Hello,
we would like to convert our upper floor – currently, there is only the concrete ceiling. Unfortunately, the windows were installed quite low (bottom edge just 90cm (35 inches) above the floor). That’s why we want to keep the floor buildup as low as possible with screed, underfloor heating, etc. Therefore, my question is: what is the minimum height that should be planned?

Difficult to very difficult.
More insulation was installed in the bathroom – otherwise, impact sound insulation panels were used. Pipes were covered and wrapped with PUR and plastic sheeting (significantly smaller diameter). I was not very satisfied with that. As far as I have read and understood, the main concern with the pipes is to have enough screed above them.

Yesterday I finally finished the screed insulation after a week—honestly, I found it dreadful.

I just hope they properly covered everything with the membrane – you never know (it looked good while they were pouring the screed, but of course I wasn’t there).
For the screed insulation, I only reworked the edges and the taped seams – overall, they managed to avoid creating any wall connections. I think for my next house I’ll handle the insulation myself, though – they all seemed to lack attention to detail.
Are you getting cement screed or flowing screed?

No flowing screed – cement screed on the upper floor/basement and anhydrite on the ground floor.
