Going to add a few interior walls to my cabin.

The floor is exposed concrete. Should I put anything between the concrete and the 2x4 base plate?

We usually just use pressure treated lumber for bottom plates on concrete.....

PT lower plate. Concrete nails, hand or power driven

I've seen a thick plastic/polyethylene film between concrete and wood frame. It seems to be common in house construction / basement finishing.
