Advantages of PVC window sills and differences from wooden ones

Recently, the volume of sales of PVC window sills has increased, which are gradually displacing window sills made from natural materials from the market. Their price is an order of magnitude lower, and their quality is an order of magnitude higher than similar products made from wood and chipboard. If you started a renovation and decided to replace the window sills in your house or apartment, then you naturally faced the question of which window sills are better: “Wooden or plastic?” According to experts, the main advantage of plastic window sills over wooden and chipboard window sills is their resistance to moisture and temperature. Natural materials, unlike composites, are less practical and less durable; they are more prone to deformation. The design of the stiffening ribs provides the PVC window sill with extreme strength and rigidity, resistance to impacts and scratches, which allows it to maintain its shape for many years. The main feature is an anti-corrosion coating that protects the window sill from exposure to ultraviolet radiation, sunlight and various liquids. PVC window sills do not require additional painting, varnishing, sanding, or special care; they do not fade or turn yellow and will retain their original color for many years. Thanks to their multi-chamber design, they are quite strong, rigid, have good heat-insulating properties, are flame-retardant and durable.

If you think that PVC window sills will look unaesthetic, then this is far from the case. Externally, plastic models differ little from other types of window sills. On the front side, a decorative pattern is applied to the smooth surface to suit your taste and color. The color range of laminated PVC window sills is quite wide and allows them to be used in any interior. In addition to classic white, you can choose PVC window sills imitating marble and wood. The design is protected from mechanical damage, ultraviolet radiation and moisture by a layer of glossy or varnish coating.

Plastic products are easy to maintain. Their surface does not have pores, so bacteria do not accumulate on it and cleaning does not cause much trouble. You can use any detergent except abrasive ones.

Plastic window sills are installed very easily and without the use of special tools. All materials from which PVC window sills are made have environmental certificates and are absolutely harmless to human life. PVC is a clean and safe material used for food packaging.
