Hello everyone,
I hope this is the right subforum.
We want our basement to be just a little higher so that we can also accommodate a guest there. The basement will be fully equipped technically. Now, the building specification states that the basement has a rough structural height of 2.20 m (7 ft 3 in)… but our offer includes the approved higher height. However, it is “only” 2.38 m (7 ft 10 in)! My question is:
What is the remaining clear ceiling height from the 2.38 m (7 ft 10 in) once the floor and ceiling are finished? We will also install underfloor heating in the two main basement rooms. I have no idea how much space the screed, plaster, and so on will take away. Can anyone tell me?
Thanks a lot!!

You should simply opt for the extra 20 or 30 cm (8 or 12 inches) of ceiling height required by the national building code and the appropriate slope in front of a sufficiently large window.
