Securing plates to basement floors with in ground heating

Jordan_Toronto | Posted in Construction Techniques on

Any suggestions for the best way to secure bottom plates to a basement floor that has in-ground heating—I.E. can’t use traditional fasteners?

Thanks….a bit perplexed!

    Don't be perplexed. It's not good for your complexion!

    Buy PL Premium const adhesive to glue the PT plates down. Weight them in place overnight and you ae good to go
