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

We have tall narrow windows without shutters at the stairs (north side) and despite the Master Karree it is somewhat difficult to walk around naked, thanks to motion detectors especially in the mornings and evenings..

That's why people usually use patterned glass there, then you don't have that problem, right ...

We have "Master Karree," but it only helps to a limited extent.

Here it probably just sounds like someone likes to talk and tries to explain the world to others

Exactly: a columnist usually has to fill a column weekly, almost regardless of the topic (as long as it’s contemporary themes), and typically it’s about some *ahem* "ideological" topics.

What is floor-to-ceiling supposed to do in the bathroom or children's room or study with a desk planned behind it

Some people think that because symmetry is not spelled with "i" and "n", it also doesn’t need to make sense

my mother’s neighbors have a floor-to-ceiling window - right next to the toilet...

Even better before that: also a way to encourage sitting down while peeing

Our floor-to-ceiling window. I’m sitting there at our dining table.

You can nicely watch half the village. Our previous owners had those side sliders from Ikea on there. We did buy them from them but didn’t put them back on.

Whether floor-to-ceiling windows diminish privacy certainly also depends on the location and the property. I wouldn’t now place the fully glazed Huf house within a building zone 3 meters from the sidewalk on a busy street.

But if, for example, the entire garden is separated by a 1.8m high wall and there is already natural screening to the front towards the street through old trees and bushes, then the upper floor is designed as a recessed top floor and is therefore already shielded from view and by the parapet, and lastly all the windows have venetian blinds to provide additional privacy if needed without absolute darkness, then it works.

Well, one could still apply full-surface black film to the windows to top that.

And regarding furniture: Hopefully everyone is clever enough during the planning of the house to keep not only the exterior architecture but also the interior architecture and later interior furnishings in mind. We have drawn and cut out our existing furniture as well as the kitchen to scale with their areas, and then placed them on the floor plans of the house to get a first impression of whether it fits roughly. Without the kitchen island hitting a floor-to-ceiling window.

Floor-to-ceiling windows are, for me, windows that are only where a special place in the house can be or should be. Privacy or a place where you cannot be seen from the street is naturally part of it.

But I think, for example, in front of the dining table with a suitable view is worth its weight in gold. Where you can stretch out your old lady (so we’re sticking with the dining table ) could also fit quite well, depending.

Floor-to-ceiling windows are generally wrong. It just has to be harmonious and fit as a whole.
