Installing studs on a concrete floor with underfloor heating
Hi!
I'm going to build interior walls for a bathroom and bedroom on a concrete floor with underfloor heating.
I don't want to drill into the floor. Hoping for some tips here, I could google but maybe there's someone here who has done this.
1. How do I best attach to the floor?
2. Should I use sill sealer if I'm gluing?
3. Which is better to have on the bathroom wall, OSB or plywood? There will be tile.
4. Can I tile directly on plywood/OSB?
Grateful for tips!

Thanks for the response, but can I place the wooden stud directly on the concrete floor?P Patzie said:
yes, you can, if you have so much moisture in the slab that the studs would begin to mold/rot, something has gone very wrong. especially since you have heating in the slab, I assume that there is cellplast underneath and it is capillary-breaking.
Okay, whether there is cellplast or not, I don't know, but I'll have to find out. Thanks for the help.P Patzie said:
