The market can offer a huge range of window sills from domestic and foreign manufacturers. The popular models presented differ in characteristics, material of manufacture, color palette, functionality, and appearance. Which one is better to buy depends on many factors. The best manufacturers are not afraid to experiment to satisfy the needs of the most demanding customers. Products on sale include glossy and matte, straight and curly. New products are released every year. Most fixtures are made to order.

What materials are there for making window sills for plastic windows?

Manufacturers use both natural and artificial materials when making products. All of them are distinguished by durability, wear resistance, reliability and practicality. Let's look at the list of the main ones:

Official website of the group of companies

Profile Vitrage V.5

Although the logo of the site vitraz.ru contains the words “Group and “Window Systems”, it only says window sills.

LLC "Windows" Vitrazh "has its own website https://www.okna-vip.ru/.

The production company was only able to find a Twitter page: https://twitter.com/Vitrage_profile. Please register and contact us!

With such a rather modest and disjointed representation on the Global Network, the group of companies has a lot of competitors for a sonorous and meaningful name. These are different kinds of enterprises with the names “Stained Glass”, “Stained Glass Plus Windows” and even “Windows-Stained Glass”. That is, the difference in names sometimes consists only of a hyphen.

Stained glass windows

In part, these companies are not even engaged in glazing, but in various technologies for creating stained glass windows on PVC windows. In particular, by sticking a film imitating stained glass on the window.

Oddly enough, but companies that make stained glass in plastic windows in this way are distributed mainly in the provinces. Apparently, Muscovites have already become so rich that they can order real stained glass glazing for their windows.

If we are talking about stained glass, then there is an article about them on our website “Stained Glass and Stained Glass Windows!” An article about stained glass windows tells how to insert stained glass into a double glazed window. Read about how stained glass windows are created by simply sticking a film onto glass here: https://oknanagoda.com/steklo/o-pljonkakh-na-okna -vitrazhnykh-samokle.html

We will also not list sites with similar URLs, including different variations of the Latin spelling of the word “stained glass”: vitraj, vitrazh and the like. What's most surprising is that two URLs with the correct spelling of this word - vitrage.su and vitrage.biz - are taken, but the most attractive domain name vitrage.ru is free!

Design ideas

Window sills are not only the completion of a window structure, but also expanded functionality. They can be used as additional furniture, saving money. In the kitchen, this is a place to place a dining area and work surface. Below there is a lot of free space for legs or for a small cabinet, as well as household appliances.

In a bedroom or children's room, the product can serve as a comfortable desk or play area. It is advisable to make the structure wide and make holes in it for ventilation. Can be further strengthened with legs or brackets.

You can often find sofas under the window. Then the distance from the product to the back should be at least half a meter. You can make the product large enough to fit a children's mattress, pillows and blanket. This will allow you to turn an ordinary window sill into a children's favorite play corner.

Often, window sills are decorated with fresh flowers, figurines, and soft toys. Beautiful and thick drapes or curtains will help complement the interior.

Approximate prices

The cost of stained glass products depends entirely on the width of the products. In addition, prices may not differ much from region to region throughout Russia. But in general, we can outline the average prices:

Whatever the choice of buyers, in any case, this finishing material will perfectly complement the interior style of the room. In addition, high performance characteristics will make the use of the structure long-term and comfortable.

What to pay attention to when determining parameters

A window sill is a multifunctional thing. It is important to choose the right material and install the structure professionally. To do this, you need to decide on the dimensions. The main parameters of any three-dimensional object are length, thickness and width. To correctly determine the length, you need to measure the window opening and add 6 to 10 centimeters to the value. The board must extend beyond the vertical slope.

The width of the product is determined based on the depth of the window opening. You need to add 3 or 5 centimeters to protrude beyond the edge of the wall. A large allowance cannot be given. Otherwise, it will not allow the air from the battery to rise freely. Condensation will appear. Not far from the formation of mold and mildew.

How to choose the right model

The opinion that window sills are only an element of aesthetics is completely wrong. They are a necessary attribute of a window system. Perform the following tasks:

• protection of the room from the penetration of cold air;
• ensuring a favorable microclimate at the site.

Everyone's selection criteria are different. Some people prefer expensive natural materials, others are satisfied with budget options, and others take environmental safety seriously. Which company is better to buy products depends on personal preferences. Experts recommend that when choosing a product, you should carefully consider the following nuances:

1. Material of manufacture. Much depends on the person’s financial situation and the existing design. Plastic is cheaper. Not afraid of high humidity. It is not afraid of deformation and mechanical damage. However, it loses respectability to natural stone, which emphasizes the richness and sophistication of the room.
2. Appearance. Plays a big role. During the purchase process, you need to carefully inspect the structure from all sides for scratches, chips, and so on.
3. Sections. The quality of the ends should not be overlooked. Plastic models must be equipped with stiffening ribs, which give the product increased strength and resistance to significant loads. The more often they are installed, the better the model.
4. Installation method. There are several options - using an adhesive base or cement. Wood structures are highly hygroscopic, so they are not recommended to be laid on a wet surface. Such panels are mounted using brackets. You can use polyurethane foam as a gasket.

Plastic windows "Stained glass"

ServiceCenter LLC produces two models of window profiles on the Russian market: “Stained Glass” V.3 and V.5. The main characteristics of these structures are summarized in the table:

PVC profile Vitrage V3

A characteristic feature of Vitrage windows is a rolled ThermoContour , Palitra designer lamination, which includes a film in more than 30 colors, a glossy white profile or a profile tinted in the mass. The Vitrage V.5 profile has increased heat and sound insulation. Designed for a service life of 45 years.

Both profile systems correspond to class “A” (the highest) according to GOST 30673-99 for windows with plastic profiles.

Components and accessories

To install the window sill, you need to purchase additional components. Where can I buy them? The best ones, according to buyers, are sold in specialized retail outlets selling equipment for construction and repair. You can order online in the online store. The main thing is to get the desired product, and not a cheap fake from the Middle Kingdom of dubious quality. What do you need to buy to install a window sill? The list is small:

1. Moldings-planks. Close the gaps between the window frame and the window sill. They add aesthetics to the appearance and prevent cold air from entering the room from outside.
2. End caps. They are installed on the ends of the window sill, covering unsightly places. The most popular are plastic elements. There are glued versions covered with laminated film.
3. Brackets for fastening. Special brackets made of durable metal, designed to connect the window sill to the bottom of the wall after it is installed in the window opening.
4. Connectors. Sold longitudinal and angular. They look like planks. Helps lengthen the structure.
5. Lattices. Decorative grids. They crash into the window sill board. They allow hot air coming from the battery to pass through.

Window from Stained Glass Window

The company “Windows “Stained Glass” is based in the Solnechnogorsk district of the Moscow region and is engaged in the installation of plastic windows and window sills. Plastic windows – Rehau and KBE. Among the window sills, Crystallit is called “domestic production”.

The company's affiliation with the holding can only be judged by the fact that the electronic mailboxes of the company's employees are registered on the domain name vitraz.ru. Such a characteristic spelling of the French word (instead of the implied vitrage.ru) is typical for IT specialists of this particular group of companies.
