About 2.6 high x 2.95 wide Re: Window sizes what to choose? ? 3Jul 31, 2015 2:00 pm If you are interested is passive solar design one would need to run a glazing analysis. Also changing the windows size and/or location significantly can affect the green star rating of the house and may require the energy assessment calculations to be redone.

Did you build with hickies? did they charge you much extra to do this? and did it affect your energy rating? would you mind sending a pic through please Beetaloo If you are interested is passive solar design one would need to run a glazing analysis.

Thank you - Beetaloo Re: Window sizes what to choose? ? 5Jul 31, 2015 8:25 pm Chi Chi 1- no I didn't build with hickies, sorry I didn't read your question properly. I will try and post a pic in the morning. It did not effect my energy rating. It is a double glazed window. Walls, floor and ceiling are well insulated and roof eaves have been designed accordingly depending on their orientation. I used a building designer and a private builder company, not a volume builder.

We chose to make the most of our space and chose 2.4m wide doors and windows in much of our house and only realized after most pre made curtains and blinds stop at 2.1m. A bit of a pain in the bum but on the plus side the mrs. Has taught herself to see and we've made some nice curtains! Just don't know what to do where we want blinds as custom builds are bloody expensive! Re: Window sizes what to choose? ? 7Aug 01, 2015 9:55 am Jonooo Make sure you think about window coverings too.
