I will need to put 2 windows between the fireplace for title 24 requirement in California.
Reason: we are building a family room that connects to the living room so the current sliding door to the patio is no longer considered vent/light.
Back in the days when the house was built, the fireplace wasn't center. On the left side from the corner to the mantle is 48.5". On the right side, is 39" from corner to mantle.
I am thinking of putting double hung windows (the ones you push up to open windows). On the 48.5" wall, the window I am considering is 36" width x 48" height. On the 39" wall, the window I am thinking should be 30" width x 48" height.
Ceiling is 8 ft high.
Does the windows sizing look ok for this situation (going with different width size)? I am more concern of the look since the walls are not proportion vs the ability to frame it. I have been told that 30" is the max window width I should go on the 39" wall.
Thanks,
