Hello everyone!
Our site manager just sent us a sketch indicating that there will be soffits in the floor and ceiling areas of the cloakroom. Attached is a sketch as well as the ground floor plan. We believe that such soffits would greatly disfigure the cloakroom area and make it less usable. It also seems strange to us that such soffits should be accepted in a new build. I also cannot imagine that such ventilation cannot be planned without these soffits. You only know this from old buildings where ventilation systems are installed later.
Here is our question to the construction experts here in the forum
Are such soffits common and simply an unavoidable evil that owners of a central controlled residential ventilation system have to live with, or do you consider this poor planning that we should not accept? How does it look in your house?
Best regards
