Ceiling too low?
Morning
I feel such a tool. A few weeks ago i am embarked on sorting out the living room floor. I layed plywood on the floorboards then self levelling. I got so obsessed with the level that i didn't take into account how high the ceiling will be after i had finished . I installed some 10 mm laminate on top and trim. The door was yet to be installed, it then dawned on me that ceiling was considerably lower, I have a measure it and it comes out at 237.5, I feel like ripping it out and starting again, but i think the wife will kill me. Do you think this is too low.?

It's fine. Some places I go to are lower than that. Unless you have stuff that's super tall it shouldn't be a problem

Agree with other answer it’s about bang on doors are 6’6 your ceiling is about 7’9 which is about what you’d get in most new builds give or take

The average ceiling height is around 2.4m or so in the UK so it’s absolutely fine AT 2.375m.
