How do you anchor wood or metal studs into concret floor?

Answer 1

If you are framing or not you need to run a stud on the concrete where you intend to attach it. You drill holes through your (plate) the floor piece to match the holes you drill in the concrete with a masonry bit. You will need some (anchors) that fit the holes you drilled into the concrete. you hammer them in flush with the surface of the concrete. When you buy the anchors it's best to buy the masonry bit at the same time so the sizes are comparable. The anchors should be just about as large as the masonry bit but the should fit snug when tapped into the concrete floor. Then you lay your plate or stud over the sunken anchors. The holes should match up with the anchors providing that you drilled them with the plate in place thus marking your anchors position on the floor. Then your anchors come equipped with the Bolts that you run through the plate and into the concrete which now makes you hire-able in one construction trade. Good luck.

Answer 2

Holes must be drilled through the wood and concrete for the anchor bolt If putting down 2x4`s. The bottom track for metal studs is attached to the concrete floor by using a " shotgun ". A .22 shot is used to power a pin through the metal track into the concrete . Home Depot or Lowes sells the gun, loads and pins.
The loads or shots come color coded as to how much power is needed, brown, green, yellow, red, etc. The gun will not fire unless the end is pressed all the way down against the object to be attached. Hilti and Ramset are two good brands. Ones from a pawn shop are usually worn out.

Answer 5

There are several ways:
1. Use masonry nails that you drive in with a hammer. This is hard to do so I don't recommend it. You will also need eye and hearing protection.
2. Use masonry screws or lag-bolts. You drill a hole through the stud and into the cement then just screw in the bolt or screws about 2' - 3' apart. This is time consuming but is the best and easiest way in an existing floor or wall.
3. Use a powder fired nail gun. This is dangerous as you are firing a bullet into the floor (really a nail but with a real live round.) You will also need eye and hearing guards for this or you will damage your hearing.
4. If it is a new floor that hasn't been poured out yet you can place lag screws into the cement where you need them. This is the best way to do this and has the strongest hold.
5. Drill holes where you need to fasten the studs down and use masonry epoxy to hold the bolts in place. Basically this way is just gluing them into place.

Have at it. Personally I prefer to use lag screws as they go in easiest and give a strong enough hold for most residential work. They are also available pretty cheap. You will need a hammer drill and massonry bits to do this as well (the drill can be rented for about $10 a day)

Answer 6

There are several ways to do this. You can use a hard surfaced concrete nail in wood (this can be hammered in or shot in with a specially designed gun). This method is good for interior walls, but I would avoid its use on exterior walls. You can predrill anchor holes into the concrete with a masonary bit, and use anchors designed for attachment. This method will work well for wood or metal. There are two major anchor types to use with a predrilled hole. One is a drive in unit with a stud and nut on the building side. These can be driven in and then simply tighten the nut to secure the plate. Also, they make specially hardened concrete screws which can be driven in with a drill (into an predrilled hole). These thread into the concrete hole and are good on interior walls (especially around door openings to secure the plate better than nails). I personally prefer the anchors with the stud/nut on the other end. Either way, you need to determine the length to have at least 2-3 inches into the slab for best attachment.

Answer 7

On account that you say that the ground track is anchored to concrete, the timber studs would typically no longer move a code inspection. The wood framing ought to have a significant separation from the concrete, and the steel monitor is just not ample of a separation. You may have got to put down a run of stress handled timber before you should utilize average wood studs.

Answer 8

drill a hole in the floor and buy some anchors called thunder studs then drive them in with a hammer

Answer 9

Most contractors use a nail gun, some that are driven into the concrete using a .22 blank. You can get a sort of single shot device at most building supply stores that will allow you to fire one nail at a time, useful for small do it yourself jobs.

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/pDvtn
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.
