Hello,
we are currently having the floor structure done. A total of 16cm is planned. These are divided as follows.
5cm Styrofoam
3cm mat for underfloor heating (for stapling)
6cm screed
2cm floor covering (tiles)
The 5cm and 3cm panels have already been laid. Next, the pipes need to be installed. When we were at the house today and measured from the height mark to the upper edge of the underfloor heating mat, we got values between 106cm and 107cm. That means to me that we are missing 1 to 2 cm. We do not believe that the height mark was applied incorrectly. It was applied already during masonry and again after plastering the walls. The markings were almost identical. The correct panel thicknesses were also used correctly (5 and 3cm). We don’t know if we are worrying unnecessarily or if something is really wrong. We also notice that when walking on the mat, it sinks a bit, meaning it can be slightly compressed.
Could it be that the mats are compressed further by the weight of the screed?
