Hello,
following the thread about ceiling height, we realized that our planned ceiling height for the large kitchen/dining/living area might be a bit low. So far, a wall height of about 2.625 m (8 ft 7 in) was planned, resulting in a clear room height of about 2.45 m (8 ft 0 in). Now we would like to build half a brick higher, so approximately 2.75 m (9 ft 0 in) wall height and thus about 2.57 m (8 ft 5 in) clear room height.
Now to the main question: what door and window heights would you recommend? For the floor-to-ceiling and "ceiling-high" windows in the kitchen/dining/living area, we want them to be as tall as possible. Above them, there still needs to be space for the roller shutter box, and from the available height, about 5 cm (2 inches) must be deducted for insulation under the terrace roof.
Thanks

Hello,
our rough opening height is actually exactly like yours.
Our windows look like this from top to bottom:
12.5cm (5 inches) Ytong lintel
30cm (12 inches) roller shutter box
215cm (85 inches) window (frame + glass)
19cm (7.5 inches) floor construction
= 276.5cm (109 inches) rough opening height
Our doors are 211cm (83 inches) high.
Originally, we had not planned for the doors to be that tall (because we are not very tall ourselves). However, our general contractor later defined that as the standard and installed them this way. It looks good. And when you visit somewhere else, the doors immediately seem low.
