Walls – How to build a partition wall in room without damaging marble floor

partitionwalls

I have large room size in my home, 12'x 22'. Now I want to rent it and therefore, want to divide the room in two with a partition wall.
Is there any way to build a permanent partition wall on marble flooring without cutting or damaging it?

If you don't want to damage the floor, the best way around this is to attach your bottom plate, usually a 2x4, to the floor with construction adhesive. Then add your studs and top plate. You could also just assemble all the framing on the floor and then raise the walls, using construction adhesive for the bottom plates, walls and ceiling if desired. The wall would be permanent but could be removed without damaging the floor
