This will certainly become an issue for us as well. If the price is the same or even cheaper for the wooden beam solution, we will definitely prefer it. We have also had good experiences with insulation between rafters in terms of heat until now, so..."never change a running system," even if one can see it differently. Currently, we also benefit from this solution because we have been able to easily adjust lighting in various ways, add outlets, etc.; all of this can be implemented simply, up to the installation of lamps, built-in parts, etc.; all of that would be difficult or even impossible with a concrete ceiling. To what extent you then add insulation between the beams of the floor ceiling and/or make it walkable with OSB or similar, you can still decide at any time. For me, a concrete ceiling between the upper floor and the attic would feel more like a disadvantage, even if I were offered the possibly more expensive concrete ceiling "for free."

Exactly. Unnecessary.

Once everything is finished, it is a huge advantage. At least for me personally. It supports everywhere and holds everything. It is great against heat in the summer. It was super easy to insulate. I personally experience no disadvantages from it. Necessary? No. An advantage for me? Yes.

WHAT do you mean by that or which solution is the advantage or what advantages?
I am still BEFORE the decision, so I am interested in different viewpoints.

So I have a concrete ceiling. The truth is: in the planning phase it's complicated, afterwards difficult to install e.g. spots. Afterwards: for me great. It has really good heat protection and is extremely easy to insulate (if not walkable). These are clear advantages for me.

Is it worth retrofitting additional insulation between the rafters if there is already insulation on the attic ceiling? That would solve the cold space problem in the winter in the attic, wouldn't it?
