Hello, is it possible to lower the floor construction to gain more ceiling height?
My building planner originally designed with standard height hollow brick blocks, and that is still my biggest issue and very frustrating.
My current construction has a total height of 18cm (7 inches): 10mm (0.4 inches) vapor barrier, 70mm (3 inches) thermal insulation with a thermal conductivity of 0.035 W/(m·K), 30mm (1.2 inches) insulation fixing board, 65mm (2.6 inches) cement screed with underfloor heating, and 5mm (0.2 inches) PVC flooring with leveling compound.
I would also like to replace the insulation with a better one, which has a thickness of 60mm (2.4 inches) (Puren PIR MV-SE).
Is this possible overall, how many centimeters of height can be gained, and what costs should be expected?
I assume the biggest challenge will be that doors and stairs may also need to be adjusted?

You want to remove a screed layer along with underfloor heating to add an extra 1cm (0.4 inches) of insulation afterwards (plus improved impact sound insulation to reduce noise from the ground floor in the basement)? Just before Christmas is a bit late for April Fools’ jokes.

My planner originally designed the building using standard height hollow brick.However, the number of stacked bricks is flexible. You must have expressed your preference, or did your planner have to comply with the height requirements of the development plan?Changing the floor structure now seems to me like a costly and pointless victory. What exact ceiling height are we talking about? I would suggest using paint and visual tricks to make the rooms appear taller. Even if you hire a professional for this, it will be more affordable than turning the house into a construction site for months.

My planner only designed with standard height hollow bricks back then, and that is still my biggest problem and really frustrates me. particularly misleading because it initially made me think of NF bricks on a timber beam ceiling and then I was surprised not to see them mentioned again in the floor structure.

For now, I just want to know if it is possible and, if so, how many centimeters would be reasonably achievable and what needs to be considered.
Whether I actually do it is another question. Does liquid screed also need to be heated, and does it create high humidity? Yes, it does. Yes, a lot of moisture needs to be removed.

Unless you use poured asphalt screed. It is much thinner, does not contain moisture, and can be covered immediately.
