Hi there folks,
We just bought a house and want to re-model the kitchen. However, the main window is only 72cm off the floor and opens inwards which means we can't really run the bench-top along that wall without serious compromises.
One solution would be to raise the entire window by about 20cm but I don't know if that would be feasible. Can anyone out there advise me?
Some information:
- two storey brick house built in 1926 (Oslo, Norway)
- Kitchen on ground floor
- old-style double glazed window in a timber frame (actually two sets of hinged panes. The outside ones open outwards, the inside ones inwards.)
- Window frame is about 140cm wide by 177cm high.
PS: I would hire in a professional to do the actual work.
