Natural stone window sills for your home

Natural stone window sills are the best investment of time and money. Natural stone lasts a lifetime and is easy to care for. If you are building or renovating, think about the window sills too. They are an essential part of the facade and an attractive, practical detail indoors. They protect the wall from dirt, dust, water and moisture and serve as a shelf.

Which natural stone for indoor and outdoor window sills?

Indoor window sills

The indoor window sill mainly protects the wall below the window and serves as a decorative shelf, usually for house plants. With the right material you can considerably enhance your rooms and give them a special touch. Indoors, our customers usually choose marble or granite. Both bring charm and elegance to the room, are very robust and easy to care for. Indoor natural stone window sills are usually 2 or 3 cm thick.

outdoor window sills

Outdoor window sills do a similar job. They also protect the facade from weather and dirt. Every window sill has a drip groove so that water and dirt do not reach the facade. Outdoors, granite is usually used. It is harder than marble and even more resistant to weather and mechanical damage. Outdoor natural stone window sills are usually 3 cm thick, although 2 cm is also possible.

Why we recommend natural stone window sills

Natural stone window sills have these advantages:

– They do not react chemically with water, sunlight and air.
– They leave no rust marks on the facade.
– Natural stone has no internal stresses and therefore does not warp.
– They are often cheaper than plastic window sills.
– They are extremely robust.
– They withstand frost, water, sun and any other weather.
