We're having a new kitchen fitted and have knocked a wall down to make a larger room. The RSJ is now in place and an already low ceiling is now around 1900mm from base of RSJ to current floating floor. We never envisaged it being so big!
We have bought wet under floor heating and now concerned that the further 60mm loss from that, tiles and plaster board over RSJ will make it far too low.
Options are:
1 Proceed and have only 1800mm height
2 Install electric under floor - have concerns over long term costs and ability of this solution to deliver adequate heat
3 Find a way of taking existing floating floor up and laying ultra thin insulation and continue with either underfloor heating solution (wet or electric)
Does anyone have any advice on what options we have, best solution, other options
Many thanks
