Therefore, the design of the window sill is simple and reliable.
The very first window sills were of "wooden" origin. The annual spring coloring of their smelly enamel revived the former spectacular appearance, but not for long. If not to say that until as long as someone accidentally does not put a hot iron on the surface of the window sill. Naturally, in the interior of the apartment, such window sills played no role and were used exclusively as an extra shelf for domestic plants.

The following materials are used for the production of window sills:
• tree
• PVC
• fake diamond
• wood-polymer composition.
Technologically, certain quality characteristics are imposed on the design of window sills:
• geometric dimensions and weight
• stability of geometric shape during operation
• resistance to mechanical stress (impact resistance, heat resistance, light fastness and fire safety)
• useful life.
Familiar and beloved PVC window sill
PVC window sill is a plastic window board with a width of 500 mm. and up to 6 m long with two capnos and end caps.
