Window Sill Installation and repair services in Ottawa Ontario. Window sills have traditionally been part of the window structure since thousands of years ago and they play a significant role in the functionality of your window.
Window Sills have functions ranging from holding your window in place, decoration, and keeping water out. Window Sills being rigid at the bottom of a window protect the structural integrity of the window by ensuring that it does not flex up and down but only sideways.
On the other hand, water protection happens when the window sills lead water away from the wall hence securing walls from the damage that would have risen from direct contact with water.
Window Sills are basic but effective when it comes to the decoration effect. They can be used as holders for showcasing plants, candles, and pictures among many other pieces of décor. Furthermore, they can be used as standalone decors to break the monotony of a brick wall color or act as decorative extensions that come out of the wall.
