Kitchen countertop standards.
Countertop window height.
This isn t the greatest picture but i can t take another right now.
The counter height bumped out window was one of the first things i saw on this site that i knew i had to have.
I can understand having the space behind the sink but if there is an water that spills over it goes right into the vinyl window.
I don t know of any actual standard for one but what is somewhat standard is your countertop would be at 36 your backsplash would be 4 more inches and you would need to leave several more inches for casings or apron so i would say make it at least 44 inches off the finished floor height that should also leave you a little allowance so your trim isn t squeezing your.
Counter height tables stools.
While the exact measurements vary from manufacturer to manufacturer a table with a surface height of between 34 to 39 is considered to be counter height these tables are generally meant to correspond with the average height of a kitchen or reception counter.
I think bumping the window out is pretty important to getting the uncramped and open feeling that makes this look so appealing.
If the cabinets are 34 1 2 inches high and the countertop adds 1 1 2 inches increase the overall number by 4 inches for the backsplash making the minimum height for your window 41 inches.
For a traditional look with a sill and an apron at the bottom of the window add another 4 to 6 inches to the height to determine the standard kitchen.
