Hello new here. I've been trying to find answers about finishing my basement but, i think i have a problem with the way the floor is. the basement is about 40' x 80' lets say i don't know the exact dimensions with a partitioning wall directly in the center the long way. On one half are the laundry room, stairs, storage area, and unfinished bathroom. The other half is completely open. The floor is all tiled and also has in floor heating. I am trying to partition the open side to make different rooms ex.. bedroom, workshop. I think i'm screwed in the fact that the floor is tiled and has in floor heating so I won't be able to secure a floor base plate for a wall correctly. Or is there a way without nailing through the tile into the concrete and possibly damaging the in floor heat tubing. Maybe some kind of cleat or glue? I'm not sure and I'm no professional. If I have to live with it so be it.
