Hello everyone,
I have another question burning on my mind. We are currently having a semi-detached house built through the developer. In the attic, there is currently a knee wall with a 50cm rough construction dimension as standard. The roof itself rests on the floor. So no knee wall, if I understood correctly. But somehow, that’s neither here nor there. The drywall installer has now offered to move the knee wall forward to 1m. Cost point 280 euros net for just under 6 meters. He also somehow needs to know everything promptly, for whatever reason.
I thought that would come after underfloor heating and screed. Or how does that work? What is behind the wall then? The floor without screed? That would be quite dirty in terms of storage space.
Isn’t it more practical to leave out the knee wall completely and do it yourself later? I imagine the floor covering etc. all a bit “cleaner” that way. But then the roof would meet the floor at a sharp angle. That would raise the question of appearance.
Maybe you have a few tips for me. What makes sense, what is worthwhile?
Thanks to you all
