ᐅ Exterior window sills – aluminum or made from a facing brick layer

Hello everyone,

we were just asked what type of window sills we want.
Options: white aluminum or with a facing layer made of brick slips

About the house: 14 windows, white uPVC windows

What would you suggest? Pros and cons?

Counter question: What can you afford, and what do you prefer?

These are the two options available at no extra cost. There is also natural stone/granite available for an additional charge.

Visually, I find facing stone more attractive.

We have aluminum. I think it looks sleek. Ours is nicely matte as well. The important thing is that it is well manufactured and properly installed. If it doesn’t fit securely, it can get a bit noisy when it rains.

Facing layer made of what: clinker bricks, sand-lime bricks?

Are we still talking about this house https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundrissfrage-Grundstück-369qm-hausgroesse-9x9-Meter.17907/? – We don’t have views yet, or did I miss them?

White window sills with white windows—I’m not sure about that. Aluminum window sills stay looking better longer than uPVC windows, which I find most noticeable when they have the same color. For red clinker bricks, I would find natural brushed aluminum more suitable (though only to some extent if the mortar is white).

Tell us more about the exterior; it’s hard to answer this in isolation.

Facing layer made of brick slips, specifically clinker bricks
Yes, this is still partly from the house, the external dimensions have changed to 9.62 x 9.58 meters (31.6 x 31.5 feet).
I am currently at work and don’t have any pictures of the elevations here.
The clinker bricks are these:
The joints will be filled with light (light gray) mortar.
