What is your window height with high ceilings?

I don't know, but maybe there is such a standard?

If you want to install roller shutters/blinds, add another ~20-25 cm and another ~20 cm for the lintel. That means the lintel would have to be 2.3m high. Then I would plan for 1.4m high windows with a 90cm parapet. Without the louvers, I would even plan for 1.6m.

With 2.72m ceilings we have 1.51m windows with 92cm parapet height , with 2.42m floor to ceiling height windows.

And no blinds on the window sills, but with Venetian blinds on the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Do you have a picture of the windows? So you have just under 30 cm left for shutters and lintel or is the lintel in the ceiling? How wide are your windows 1.51m high?

One 1.61m double and one 60cm single leaf. And one 1m single leaf where we forgot to do a vertical impost.

With a ceiling height of 2.70 m, I would recommend a window height of 1.385 m, and for floor-to-ceiling window elements of 2.26 m. At this height, there is enough room to install top-mounted roller shutters, and they are pleasing to the eye as they match the height of the room.

If you want to install roller blinds, you need approximately 30 cm.
