What window sizes - widths are normally installed?

...maybe written a bit poorly...

Example: window length= 2.385 x height=1.27

In other words, we are not sure whether the height of the window of 1.27 is too big and are considering changing it to a height of e.g. 2.385 x +-1.00

...hope it is clearer.

But that is nonsense. With a parapet of about 80/90cm, a tall person would have the lintel right in front of their eyes. This window issue depends anyway on the height of the storey, the room usage, and the style.

Basically: the more light, the better! ....If you are unsure, a forum cannot help without further information. From your details, one might simply think that you are afraid of attracting attention from the building authority by giving too much information.

We have adjusted the size of the windows of the exterior view and also the location (that is South, West..). It was also important to us that the windows match the house and all have the same width, so that it looks harmonious and not too "wild". Therefore the question is what do you want? Tastes differ..

Example: Window Length= 2.385 x Height=1.27

First: why example? - second, where should we imagine such a window: above the bed (so a replacement for the roaring stag), between lower and upper kitchen cabinets, in the dressing room, as a picture frame for the garden view behind the fruit bowl, ...?

Double praise. Please follow suit, dear children!

Nowadays one can sometimes get the impression that for some people "Bauhaus" also means that the facades look like SpongeBob faces.

...will go out again over the weekend and take a look. Bigger windows in the children's rooms were planned, i.e. 1.27 or higher... and narrower, longer ones in the bedroom/bathroom, i.e. 0.90 - 1.00 and corresponding length... fitting the facade.

We find it difficult to judge the proportions. Of course, there are again 1000 different opinions, preferences and suggestions... but every now and then there are helpful tips or experiences why yes or why not... that is after all the purpose of the forum.

No, the roaring stag won’t be happening... in any way
See above or beginning of the topic


Two compliments. Please follow, dear children!

...this is not about slapping 25 different window sizes on one facade... but when XY tells me that the planned 2.80 x 1.00 window is simply too small/dark in the children's room and sucks for them...
...then that is quite helpful after all... regardless of whether with stag or...

Proportions: 19:10 is almost twice as wide as it is high, 19:8 almost two and a half times as wide as it is high.

Opening sashes should not have (significantly) more width than height, otherwise they will often need readjustment.

As the only window in the children's room, the window will be large enough to illuminate it - for a 12 sqm children's room already the smaller one, for a 20 sqm children's room also the larger one just barely. But what is 1m window height supposed to be for anyway: should the child in the first school year have to climb onto the table to look outside – or crouch down in the last school year?

Google Le Corbusier Modulor.

In case it wasn't clear enough from the contributions of the other discussants: a 1m flat viewing slit is just enough at the top or bottom.

And 2.385 m width is useful for a fixed element (in the kitchen as natural light for cutting onions) but with opening sashes it would have to be two- or three-leaf.

The mentioned width at both heights is not a window in the practical sense, but a stylish lookout for the function-follows-form faction.

And such hyper-wide horizontal arrow slits definitely do not go with vanilla-colored bricks and a half-hipped roof!

We have such windows in both children's rooms – Horst-Kevin prefers playing in the treehouse, and Lisa-Chantalle definitely wants the exact same one in her dollhouse

Opening sashes should not have (significantly) more width than height, otherwise you will have to adjust them frequently.

As the only window of the children's room, the window will be large enough to illuminate it - in a 12 sqm children's room already the smaller one, in a 20 sqm children's room also the larger one barely. But what is the point of 1m window height anyway: is the child supposed to climb onto the table in the first school year to look outside - or crouch down in the last school year?

the 1.00m is, as mentioned several times, not planned in the children's room, but in the bedroom / bathroom

- What proportions would you spontaneously recommend for that (even without knowing the floor plan).... 2.20 x 1.27 or something along those lines?

Google Le Corbusier Modulor.

...I will do that when I get a chance. Thanks

If it wasn’t clear enough from the posts of the other discussants: a 1m low visual slit is tight at the top or bottom.

And 2.385 m width is usable for a fixed element (in the kitchen as natural light for chopping onions) but with opening sashes it would have to be two- to three-leafed.

Should then 2.385 (2.40) x 1.27 as double-leaf fit, right?
...or what are "common sizes"?

The width mentioned is not a window in the practical sense at both heights, but a stylish lookout for the function-follows-form faction.

And such hyper-wide-format loopholes definitely do not go with vanilla-colored bricks and a half-hip roof!

...does not work...does not exist... or how was that?) No, it wasn’t intended anyway

We have such windows in both children’s rooms - Horst-Kevin prefers to play in the treehouse, and Lisa-Chantalle absolutely wants exactly the same thing in her dollhouse

..Jacqueline you forgot
