As previously said, windows should be positioned at the same height as doors in a residence. If a window is higher than the door it will cause problems for those who are shorter or have less-than-perfect balance. They may not be able to open the window if it is too high. It is also important that you adjust your windows so they fit properly. If a window is too large or small, it can cause other problems inside the home such as energy loss or excessive heat/coldness. The size of a window should be proportionate to the size of the opening it covers. Higher windows are easier to clean and look better. However, make sure you don't get yourself into trouble by using tools or equipment that aren't appropriate for higher windows. For example, if you need to remove a stuck window latch from outside the window frame, try not to use tools that require you to get on top of the window itself. If you have any doubts about whether a window is too high, call a professional installer for advice. There could be health risks involved with working at such heights.
