Hello,
for our planned single-family house (city villa, 2 floors without a basement), which will be built by a developer, we would like to install a controlled residential ventilation system. The ventilation installer would like to use oval ducts with a diameter of 115x51mm. These ventilation ducts are to be installed in the floor structure of the upper floor, between the concrete slab and the screed. The floor structure currently looks like this:
- 1.0 cm covering
- 6.5 cm cement screed CT-C25-F4 + fibers S65 H45
- 10.0 cm impact sound insulation
- 18.0 cm reinforced concrete slab C20/25
Now the construction manager has "raised concerns" and says the floor structure would have to be raised by 4cm (which would cost +1200 euros).
If I understand correctly, the ventilation ducts (5.1 cm height) would have enough insulation above and below (from the 10.0 cm impact sound insulation). I have shown this in the attached picture. Is there anything fundamentally wrong here?
Thank you for your advice.
