This article will be of interest to those involved in the finishing of properties, both for investments and investors. Today we will address the problem of choosing an external window sill. What should you pay attention to? What parameters should you keep in mind? What types of external window sills are there?
The most important criteria when choosing an external window sill
There is no doubt that external window sills should be resistant to weather conditions. The purchase of a parameter is usually for many years, so it is worth considering it more carefully. In principle, we should take into account many parameters such as appearance, resistance, aesthetics and prices.
Types of windowsills
There are many types of windowsills. The quality of their workmanship obviously affects the price. Galvanised steel windowsills are the cheapest option, used mainly in buildings from the 70s and 80s. Galvanised window sills have many disadvantages, the most serious being that the sound of rain can be clearly heard. A better and slightly more expensive solution is plastic window sills, which are much better in terms of design and versatility in terms of colour choice. Plastic window sills are easy to clean and provide good sound insulation, but they are not very resistant to weather conditions. Clinker window sills are a more expensive option. Their great advantage is that they look very nice and are resistant to weather conditions such as rain and frost. The most exclusive option is stone window sills, usually made of sandstone and granite. Natural stone window sills, especially polished ones, look amazing, but unfortunately their price can be mind-boggling. They are usually used in single-family homes or luxury developments.
The last type is wooden window sills, which are usually used in log constructions. Unfortunately, although they look very nice, they are not solid, even if we impregnate them systematically. Aluminium window sills are an option that combines the advantages of all the above-mentioned products. They are produced by drawing aluminium from structural alloys. They are characterised by incredible rigidity, almost perfect hardness, tightness and affordable prices.
