Marble window sills are produced in standard window lengths of 74”, 56” and 36”. Thickness of the marble can be 5/8” to ¾”. The depth of window sills can start at 3” wide and can range all the way up to 12” in one inch increments. So finding a window sill size should not be a problem.
Not only can you change the look of your window with a marble window sill, but you can also frame the entire window with marble. This is a great idea for interior or exterior windows. This can be done on your home or office building.
When it comes to choosing the decoration for a window, it can be plain and simple elegance or extravagant design. Simple basic marble trim can frame the entire window with the same color scheme as the window sill, matching or accenting any other colors in the room. Marble material is not only elegant in its appearance, but it is also long lasting and easy to maintain. In addition to marble, other stones such as granite, limestone and sandstone can be used for decoration.
There is a huge variety of design forms that are available to trim an entire window. Many pre-designed styles range from simple basic to elaborate fancy. The first step is to select the color accent you want in shades of white, cream, grey, brown or black. Be sure the color is the same for the window sill. Then you would select a profile of the design you prefer. The next step would be to choose the thickness and finally determine the dimensions for each window.
There are great businesses that offer ultimate sources for all of your marble, granite and stone needs. Often, these businesses will design, manufacture, import and distribute full lines of carved stone, decorative stone, building stone and memorial.
