    Hi,
    were looking at putting a long narrow window over our sink in the kitchen, we've seen them in magazines but cant find the measurements, ie the hight from floor, the hight of the window for that look. Can anyone help..
    Regards

    bottom of window is usually left at 1050mm above floor level so that it is above worktop with 150mm to spare. the top of the window usually (not always) runs in line with the windows or doors on the same elevation. this height is usually 2100mm above floor level. that will give you rough constraints for heights and the width can be left to whatever suits. allowing that the majority of kitchens will have wall units to either side of the sink thus restricting the widths that can be fitted.
    hope that helps.
    oh dont forget to put window as top hung if possible . it means handle is on bottom and leaves it easy to reach

    Hi 1 chippy,

    The style/look were looking for is like the one in this link, but maybe a bit higher.
    Have you any ideas?

    purely a guess on this one but height i reckon is between 350-550mm lenght cant really make it out but at least 2m. its very hard to even try and reference the size off other objects so its hard to work out. going by the light i would say its not only window in that area.
