Hello there.
We want to renovate our outbuilding and install underfloor heating. Now we have a problem with the ceiling height. It is currently 190cm (75 inches). The underfloor heating system has a total height of 25cm (10 inches). The heating installer said we need to lower the floor by 35cm (14 inches) compared to its current level to have a reasonable ceiling height. The existing base is a concrete slab. Now the question is, how do we level the slab again after cutting or removing 35cm (14 inches) from it? Or can someone explain the typical floor structure up to the underfloor heating?
Have a nice Sunday everyone.

Is the 1.90 m (6 ft 3 in) ceiling height only under the beam? And is the rest noticeably higher?
Otherwise, the proportions don’t add up. If you want to insulate, use a dry screed with a thin insulation layer. Ideally, this will only reduce the height by 5 cm (2 inches). And you can attach the surface heating to the wall or even the ceiling as suggested.
Is this actually a basement, a barn, or what?
