ᐅ What ceiling height did you choose?

We really stand out from the norm: we have an open wooden beam ceiling, and the clear height up to the bottom of the beams is 2.42 m (7 ft 11 in) including the floor covering. The beams themselves are 22 cm (8.7 in) high. Due to the eave height requirements in the development plan, we made a compromise between a lower ceiling height and knee walls on the upper floor. But since our apartment back then only had 2.37 m (7 ft 9 in) height, it works for us.

On the upper floor, we don’t have an attic peak; instead, we have an open beam ceiling all the way up to the ridge beam at 3.8 m (12 ft 6 in).

For our dimensions of 13.99 m x 9.24 m (46 ft x 30 ft), the additional cost for increasing the ground floor ceiling height to 2.875 m (9 ft 5 in) clear structural height (top of foundation slab to underside of ceiling. Later around 2.65+ m (8 ft 8 in) room height. Including brick veneer, excluding door and window changes): 3,960.17 EUR.

I need to revisit this thread.

May I ask what ceiling height you have inside your homes?

Measured from the finished floor surface.

Ground floor: 2.71 m (target: 2.70 m)
Upper floor: 2.66 m (target: 2.65 m)

I happened to measure recently with a laser.

Then measure at several points – you will usually find some variations.

True. You will surely believe me (considering my profession) that I did that. The variation is less than or equal to 0.5 cm (0.2 inches).

Let’s see what the coming years will bring... laugh. Bent back, ceilings higher and lower.

Sorry, the spell-checker played a trick on me.

I wanted to know what height your doors have with room heights between 2.60 and 2.70 meters (8 ft 6 in to 8 ft 10 in).
