Interior wall without screwing into the floor?

[MTech]

Hello!
I'm planning to divide a room for the kids with an interior wall!
A wall that I will take down again in the future when the need is no longer there!
And I don't want to have screw holes in the solid wooden floor that is there!
One idea I have is to anchor the partition wall to the walls and ceiling and have a beam at the bottom that is only anchored to the walls!
The partition wall will be 3.2 meters long and consist of 45x70 studs and beadboard nailed directly to the studs! Will it sag in the middle at floor level? I think that if you make it tight so there is constant pressure against the floor and ceiling, it will work! At least I hope so 😄

I think it'll work. If you place a high-friction rubber mat between the floor/beam and ceiling beam and then hammer in standing beams that are a millimeter or two too long, it should probably be fine.

In the book "Bygga, fixa, bo" with Arga Snickaren, there are exact instructions for such a wall. Steel stud with felt on the back against the floor and ceiling, then you wedge wooden studs between the ceiling and floor studs so there is no damage anywhere.

We are testing! Thanks for the feedback!

It went really well! Tugged and pulled at the studs before I put up the boards and there wasn't a hint of flex! Now it's just those darn seams that need to be plastered before wallpapering!

Great, we're expecting our second child in a month, so we'll probably have a similar situation here too

I built using only wooden studs and single plasterboard!

Sitting with the book in front of me, a good way to build, but where the heck do I find sheet metal tracks covered in felt?
