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.
(It feels like I've only encountered unreliable carpenters who've been to our place. :()

Steel rule?
 
The underfloor heating is not under the walls, is it?
 
The steel rule wasn't so stable. :(

There are two inner walls so there are some pipes running underneath.

Thanks for more tips.

Best regards

Steel frame itself is not stable, but after plywood/OSB and plasterboard, it is very stable.
I did it myself in my bathroom.
 
If there is insulation under the underfloor heating, I would have chosen to glue a wooden stud.

You could lay a horizontal wooden stud in a U-profile of steel that is glued in place?

thanks!!!
 
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.

when there is underfloor heating, we usually use expansion nails 5/22.
sometimes we use a thermal camera.

Those expansion nails are awesome!
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.
