material for inner wall that should withstand some water at the bottom?

[Yrrol]

Imagine a storage room. Where the floor is occasionally rinsed clean.

If you were to build an inner wall in this room, I think you should first pour a bit of concrete and then place the studs on top of it, but if you're looking for a more convenient and quick solution, what would be the easiest thing to do then?

(considering the risk of wooden studs and OSB boards being damaged by water)

Sheet metal studs and minerit board.

 

[Yrrol]

sounds expensive, but on the other hand, it's not fun if it rots away either.

 

[Yrrol]

Question two, if the wall is already there in the form of 45 wooden studs and OSB, can you protect them against water?

 

[Nils82]

Yes, with a sheet for example. But boards and the sill will absorb water from the floor.
An alternative is to "redo" the wall by placing the sill on plastic blocks and cutting the board a few cm, then covering it with suitable material.
But then you might as well build an entirely new wall.

 

[Lutte]

You can protect it with glued plastic strips or split minerit that is glued with sealant.

Or a sheet metal that is bent towards the floor and sealed.

Plasterboard and wet room paint?

 

[Yrrol]

Isn't plaster more sensitive to water than wood?

 

[D09]

Mostly thought that plaster is a dead material and maybe better to waterproof than wood

But if the studs are on a concrete slab, they will probably absorb some moisture anyway

 

[Yrrol]

Those expensive metal studs, are they usually galvanized or something so they don't rust away?

 

[Nils82]

Galvanized. They aren't exactly acid-proof, but they can handle the conditions you describe.

 

[Yrrol]

can you place wooden studs in such a metal track on the floor or do the metal studs have different dimensions?

 

[Nils82]

Works fine! Make sure to lift the beams 1-2 cm from the track so they don't absorb water.
