Front door is 80' tall & ceilings are 10', what height for
Comments (21)That transom is taller than 14" I feel sure. For reference, the mullions are either 7/8 or 1 1/8th or in that vicinity. Then you have a couple of inches at least of trim around the spider web to hold the glass before you get to the door trim. . . I would insist on a CAD drawing of your door before you purchase it to see how it will look. This is not the best picture of this house but it is one I love in Atlanta where we got the idea for the narrow french doors we have in our new house. The ceilings in this house are 10' I think and the french doors across the front (hidden by the boxwoods in this picture) are 8'. The front door is a good bit shorter - maybe even the 80" of your original thought. The transom is not a spiderweb, but a beautiful custom design that is not shown well in this picture. The foyer doesn't have flanking closets like you describe, but the rest of the house also has 8' doors . . .

Comments (28)We are currently building, and we did 6'8" doors on our lower level, which has 10' ceilings. The exterior doors have transoms, which are at a consistent header height with all the windows. We toured MANY homes when we were researching plans and preparing to build. I just couldn't get used to 8' doors. They just didn't look right to me. To each their own I guess!...See MoreFor a 10 ft ceiling, what should be the height of mouldings?

Comments (12)My financial concerns would be 2 fold and they have been mentioned already. A 12 inch support may be tough without steel if this is a 2 story house. Steel is not that expensive but considerably more than wood. The next concern is on the cost of the doors. 8 foot is pretty common, 9 is not. I would expect a doubling of cost. Are you doing crown molding and window casing? Obviously 12 inches is enough but if you do a heavy crown (which you usually want with 10 foot ceilings) and window/door casing - it is tight. I don't know my modernist from my contemporary - I just call it modern. In my limited experience here - they don't use a lot of trim and then taking doors and windows close to the ceiling makes more sense. So what style are you doing? I am building my 3rd house with 10 foot ceilings. Every single one of them has 8 foot doors with 8 foot as height of the windows. One exception - oceanfront house view wall has windows up to 9 feet. No crown, no window casing....See MorePensacola PI
