The common truth says that there are no trifles in construction and design and cannot be. At first glance, the most insignificant nuances and details are important, without which it is impossible to achieve complete harmony. Take window sills and slopes, for example. It seems that it doesn't matter what they will be, the main thing is the window, not its "frame". Let me tell you that this is not the case.

To begin with, not only when installing window blocks in a new house, but also when replacing wooden frames, window sills have to be changed. Wooden or concrete windowsills, traditional for typical housing, are not suitable in size.

The choice of window sills in the construction market is huge. Where to stop? The window sill must be strong, durable and fit into the design project of the room. At one time, chipboard window sills were widely used. But they had a "disease" traditional for this capricious material: if even a small crack formed and moisture got into it, the windowsill "swelled". Another thing is window sills made of artificial stone, the strength and reliability of which is beyond doubt. Here the advantage of artificial stone over natural is manifested in the best possible way: it remains warm, even when there is a bitter frost outside the window. Window sills made of natural stone freeze themselves at low temperatures, and few people will like it.

However, the greatest demand in recent years is still used by plastic window sills made of first-class rigid PVC coated with a special hot-melt film. And this is understandable. The special design of the stiffeners provides them with extreme strength, they do not allow moisture to pass through, they are resistant to fire, temperature extremes, sunlight, retain their color even with active exposure to ultraviolet radiation, do not require additional painting and special care. Finally, they don't scratch. Having installed such a window sill, you don't have to worry that the plastic is deformed under the rays of the sun or that circles from vases and flower pots will appear. You can safely get up on the windowsill to wash the glass, without fear that the plastic will bend or crack. By the way, the color palette of the coating is wide: from traditional white to "marble", "beech "," golden oak "and" mahogany ". The designer has plenty to choose from. However, even this today is by no means the limit of possibilities. Plastic window sills, on which the melamine film is applied, have even higher quality indicators. what conditions (meaning, of course, living conditions), do not fade, are absolutely not afraid of moisture and microorganisms. Therefore, they can be installed in any premises - from industrial facilities to baths. If for the sake of experiment, for the sake of extinguishing a cigarette on a melamine window sill, or with effort on its surface with a sharpened knife - there will be no traces, and there will be no stains from spilled aggressive liquids such as alkali.

If for the sake of experiment, for the sake of extinguishing a cigarette on a melamine window sill or with an effort to drag a sharply sharpened knife along its surface, there will be no traces. There will be no stains from spilled corrosive liquids such as alkali. However, this is by no means the limit of possibilities today.

Originally, the plastic windowsills were supplied by the Belgians. Market analysis shows that recently Russian products have also become in demand. She meets European standards and at prices quite successfully compete with foreign samples. However, there is one caveat. If window sills with hot-melt film are offered in different colors, as in the West, melamine ones are still only white. The production of melamine in color is a matter of the very near future.

But high-quality slopes are still made only by Belgians. Belgian slopes are not affected by ultraviolet radiation, they allow you to insulate the window opening, protecting it from condensation and freezing. They can be installed with any window system and can be installed at an angle exceeding 90 degrees. Aesthetically strict forms of the slopes allow you to give the window opening completeness and organically "fit" it into the room.

It is not difficult to establish slopes, and if you have the skill, after consulting the employees of a specialized company, you can do it yourself. But in order for the window, and the window sill, and the slopes to be assembled professionally, with a quality guarantee, it is best to entrust their installation to specialists, whose services you will definitely be offered in a company that sells such products.
