Floor-to-ceiling windows - Why floor-to-ceiling windows? Advantages and disadvantages?

You don't stay 31 forever. And when you have a slipped disc, a back spasm, or just an advanced pregnancy coming up, you don't even have to be old to be happy about not having to bend down.

Oh yes. Right now, I’m avoiding our cleaning stuff and not looking too closely at the terrace door.

I lived for 3 years in an apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows. In the dining area it was great. In the living room it was useless, because the sofa was in front of it. In the office it was relatively unimportant, but somehow a bit annoying. In the bedroom it was a horror. How often did I hop around naked in the room with the light on at first and forget to pull the blind down. The annoying thing was that the windows were basically around the corner, so everyone could peek into our bed. Eventually, the blinds were always down.

Our bungalow was first offered to us with floor-to-ceiling windows. The planner looked so dumbfounded when I had them all taken out and instead asked for 2m wide, normally high windows. Only the terrace door gives a full view into the garden and that’s where the dining table is.
In the bedroom she finally lost her mind. “Yes, but then you can’t go into the garden at all!” God help anyone who walks through my bedroom with their shoes on (My husband is one of those specimens who only notices after 10 meters through the house that he still has street shoes on.)
And if I absolutely have to go into the garden there, I can also climb out the window. I’ve done that 3 times already because I had to scold my son quickly.
At the children’s rooms, the planner almost started crying. The children’s rooms are already quite small. What more space am I supposed to cut down? My son loves the windowsill. His crafted things find a proper place there.
So far, we’re very glad about these decisions. Thanks to corresponding overhangs, we also have good shading and especially in summer we always had cool temperatures in the house. In winter, the wide windows let enough sun in to warm my fur on the couch.

Our neighbors are such "negative examples" of floor-to-ceiling windows. In one case, there’s a sofa in front of it, and so it doesn’t look too stupid from the garden side, there’s a plant armada behind it. The rest of the floor-to-ceiling windows, however, look great.

I personally believe we should prepare more often for summers like this in the future. Last year there were also hot days (over weeks) with local storms, this year hot weeks. I don't want an air conditioner in the house yet, but I would probably make preparations so that it can be retrofitted without major effort.

For my part, gladly. But then I would also retrofit an air conditioner in the bedroom

How often did I hop naked through the room in the light at first and forgot to pull down the blind.

It doesn’t have to be in the bedroom... but letting the garden in at living level, that’s nice

I’ve done that three times already because I had to yell at my son quickly.

There we have the argumentation with the body’s whims The consequence: do nothing with lumbago or a building savings contract, people over 31 have free rein in a house with windows

You don’t stay 31 forever. And if you ever have a slipped disc, a lumbago or simply an advanced pregnancy, you don’t even have to be old to be happy about not having to bend over.

You don't have to prepare anything for that, except provide an outdoor power outlet. The rest can be done well afterwards.

I thought you might need a fresh air empty duct, or do they just drill a hole in the outer wall?

I thought you might need a fresh air shaft there, or do they just drill a hole into the exterior wall?

That's exactly how it is!

I’ve already done that 3 times because I had to quickly tell off my grandson.

Replace "grandson" with "grandson" and imagine, of course, being over 31 – then it’s "a kingdom for a floor-to-ceiling window"

My grandson loves the windowsill. That’s where his crafted things find a proper place.

Oh yes, "no windowsill" is worse for Playmobil figures than for azaleas

(My husband is one of those specimens who only notices after 10 meters through the house that he’s still wearing street shoes.)

Men always have to be on alert, especially because of wild animals. That doesn’t work in slippers. By the way, I’m one of those specimens who use shoe scrapers, doormats, and such things – with this cheap trick you can avoid turning shoe soles into "dirt stamps."

just take off the shoes...
it used to be unthinkable for my parents to visit others and take off their shoes...
Like Carry in SatC: this is an outfit :-P
