Window sills are horizontal ledges at the bottom of windows, typically made from sheet metal, that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. When incorporated into roofing and exterior cladding systems, they are designed to:
Functionality
- Drainage: Window sills made from sheet metal help channel rainwater away from the window and the building facade, preventing water from seeping into the structure.
- Protection: They protect the underlying wall and framing from moisture, especially in areas exposed to harsh weather conditions.
- Durability: Sheet metal sills resist corrosion, weathering, and physical damage better than some other materials, making them ideal for long-term use.
Aesthetic Integration
- Design Continuity: They can match the roofing and cladding materials, providing a seamless look that enhances the building’s exterior design.
- Custom Fabrication: Sheet metal window sills can be tailored to various styles, dimensions, and finishes, such as painted, powder-coated, or anodized, to suit the building’s aesthetic.
