Wood is the traditional material for window sills, but today, manufacturers also make them out of stone and synthetic materials like PVC. There are even marble window sills and concrete window sill projects. Your customers may choose a wood window sill for a touch of classic charm, a stone sill for a bit of elegance or a PVC sill for its durability. Whether you're constructing new houses or you cater to those in real estate via a home improvement store, stock wood, stone and synthetic window sills to cater to different tastes.

Window sills are a finishing touch for every room. While narrow sills are aesthetically pleasing, wide window sills boast an added function of a place to showcase plants or collectables. The style along with a plain square or a detailed edge complements the depth of the window sill. Narrow, wide, square and decorative window sills are good to keep in stock for every type of customer.
