The Decorative Details of Window Sills

It will be necessary to use flashing in the wall if there is a crevice, cavity or air space in the window sill near the base of the wall. The flashing will become an important feature, as it will be the barrier that collects the moisture that may penetrate into the wall or window sill and carries it out of the exterior face of the wall, where it will form a drip.

The Importance of Drips and Weep Holes in a Window Sill Design

A drip, which is placed into a concrete wall, can be designed in different shapes, but it serves one main function and that is to prevent excess water from going back to the exterior surface of the wall. Basically, every window sill should have a drip. Weep holes also function the same way and they will allow excess water to channel out instead of accumulate, which could cause damage to the window sill and wall, and could be quite costly to have fixed. These features will help maintain the aesthetic beauty of the window sill and of your home.
