Window Sills in Kenya

Window Sills in Kenya.
What Purpose Does a Window Sill Provide?
-Window Sills serve a variety of purposes and functionality
-Structural Integrity. The rigid sill on the bottom helps eliminate flexing to support the structure
-Improved Energy Efficiency. Provides barrier for thermal insulation to be installed
-Water Protection. Protects the wall and leads water away from the building when it rains and not into your home
-Decorative Space. Showcase plants, pictures, candles, etc.
-Without the window sill, the window, wall and floors inside the home would all become water damaged.
-Window sills also play an important role in the functionality of the window. By providing a stopping place for the lower rail of the window, the sill effectively holds the sash in place when the window is closed.
In other words, a window without a window sill would not be a window at all. Window sills have been a traditional part of all windows for thousands of years. In fact, window sills go back to Egyptian times. They are basic, but effective.
