal tracks with wooden studs become robust enough and then some.
