Problem calculating the parapet height for a worktop running into the window

Will you then get the cooktop lower?

Are you going to make the cooktop deeper then?

No, but we tried it with tall pots. That fits well.

... It would be nice if we could return to my original question ...

Should the countertop run into the window frame so that the window can just still be opened, or should it connect directly under the window frame?

In the latter case, the parapet height is the countertop height + floor structure. In the first case, the same minus the frame.

Or am I missing something? It somehow looks too simple.

That cannot be correct. A mounting profile is always installed under the window. The window therefore sits a few centimeters above the parapet height (parapet height = top edge of the uppermost row of bricks).

Do you want to do the masonry yourself?

The parapet height is usually the upper edge of the windowsill... it doesn't matter to me how the window is mounted according to the current state of the art, normally with brackets... the window is mounted at the appropriate height after the shell construction. This is specified in the execution planning by the mason and the window manufacturer.

In the kitchen, the countertop will then take the place of the windowsill material. The calculation is done the same way as for your marble bench at the neighboring window. Task by the same people. Overall, the working height is therefore equal to the parapet height, of course depending on the countertop material.
