In our drawing, the kitchen window sill height is listed as +1.06 m (3 ft 6 in). To me, this means a sill height of 1.06 m (3 ft 6 in) measured from the finished floor. With a kitchen counter height of 0.91 m (3 ft), this would leave 15 cm (6 inches) for things like power outlets. This is also how the kitchen designer calculated it. Now the bricklayer says that the sill height refers to the structural shell and that an additional 20 cm (8 inches) must be added to the raw floor level for underfloor heating and the screed. Then the window would only be 86 cm (2 ft 10 in) above the finished floor, making it 5 cm (2 inches) lower than the kitchen countertop. That can’t be right. What is correct?

But the kitchen counter is supposed to be 91 cm high. I think I need to make a call tomorrow.A window sill height of 86 cm (34 inches) plus some additional support underneath the countertop results in a working height of 91 cm (36 inches). What you need to check is whether the window frame has at least about 6 cm (2.4 inches) in height, so that 5 cm (2 inches) of that can be used for the support and countertop.In our plans, for example, a parapet height of 1m (4 brick rows) was specified, which later resulted in a finished height of 90cm (35 inches). The screed and underfloor heating accounted for about 15cm (6 inches), and the windowsill and plaster/mortar underneath about 5cm (2 inches). The plans were used by the masons on site for the masonry work.
