What is the minimum ceiling height to mount a PAX?
For hinged/no doors, the ceiling height needs to be at least 1cm higher. For sliding doors, it is at least 4cm higher. You need more space for external lighting, depending on its height.
Type of door / Required ceiling height
hinged door 201cm / 202cm
hinged door 236 cm / 237cm
sliding door 201cm / 205cm
sliding door 236cm / 240cm
no door 201cm / 202cm
no door 236cm / 237cm
If you'd like to integrate external lighting, you will need more space than stated to install it. This depends on the height of the lighting.
