Hello!

We are working on a "small" project in the house, namely replacing the kitchen. We will take the opportunity to install new electrical wiring at the same time, and the electrician suggested that we frame up the wall where we will have the kitchen cabinets (see attached image). He also thought that we could then apply OSB+gypsum on top of that, so that's the plan now.

The house has no basement and is built on a concrete slab. Right now, the concrete slab is exposed, and the wall to be framed is a brick wall with what appears to be some kind of lime plaster.

I was thinking of using 45 mm studs (we can't frame higher than that, as we have a window that will get in the way a bit further along the same wall), but I'm a bit uncertain about exactly what materials to use. Is it safe to place wooden studs against such a wall, or should we use metal studs? If possible, I was thinking of placing a horizontal stud along the entire floor, but it might be a bad idea to put wood directly against the concrete slab?

The plan otherwise is to eventually self-level the floor and then use PE film + wood flooring.

Thanks

No one with any suggestions?
 
It's just a matter of framing on. Put sill paper under the studs, and you have both belt and suspenders.

Place horizontal studs where the kitchen is to be screwed.

Best regards

Thank you!
 
Replace OSB with plywood and it will definitely hold up to mounting the kitchen in.
 
Thanks for the answers. It will be syllpapp and studs on that.
A quick question on the same theme: I'm going to buy studs and started to wonder how best to attach the studs to the wall (that the kitchen furnishings will hang on)

Are nail plugs sufficient for this, or should something else be used?
