A window sill, also called a stool, is a ledge at the bottom of a window inside a house. In an older home it can be damaged by moisture caused by condensation, so it may need to be replaced. If a house is built without that ledge, installing a new one provides protection and adds a stylish detail to the window. That addition can be a nice upgrade to a room that otherwise doesn’t have much appeal or architectural accents.
We found vinyl sills installed with adhesive, which are designed in two styles: one is a straight cut design, and the other wraps around the sides of the wall, giving it a custom look. The profiles are either classic or contemporary. At the manufacturer’s website, www.sill-rite.com, you can learn about the different styles, how to measure a window for a new sill and what’s involved installing one.
