Upgrade Home Finishes with Marble Window Sills

Marble window sills are used at the bottom of the window frame. Many windows have plain drywall, while some windows have a shelf made of wood or other materials. By replacing the material at the bottom of the window frame or adding a sill if none exists is an excellent way to upgrade the look of your home.

Marble window sills can add elegance to any and every room in your house. If you have marble kitchen counters and add marble window sills to your kitchen windows, you can carry this beautiful theme so much farther. You can keep the window sills the same size as the window, or you can expand the marble to set out from the edge of the window to create a shelf like area. You can then use this marvelous marble window sill to display kitchen decorations, such as cookie jars or beautiful bowls. The sill itself can even wrap around the corner of the ends of the window to create a larger sill area as well as a great finished look.

Marble window sills in the bathroom can carry on the same theme as your bathroom marble counter area around the sinks. These bathroom window sills can be made larger with depth and width to increase the bathroom storage space as well. Perhaps the floors or countertops of other rooms such as living rooms or bedrooms are made of marble, so matching the window sills is an excellent decorating choice.

Marble window sills come in white, grey, cream, brown and black. This stone is natural, so no two pieces of marble are going to match any other exactly. This is part of the beauty of marble. The natural and neutral colors of marble also make it a great complement to most any décor. Marble is durable and waterproof, but can be slippery when wet, so take caution. Using marble on interior windows is a good idea, while granite would be recommended for exterior windows due to its weight and structure.

If you are interested in installing marble window sills yourself, there are a few tips to remember. You will first of all want to take several measurements to be completely accurate in your planning. If holes need to be drilled, you will need a special drill bit. Cutting the marble takes a special saw with the right blades to make accurate cuts. Having marble cut by a professional is probably sound advice, as a cutting error could be very costly. If, however, you are able to find the color and size window sill to fit your current window, that would make installation a breeze.

There are many places to find pre-cut marble window sills in the dimensions you require. Specialty tile warehouses, flooring supply stores, or building supply stores generally carry marble window sills in a variety of colors and sizes to fit most windows. Whether you are custom cutting or find a pre-finished marble window sill, most decorators agree marble is a great choice.
