I'm going to build an interior wall to divide a living room that is currently L-shaped. The room was originally divided but the previous tenant wanted a larger living room, so that wall was removed. The entire existing room has continuous oak parquet that I don't want to damage... I plan to tear down the wall again in a year or so when the kids have moved out since we won't need the bedroom.
So the question is:
How do I attach the sill to the parquet without damaging it? The opening is 3m and there should be a door in the middle.
Is it best to glue it in some way (since the parquet will be sanded again when the wall is torn down) or are there other reliable alternatives? Maybe some strong double-sided tape?

Double-sided tape is usually sufficient if you then cut the studs for the wall a few mm too long so that the wall is wedged between the floor and ceiling. However, you will get marks on the floor when you remove the double-sided tape. But maybe it's time to sand the floor as well...

Should it just be a hmm straight wall or should there be some type of angle on it as well, and how long is it? If it's angled, I would think it's enough to attach it to the wall and possibly the ceiling. It should stay put under its own weight and since it is angled and attached to the wall, it can't move either.
