ceiling height
Room's vertical span
Ceiling height is the vertical distance from floor to ceiling in a room or building.
Standard residential ceiling height in the US is eight or nine feet, though older homes and commercial spaces often have higher ceilings.
The term appears in real estate listings, building codes, and interior design: The loft's fourteen-foot ceiling height makes it feel enormous.
