Natural stone window sills for your home!

Natural stone for window sills is the best investment of your time and money. Natural stone lasts a lifetime and needs little care. So if you are building or renovating a house, it may be time to think about window sills too. Window sills are an essential part of a building's facade, and indoors they are both decorative and practical. Their job is to protect the wall from dirt, dust, water and moisture, and they also give you a surface to put things on.

Which natural stone should you choose for window sills, indoors and outdoors?

Indoor window sills

The main job of an indoor window sill is to protect the wall below the window. It is also a decorative surface for putting things on, most often pot plants or something similar. Choosing the right material can make your home much more attractive and give it a special character. Indoors, customers most often choose natural stone sills in marble or granite, which give a room a special charm and elegance. Both materials are also very hard-wearing and very easy to care for. Indoor natural stone sills are usually 2 or 3 cm thick.

Outdoor window sills

Outdoor sills have a similar job to indoor sills. They also protect the facade from bad weather and dirt. Every sill has a drip groove, so water and dirt do not reach the facade. Outdoor sills are most often made of granite, which is even harder than marble and more resistant to all kinds of weather and to mechanical damage. Outdoor natural stone sills are usually 3 cm thick, but you can also choose 2 cm.
