Hi
I'm about to get the windows replaced in my flat. The old window
sills are some sort of horrible red colour ceramic tiles.

Just wondering whether I should replace with the same kind of
material or is there something better for window sills?

Cheers,
Mark.


I assume inside the house?

Yup.


Wood, natural stone, tiles - it all works.

Depends on what its for. Decorative - use natural wood, but beware water
stains from vases and flower pots etc.

In bathrooms etc I lean torwads tiles - often over a ply base to get an
overhang..

IUve eben used melamine cip, glued down with bidy fller. Good and
practical, if ugly.

Worst of all worlds is painted softwood. Always warps :-)

Hmm, many of the other posts seem to recommend wood.
Maybe some kind of hardwood wouldn't warp?

I'm guessing in the bathroom that I'd need something more
durable cos of all the shampoo bottles etc that get left
there.

Cheers,
Mark.
