Window sill height 25 or 50 - height of fall protection

Oh man, you can also make a doctoral thesis out of every "detail".:cool:

The child likes to look outside. Yes, but for how much longer? In 1 or 2 years, it probably won't be interesting anymore.

I don't think that depends on age. Don't you have any grandmas who watch everything? Like with cushions on the windowsill and so on ;)

That doesn’t work with floor-to-ceiling windows

In case someone finds this thread later and is interested in the "resolution": I was able to get in touch with someone at the TÜV and clarify the matter. Contrary to the original statement from the window manufacturer, no fall protection 90cm above the top of the window sill is required. Instead, the total height of the fall protection must be at least 90cm and the protection from the window sash must be at least 60cm. Thus, the total height of the fall protection at about 105cm above finished floor level is still slightly raised, but nowhere near as bad as originally feared (>125cm) and claimed by the window manufacturer.

Therefore, we will keep the parapet height 50 in all rooms to keep it uniform. The 105cm fall height is okay for us, it is similar to a parapet, e.g., on a stair railing.

Note: The above statements only apply to Bavaria and only for fall heights <12m and only if the window sill does not have an "over-depth" (window seat).

My window installer also wanted to sell me such ugly parapets. I simply told him that the facade builder would do that, and unfortunately he apparently forgot.
