Best Window Sill Filler
Hi Guys
Something and nothing really! Can anyone recommend a filler for a gap between the back edge of an MDF sill and uPVC window frame please? Gap varies from 1 to 3 mm. I am looking for a filler that will be long lasting (obviously) and overpaintable. Not too struck on using uPVC filler strip, but would consider this if filler is simply not going to provide long lasting solution TIA Phil |

Use a wooden filler strip and paint/stain to match. For 3mm you could use a quadrant or round nose strip. MBQ |

There's 2 white ones he http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/sea/...dyncharset=UTF -8&q=frame+sealant -- fred |

Thanks to all
It's either the quadrant bead or the frame sealer. Sounds like one of those major life changing decisions that only SWMBO can make. Phil |
