Window-sills from artificial marble or granite are a good choice both for residential construction and workrooms.  

Comparison characteristics of artificial marble

 Window-sill material
Artificial marble is a composite material consisting of 85% natural marble aggregate and 15% polyester resin.

Window-sill measurements

• Window-sills are 18 and 25 ìì (±1%) thick;
• Window-sill length is up to 2900÷3000 mm (±1%). When the window-sill is longer, it is made of two parts which are later glued together butt-to-butt. As a result we get continuous solid window-sill.
• Window-sill width must be a number divisible by 5 (50 mm; 100 mm; 150 mm; ... up to 800 mm (±1%);
Customer decides about length and width of window-sill. Each window-sill is made according to requests of each customer individually.


Advantages of artificial marble:

Thermal stability

You can place a hot frying pan on artificial marble without any hesitation and harmful consequences. Mantelpieces are made from artificial marble.

Water resistance

Artificial marble has minimal saturation coefficient (the coefficient is less then that of natural marble on which stains of tea, fruit juice or shampoo may remain). Artificial marble is protected from stains because of its solid surface layer.

Strength

Artificial marble is stronger than natural marble. It has the same density throughout its volume. It is resistant to aggressive environment (acids, acetone, solvents, alkali etc).

Excellent aesthetic appearance

Nowadays production of window-sills from artificial marble offers a variety of surface finishes and colors – from plain white to virtually exact replication of natural stone. Such window-sills harmonize with the interior and emphasize on uniqueness of your house.

Artificial marble maintenance

Maintenance is very simple. You can clean or wash it with water or liquid detergent which does not contain any abrasive.

Time-proof color

Natural marble may become yellow in a couple of years, especially if it contains a lot of iron salt and the room is humid. Artificial marble is secure from such dangers since every grain of mineral is wrapped in polymer shell. Thus artificial marble does not interact with water and air.

Installation

Installation is performed using ordinary glue mixtures like “Termit” or “Ferozit”, construction foam and wedges or ordinary cement.

Reparability

Unlike natural marble, various defects of artificial marble surface (scratches, cracks etc.) are easily eliminated. Repair of artificial marble window-sill is a relatively easy task.

Warm to the touch

Artificial marble and products made of it are warm to the touch unlike natural marble, which is cold.

Hygienic

Artificial marble is a homogeneous and nonporous material. Natural marble is always porous and, therefore, it is not hygienic.

Inside window-sills made from artificial marble ensure high quality and reliability. A wide range of window-sill colors harmonizes with modern design; therefore artificial marble is a universal material for interior decoration.
