What is the difference between installing a window sill from plastic?

When replacing old windows, frames and window sills are also dismantled. Before installing a new window sill, it will be necessary to correctly calculate its dimensions. It is better to make it in the factory by exact measurements. Its length should be greater than the width of the window so that it enters the walls, and the width depends on the depth of the window opening.

The modern market offers a huge selection of various window sills. You can use the table top. This is a great option for a kitchen or dining room. To the wooden windows the window sills are the same. When installing windows from PVC, plastic analogs are often used. You can choose any variation, even marble. True, installing a window sill made of marble will require not only considerable effort, but also additional financial resources. But the stone will give a special color to the whole interior. When planning to renovate your apartment, try to immediately consider which material is more suitable for you.

Installation of the window sill, first of all, depends on the size of the opening and the overall design of the room. If the thickness of the wall is small, a maximum of 100-200 mm, then there is no point in inventing something. It is more suitable for mounting flush or with a small outlet on the sides (5 cm). Sometimes a single window sill is installed under several windows. It is convenient in a small room, you can make the most of space.

If you plant flowers, then more models will be required. With thick walls, this is quite feasible. Installation of a window sill in this case does not require much effort. Worse, if the walls are narrow, and you want to have a wide platform. If the window board protrudes from the wall by more than 100-150 mm, then a special fastener is required to fix it. Depending on the length of the opening, 2 or more brackets are used.

It is quite possible to install the window sill with your own hands, if the openings are small. The easiest way to do this is to use plastic or a countertop. They are easily processed, which allows you to do any drinking. Having measured the opening in depth, determine the width of the future window sill. If the window is mounted, then take into account the ledge of the window board (whether it will close the heating battery).

If you are staying on a plastic version, pay attention to the quality of the coating. Savings can later be replaced by a window sill. Foreign manufacturers use high-quality moisture-proof coating. Some products can withstand even quenching cigarettes on their surface (there will be no trace left). Russian manufacturers, of course, are inferior in quality, but their products are much cheaper.

The installation of a plastic window sill is simplified if it is used with a metal-plastic window. A special groove, where the PD is inserted, fixes it, and the window itself is clamped. Further installation depends on the opening. Usually it is enough to create a pillow from the mounting foam, put a window sill on it, and fix it on the sides with slopes. All these works are carried out qualitatively and quickly when ordering the window "on a turn-key basis".
