How do you secure a new wall on a ceramic tile floor over a concrete subfloor?
I want to build a linen closet in my bathroom and have the perfect spot for it. I'm clear on framing, hanging drywall et all, but...
How do I secure the bottom part of the frame? Do I knock out the tile and glue it directly to the concrete or just glue it onto the tile? Are there special nails I can use to secure the wall to the concrete?
Only 2 ways to do it .. Drill and use a Tapcon or cut out the tiles and use a nail driver which, using a 22 cartridge drives a nail into the slab. If you do use a Tapcon, the expanding part of the Tapcon must be slightly lower than the tile or you risk breaking a tile when it expands.
Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
