Part of newly build extension, faced with this dilemma:
We are removing external loadbearing wall and naturally putting a beam across. For new ceiling we have two options, either we box the beam and keep the ceiling height same or lower the ceiling level and have straight ceiling across the exiting area and the new extension. Lowering the ceiling will bring the height down to approx. 2.5 meters.
Unsure what would be advantage/disadvantage of the above so appreciate your input!
cheers
