But in a room deeper than 12 feet that band of wall pinches the view and it s silly to keep the top of the.
10 ceilings with standard height windows and doors pictures.
It s a nice feel but adds expense in cabinetry a kitchen to look good.
With a standard 8 foot wall height this placement leaves a margin of 16 inches between the top of the window and the ceiling.
Standard residential door heights are 6 8 and 8 0.
Even a nine foot ceiling is better with eight foot doors and taller window or an added transom above a standard seven foot height.
Our doors are standard height but 36 wide with 4 casings.
We have 9 foot ceilings.
Higher ceilings up to 12 feet are not uncommon especially in renovated loft apartments and pre war style architecture.
I try to use 3 0 wide door where possible.

Ten feet of height and a 84 door will make that door appear a mouse hole.

Matching the window and door height to the space.

Ceilings can go beyond the industry standard to 10 and 12 feet high.
Window replacement is typically determined when designing the exterior of a house with the height set to the standard door height of 6 feet and 8 inches.
Let me see if i can find pics.
Most construction right now is 10 down and 9 up as standard in my area.
It used to be pretty standard.
Also consider the width.
It s not just the height it s the bulk.
Narrow doors look even narrower when they are tall.
Taller doors and windows or drop the ceiling.
I understand what you re saying about down the road 10 being the 8 of today you could alway hedge and do 11 with 8 doors aesthetically that would look fine and you could bump area mentioned above to 12 to give a little dimension.
12 in living family maybe a study is a nice feature.
We have 10 ceilings and standard doors.
