You see this on a lot of products. This is because a lot of people simply don't understand how cubic meters work, or need to think about it where they know pretty much how much floorspace they have. And in practice it doesn't matter, most people have ceilings somewhere around 2.5 meters and these indicators aren't that precise anyways.
A 2m ceiling seems rather claustrophobic to me
I might be wrong but I assumed it's perfectly obvious to OP and it's the kind of joke where something is funny because you stretch the meaning to read it literally. I chuckled actually, despite it making perfect sense.
You had a great post going until you screwed it all up by saying ceilings were only 2m high.
Yeah: 2m or 1,50m, who really cares.
But it does matter… someone with vaulted ceilings at 12’ instead of 8’ would have this be 50% as efficient, which is huge.
The fact that you blundered the only important piece of information is ironic as shit since it absolutely matters….
How does that work when a standard door is 2.1m tall?
Anyone who has ever done anything related to doors knows, there is no such thing as a standard door.
My wife: We don't need to replace the door frame just the door
Me crosscutting and ripping my new door to fit the old frame: Great idea honey
That’s usually from the previous home owner who thought they could install the previous door themselves and not knowing the difference between a rough opening and finished opening.
There is absolutely a minimum size that doors need to be for almost any house. Yes you can incorrectly install other doors, but codes provide a minimum size for professionals to follow when installing. Which is 2.1m in most of the world. Other places will have their own standard size door, but yes every country absolutely has standard door sizes.
Why do you claim otherwise…? Just go look up any big box store door catalog lmfao, plenty of standard door options for even home owners. If you’re cutting a door to size, you’ve done fucked up in almost every case.
And it’s funny you say something like this while being completely off base about story heights… fucking lmfao. Sure we should listen to your “expertise” hahahah, you don’t even know how tall a room is, yet we should trust you know anything about doors? Really? Seriously… dude?
Most ceilings are a foot and a half or more above the door
