Surface treatment of window sills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When selecting a surface treatment for a window sill, the focus is primarily on its aesthetic appeal. Unlike kitchen worktops, window sills do not experience the same level of wear and tear, which opens up more options for surface treatments that may not be suitable for a worktop. For instance, a planed surface is an excellent choice for a windowsill since the risk of exposure to acids and moisture is lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re uncertain about which surface treatment to choose, we’re here to help you make the right decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Window sill formats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Borghamns Stenf\u00f6r\u00e4dling, we focus solely on primary stone and do not use any reinforcements. We honor the natural cracks in our bedrock and adjust our production accordingly. This respect for natural features, combined with our quarrying techniques, enables us to extract the most significant blocks permissible under the bedrock. Consequently, the size of these blocks determines the maximum length and width of our stone slabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your project requires larger slabs, we are more than happy to help by suggesting ways to split them.<\/p>\n<\/div>
