Good morning,

I am currently dealing with a window on the upper floor of our semi-detached house. We have a floor structure of 15 cm, a planned floor-to-ceiling window with a height of 156 cm, which was already too low and will become even lower (5-10 cm, see pictures). Although it is a children's room, it probably won't be ideal. Removing the roller shutter makes little sense according to the window manufacturer, the knee wall is too high for a roof window, and a front-mounted roller shutter probably won't fit either because the rafters will get in the way. Is it actually possible to install such a window in this room with the remaining dimensions?

What else can be done?

No opinions or ideas, except a voting with two stars?

Forget the star ratings - they're rubbish, he said he got them from a chewing gum machine (Mel Brooks meant that).

Presumably, several readers won't really understand your question - however, you have restricted the view of your profile, so one cannot look in your thread history for the house behind the question. Therefore, the clarification is missing.

It is probably because no one understands your question?

Best regards

Is it the only window in the room?

What does the floor plan look like?

We also had such knee wall windows in our house, only about 1.00 m high, consciously planned, but with additional windows on the gable side. The windows had charm, the view was directed down into the garden by the roof overhang.

Out of interest: how is it that no fall protection is needed for such windows?
