High Windows Are
Advantageous
Better for Ventilation,
Light and Heating

The ideal height Of windows
from the floor is 25 inches Many
homes. however, have windows set
as low as 20 inches from the floor
and Correspondence lower at the
ceiling.
When the windows are high, the
rays Of the sun reach further into
the room. thus providing better
natural lighting.
High windows, when opened
from the top. permit the hot all
under the ceiling TO flow outdoor:
readily, and thus more rapid sum
mer cooling of the rooms is as
Sured.
