10' or Higher Ceilings with 6' vs 7' Casements?
Modern ceiling heights are typically 10' to 12', with windows often placed all the way to the ceiling. But when plans show a 7' tall casement window, it’s a red flag—because very few manufacturers test casements over 3' x 6'.
If you’ve got 11' ceilings and a 7' casement, it could end up 4' off the floor—which won’t meet egress requirements and could derail approvals late in the game.
PLAN RED FLAG!
