Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the standard width of windows.
In our planned floor plan, the windows are listed with a width of 1m and a height of 1.25m. This is the size of the opening in the wall, so from wall to wall.
Is the width of 1m standard or is that too narrow?
I think 1.10m or 1.15m would be more comfortable.

What do you think?

Thanks and best regards
Herb

There is no standard width for windows; whether they are 1.01 or 98 cm wide is relatively irrelevant. However, you should keep in mind that current (plastic) window frames with tilt-and-turn fittings can already have a width of 13-14 cm, so from your clear width of 100 cm, only 72 cm of glass remains. What you meant by ypg is the construction dimension, but it probably hardly plays a role anymore with the variety of wall constructions nowadays. Classic masonry with brick and mortar joint is not common anymore.

Best regards,

Sebastian

Thank you, Sebastian,
learned something new again.
The info about the frame width is also very interesting for me.
