Hello,
I'm looking at finishing my basement that has slab infloor hear. My
main question is how can I attatch a studded wall to the floor given
that I don't want to slash any pipes in the concret. Is there anyother
way without doing a thermal scan to get a location of the pipes (I
really don't want to have to that) .

Any assistance would be appriciated.

Rob

Has the pipe got a metal foil layer?

No unfortunitly it does not. Its plastic I think.
Unfortunitly I can't ask the builder, since his business is no longer
alive. So i'm left to guess.

thanks

I actually read somewhere that someone used PL premium polyurethane
glue to get the studed walls attatched to the floor.

Would this work?

fit 'em in there snug to the floorjoists and use liquid nails at the bottom.
They won't go anywhere. You're not planning on running your car into them
are you?
