Secure 2x4 frame to ceramic tile floor with adhesive (no nails)

ErniePF · #1 Mar 12, 2008, 10:53 AM

I want to frame up a small reach-in closet in my bathroom (2x4's, drywall), but I have an obstacle: My ceramic tile floor covers cement board and a sub-floor with radiant heat/water-filled PEX.

The 5 foot length of closet will span one wall, with short sides. The back of this closet will be securely fastened to an existing wall and ceiling. However, can I secure the sill/floor 2 x4's with a strong adhesive? I don't want to risk nails of any size hitting the PEX.
