ᐅ What ceiling height did you choose?

The sill height of our windows is 1.51 m (5 feet). We also have a 1 m (3 feet 3 inches) wide element, and it doesn’t look strange.

I think the additional cost for the doors was about three times higher, but since they are flush doors, it’s a bit difficult to determine exactly where the extra cost comes from.

The roller shutter box is the last element when the concrete ceiling is above. Otherwise, there is a lintel above it (first floor with wooden beam construction).

Is the window itself 1.51 m (5 feet) high, or is that the parapet height?

Could you share a photo of it? Feel free to send it via private message.

We also want flush doors in white and have planned for 2.1 m (6.9 feet) so far, but with a ceiling height of 2.6 m (8.5 feet). Now, due to the floor structure, we’re ending up with 2.56/2.57 m (8.4 feet), so we’re considering increasing it by 12.5 cm (5 inches).

The window is 1.51 m (5 feet) high – sill height 90 cm (35 inches).

2.25 m (7 feet 5 inches) doors are also standard, so the additional cost will probably be moderate. I still have a 2.12 m (6 feet 11 inches) T30 door here, but I find the space up to the ceiling simply too large with that. Photos will follow...

So, here are a few pictures.

I hope they help you.

Thanks for the pictures.
For most, 1.985 meters (6 feet 6 inches) is standard for doors. We definitely want 2.1 meters (6 feet 11 inches) or rather taller.

Hello,

through this thread, we realized that the planned ceiling height for the large kitchen/dining/living area might be a bit low. So far, about 2.625 m (8 feet 7 inches) wall height and therefore approximately 2.45 m (8 feet) clear room height were planned. Now we would like to build half a brick higher, so about 2.75 m (9 feet) wall height and around 2.57 m (8 feet 5 inches) clear room height. We hope this change is still possible after the building permit / planning permission has been issued.

Now to the main question: what door and window heights would you recommend? We would like the floor-to-ceiling and "full-height" windows in the kitchen/dining/living area to be as tall as possible. Above them, there still needs to be space for the roller shutter box and about 5 cm (2 inches) of insulation height to be deducted under the terrace roof.

We plan to consult a window manufacturer soon, but independent preliminary information would of course be helpful.
