Don't know what I prefer bigger cupboard or view of a fence? Mine are 720 but my plans show it above the feature window Our Nolan viewtopic.php?p=1516376%23p1516376 Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 482Jul 03, 2016 7:43 pm Does height of ceiling (ie 2.7m, 2.6m, 2.5m or 2.4m) make a difference? @Orph Build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Home Furniture: viewtopic.php?t=80551 Technology Hub: viewtopic.php?t=83663 Landscape Design: viewtopic.php?t=80645 Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 483Jul 03, 2016 7:44 pm You wouldn't think so. You would think they'd do the bulk head to what ever height is needed Our Nolan viewtopic.php?p=1516376%23p1516376 Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 484Jul 03, 2016 7:45 pm So our ceilings are 2700, the cabinets and window dimensions add up to 922+643+720=2285. If we make the bulkhead less deep, they should be able to move the cupboards up the 40mm or so to make them in line with the window top edge. Prefer that look (full window opening) than any overhang.

Then I will personally write a huge notice and stick it where the bulkhead will go telling them what NOT to do. Also, will ring my sales consultant tomorrow and blow him up on his mistake. Next step, emailing head of construction!!! My Metricon Glendale in Sydney.

My gyrock and kitchen cupboards are already in. Tell them to fix it and that you're not happy. It probably looks bad from the outside of the window looking in too? Which idiot builder would block a feature window?? My Metricon Glendale in Sydney. Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 497Jul 03, 2016 8:59 pm KKPP My ceiling height is 2.84 so they could have reduced the bulkhead easily. It's not that we don't have enough space. Exactly, you are the customer!! Push it!! My Metricon Glendale in Sydney. Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 498Jul 03, 2016 9:10 pm You could reduce the height of the top cupboards as a alternative. I made the mistake of telling my wife so think I will need to make the call also.

I've just looked at Metricon's website and every kitchen pic with a splashback window has cabinets sitting above!

Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 500Jul 03, 2016 9:23 pm Post gyprock is tricky, although nothing is impossible with our SM! We asked for wider returns in the master WIR after frames and he kindly obliged. We may just live with it, far from ideal though.
PS what are "shadowline infills"? Maybe we can alter their height? PPS looking at that last picture HGM, looks like they try to match the height of the bulkhead across the entire space, as the family room and bifold bulkheads are the same. So aesthetics.
