Any pics to support your decision are appreciated. Renee x Whilst we didn't increase our ceiling heights (they were already 2.7m) we did increase the garage door height from 2.15m to 2.372m - that was as high as it was practical to go.

But that’s something that can be changed easy. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: 2.7m ceiling height and garage door height... thoughts.. 10Nov 19, 2017 8:04 pm Thanks Doulton777.

Cos with builders you never know. my 2.7m ceilings were an upgrade and i wasnt asked if i wanted to raise internal doors or garage door. with my garage, ive got a 510mm drop from the kitchen so the standard garage height looks out of whack - see below! im surprised i didnt pick it up when going thru the plans!

Sent an email to the builder to see if they can increase garage so its in line with top of entry door so hopefully shouldnt be a problem Re: 2.7m ceiling height and garage door height... thoughts.. 16Nov 19, 2017 9:24 pm Re: 2.7m ceiling height and garage door height... thoughts.. 17Nov 19, 2017 9:27 pm It doesn’t look too bad.
