Yeah they do. I know that :) This is not a floor to ceiling window. My point is
they're trying to use 9 ft celing as a sell point. I find it
redicualous is all.. you see most homes with so called soaring
ceilings have LARGE floor to celing WINDOWS and the celings are 10 ft
or more in some aresa such as the foyer. How do I know this? Well
Trying To Sell one, for one thing.. yup.

And there's hundreds similar to it.

If a place advertises 9 ft celings as ist Most Attractive Feature..
you gotta wonder about the  qualities of the basic amenities.

These windows are just your regular standard type windows.

 They are relevant if you want maxium sunshine. If you have plants
requring a lot of sun, a south exposure gets the best especially in
the wintertime. :)

In Texas if you have big windows facing east and west you better get
solar screens. ah..  Big business there. They're ugly but they do cut
down on the utility bills depending on what percent blockage you get.
We got the 80% on the west facing windows. This percent allows low
light requirment plants to live. I don't like the screens as they make
the house dark. Glad we don't need them in FL. Doesn't get as hot as
it does in TX in the summer.
