ᐅ Wood/aluminum windows with Helopal or aluminum exterior window sills (also called window ledges or window boards)?

Hello,

we have chosen wood-aluminum windows from Internorm. The exterior color will be RAL 7016 (Anthracite). The exterior windowsill is currently planned to be aluminum (also RAL 7016).

However, we are now considering switching the exterior windowsill to Helopal. It is said to look more high-quality, but what appeals to us more is that it is quieter in the rain. What are your thoughts on this?

And if Helopal, would you recommend—if available—sticking with RAL 7016 or choosing a neutral color that contrasts with the window?

Thank you

It doesn’t exist yet. Everything is still in my head. But it will likely be a light pale green (provided my wife doesn’t change her mind again).

But for the first step, the first part of the question is more important to me anyway. Helopal or aluminum? Just considering the material itself. What are the advantages and disadvantages?

I have never experienced noise on a windowsill caused by rain in my entire life. Neither with aluminum (just recently installed – no roof overhang at the gable ends), granite, or anything else.
When correctly installed, you don’t hear anything on aluminum.

Well, I have the "noise" of raindrops on an aluminum window sill. I wouldn’t choose that again.
