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."Insulation on the concrete ceiling and thus no full rafter insulation - here is the answer from my general contractor on this topic: Honestly, I'm not so enthusiastic about it. The stage area then becomes a cold zone. This is only limitedly usable as storage space. If slightly warmer air enters the attic through the ceiling opening in winter and meets the cold air on the underside of the roof, then there will be condensation at this point. What do you think? Is he right?
