I have looked around a bit without finding an answer.
I have recently started renovating the recreation room.
We have drained around and insulated from the outside. Now I have started to mount steel studs inside and have placed the studs against the outer wall without an air gap.
My thought now is: is it enough as an air gap if I now leave some space between the floor/ceiling when I put on the panel material and ventilating baseboards on it? Or should I tear everything down and start over?

No, it won't be enough. The air won't be able to circulate then.
If you want that, you might be able to cut into the studs that run along the floor and ceiling. You'll need to cut between all the vertical studs, so quite a bit of cutting (but quite quickly done compared to redoing everything).

Thank you, smart thinking 
what are the risks of laying tar paper-foam-cellular plastic on the floor? Is this a good idea or should one avoid this type of construction?

And this time make sure to read up before you start so you get the air circulation right from the beginning.

So a good solution here is to use moisture membrane/Platon - cellular plastic - floor chipboard and then the finished floor?
Is there any advantage to having or excluding the cellular plastic, apart from the ceiling height being higher?
Do you need any primer against the concrete? The whole basement floor has been polished clean concrete.

You have the EPS for warmth.Amatörbygge said:
You don't need a primer for the Platon mat.
But as I said, check some manufacturer's instructions and follow them, and it should be fine!
Okay thanks for the tips.
Is there a rule for the order in which you install floor/wall/ceiling?
Should you lay everything up to the floor chipboard and then install wall cladding and lastly ceiling panels?
