Hello,
I'm starting a new topic here because this is so important to us that the purchase decision depends on it.
I have already opened two threads about the property:
Today I received the cost estimate. Although we indicated underfloor heating as a preference, the engineer planned with radiators. My inquiry resulted in the following: Currently, there is a floor structure/screed with a height of 6 cm. (You would completely remove that for underfloor heating, right?) According to him, underfloor heating requires 10 cm, and if we want a central controlled residential ventilation system, it even needs 15 cm. We don't need impact sound insulation on the ground floor, as there is only the basement underneath.
The construction plan states a height from the finished floor level of 2.65 m. Plus the removed screed, that would be 2.71 m. Subtract 15 cm for underfloor heating and controlled residential ventilation and another something for the floor (we want tiles), I generously estimate (?) 2 cm. That gives me 2.54 m. That is still okay as a room height, right? We currently have 2.56 m plus a few millimeters. Can you notice a 2 cm difference?
Is my calculation correct, or will there be more centimeters added?
The stair step height would have to be changed somehow and the door openings raised, but that is worth it to us (up to a certain amount).
Of course, I will ask the engineer again, but I would appreciate your opinions/advice!
Thanks :)
