Is there a standard height for a half wall?
We would like to make the wall b/w our kitchen and den (not load bearing) a half wall. Would open up the door way to make it wider and then a half wall. I've taped off what I think looks "right' to my eye, but was wondering if there is a standard height? Thanks so much!!
36" is counter height, wall is 34 1/2" + 1 1/2" cap or counter
42" is bar height, wall is 40 1/2" +1 1/2" cap or counter
The wall height before the cap or counter will vary, depending on the thickness of the cap/counter. ...»
3CM granite is real close to 1 1/4", so if you go this route, adjust accordingly.
You will more than likely need to modify some electrical, I don't think I have ever done a wall mod like this without having to re-route an outlet or switch. Check for plumbing too, before you start cutting out the wall...
These are your basic/standard dimensions. You can choose whatever you like, but it depends on the situation and what the use will be. Good luck!
