Hello,

This thread made us realize that the planned ceiling height for the large kitchen/dining/living area might be a bit low. So far, we planned about 2.625 m (8 ft 7 in) wall height, which equals about 2.45 m (8 ft 0 in) clear room height. Now we would like to build half a brick higher, so approximately 2.75 m (9 ft 0 in) wall height and about 2.57 m (8 ft 5 in) clear room height. We hope that this change is still possible after the building permit / planning permission has been granted.

Now to the actual question: which door and window heights would you recommend? We would like the floor-to-ceiling windows in the kitchen/dining/living area to be as tall as possible. Above these, there will be the roller shutter box, and from the available height, about 5 cm (2 inches) need to be deducted for insulation under the terrace roof.

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

You also need to consider the lintel and, depending on the floor, possibly the ring beam.
Our non-floor-to-ceiling windows are just under 80cm (31 inches) high. We preferred this look since some of these windows are also continuously 2 meters (79 inches) wide.
Otherwise, I would have chosen a height of about 1–1.10m (39–43 inches).
