To install furring strips on concrete

If you intend to return to finish a basement, you will probably need to install furring strip sheetrocked to concrete walls, the walls can be that.

Application of furring strips to concrete walls can be done easily with 2 "x2" I 2 "x3 oven" dry wooden frame, liquid nail glue, and some fluted concrete nails.

With moisture in the basement, I want a 2 "x4 prefer" pressure treated stud flat along the bottom of the wall. Place the pin on his plateSide against the wall. The pressure will sit over furring strips stallion deal, so that there is indeed a vapor barrier between the ground floor and the kiln dried studs one.

The kiln dried studs should be placed on 16 inch centers along the wall, again resting on the pressure treated 2 "x4". The kiln dried studs should wall the full height of the concrete.

To attach the base plate and studs on the wall, I run a drop Nails(Designed to keep wood and concrete) along the entire length of the bottom plate / stud. If you use 2 "x3" s for the furring strips, the adhesive must be applied to the wider side, so if the stud is installed, is actually the flat pin attached to the wall.

Starting treatment with the use of adhesive on the pressure plate.

Continue with a drill and a bit 'masonry drill the plate. The holes must be present every16 inches along the length of the plate and should penetrate the concrete walls of about 1.5 ". Then, with 3" fluted nails and a pound sledge hammer 3-5, pound the nails into the holes. Note: I prefer to drill and pound a nail, one hole at a time, in order to eliminate alignment problems.

After the base plate was installed, repeat the process on the vertical tunnel kiln dried. Install a post at a time, back to 16-inch centers. Make sure they are straight and level.

To helpand hold the vertical pin, however, drill holes and nails hammered print in cement, I would like to toe nail the bottom of the screw in the bottom plate of the first pressure treated.

Once the glue is set, the strips are much calcium deposits on the wall and secured ready for drywall.

Note, however, are advised to apply pink insulation between the studs on the wall of a degree of insulation between the concrete walls and finished sheetrocked.Cut 'isolation width correct application of liquid nails on the back of the insulation board and press the insulation between the studs.
