ᐅ Should interior window sills be installed before or after the interior plaster?

We would like to have interior window sills made of natural stone installed. Normally, window sills are measured after the windows are installed and then fitted before the interior plastering is done.

Unfortunately, the window sills have a very long delivery time, but the date for the interior plastering cannot be postponed.

I am hesitant to measure the window sills before the windows are in because I think there is too much that could go wrong.

What is the difference if I install the window sills after the interior plastering is already done? Is that possible? I have read that the appearance is different—can someone explain this to me?

How about sourcing your window sills from a different supplier? My stonemason delivers 5 window sills within 4 days.

Hmm, what material are yours made of? I’ve requested several (Juramarmor), and they all require at least 2 weeks.

I assume Jura marble is important to you!?

I would definitely want to take care of it beforehand, but in the end, that is up to each individual. I have already ordered my aluminum windows from Aluminium Systemtechnik GmbH, and they will be delivered and installed in the next few days. After that, it will take about another week before the interior plastering is done.

However, it is important to arrange this early, especially for special windows.

We also had our natural stone window sills installed within 1 week after our stonemason took the measurements.

EDIT: Oh, I just noticed this post is almost 2 months old. The window sills must already be installed by now.

Hehe, thanks anyway, we have installed them ourselves now (-:
