ceiling height?

[ulfi]

What should I choose, 240 or 250 in ceiling height? I was thinking of putting chipboard + plaster on the walls, what do you think about that?

Hi, I'm not quite sure about the question, do you not have a ceiling yet, is it under construction? Looking at newer houses that are available, they almost exclusively have 2.50m nowadays. I would choose the 2.5m height, it gives a greater difference in height than one might think, those 10cm. Often, OSB boards are used in the walls, not particleboard.

Of course, you should choose a higher ceiling height! It makes a big difference, even those mere 10 centimeters. Feel free to go even higher, many new builds today have ceiling heights of 2.60-2.70 meters.

Hi, I'm not quite following the question, do you not have an inner ceiling yet, is it under construction?

are OSB boards more expensive than k-plyfa?
and what thickness are they available in?

 

[elof]

OSB boards are somewhat cheaper than plywood.
They are usually 11mm thick (11x1197x2440).

The width of 1197mm is to provide a gap between the boards of 3mm.

 

[ulfi]

yes, maybe one should buy them instead! I'll check what they cost here in Kiruna. it is so damn expensive compared to southern Sweden.

We have 2800 downstairs and 2600 upstairs, 2500 in the basement..

What length should standing studs be for a 240cm ceiling height? There's a top plate lying on top that the floor joists sit on... The drywall is 240cm.
This is strange...
Sill 45mm standing stud 240cm top plate 45mm... 2490mm total.
Minus 28 furring strip minus 13 drywall minus 15 parquet (slab on grade) 2434mm... ??

How long should the studs be? Surely, carpenters aren't sawing all the standing studs?
They are ordered at 240cm, right??

I chose a ceiling height of 240 without much thought. That way I can reach the ceiling when standing on the floor. Moreover, there's less air to heat up...

How long should you make the studs? Surely, no carpenters stand and saw all the standing studs? They're ordered at 240cm, right?

Sure, you can order pre-cut studs. But not all building suppliers offer that service, and someone has to be paid to cut the studs in any case. Keep in mind that when you buy "standard" lumber, like 2500, it's only rough-sawn. The measurement can vary; maybe 2505 to 2520. So you can't just throw these into production directly, they need to be adjusted.

And of course, all standing studs are cut. Cutting the hundred or so studs needed for a house takes at most an hour. This is one of the smaller tasks when building a house.

I personally chose 240 in ceiling height without any particular considerations. That way I can reach the ceiling when standing on the floor.

Why would you want to reach the ceiling when standing on the floor? *curious*

(can imagine that I would only need 2 m in ceiling height *giggle*)

Can make it easier when building but otherwise "it should" be high ceiling
