Interior window sills - What depth or overhang?

2018-01-26 13:39:27

Well, with narrow stones there simply isn’t enough space to install the "usual" window sills of 20cm depth. Then it looks like it does with you.

But it seems to be something else if you have 36.5 as you say. Never mind. Get it corrected and that’s fine. A good builder will be willing to negotiate.

No, we also have narrow ones inside, still a decent window sill with about 2cm overhang. Unfortunately relatively narrow

Yes, it is then simply narrower than 20cm. As far as I know, the 20cm window sills are exactly the standard sills. In other words, they are installed by the wagonload.

But whatever...

Take a look at the picture by winnetou on page 1: the distance (see wall thickness) is standard nowadays, the material is also available in that depth!

Yes, of course that is available to buy. However, that does not change the fact that 20cm is more commonly used and installed on the left and right. Just like here. It looks suspiciously exactly like 20cm.

But as I said, it doesn’t matter.

So with us, they are all currently about 15-16 cm, with a 2 cm overhang.

I think your windows are really set far inside. Do you have a photo from the outside? Our windows are rather towards the outside, maybe 3-4 cm of masonry visible.
