9 foot ceilings add to cost of heating and cooling.

9 foot ceilings second floor.

A highly desired feature in homes today is a 9 foot ceiling or higher on the first floor according to a survey of builders by the national association of home builders. Our builder recommended 8 for the bedrooms to make it cozier. You d probably have to ask your architect or engineer if that s structurally possible. That said i wish we would have not had two story ceilings in family room and hall and had 10 foot ceilings on the first floor and 9 foot ceilings on the second floor.

One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. We do have 9 on the first floor and 8 on the second floor. This is a major change from the days when the cost of heating a home was considered a more important requirement than high ceilings. While many custom builders will assume that homeowners want.

I don t even really notice the difference but i do think he had a point on coziness. Newer houses are often built with nine foot ceilings on the first floor and sometimes eight foot ceilings on the second story.
