We are slowly getting into the details for the terraces and the transition from the house to them.
Concrete step slabs seem to be the common cost-effective solution, if I understand correctly.
As an alternative, I’ve come across slip-resistant aluminum window sills, but I’m not sure what to think of them.
Are there any significant advantages or disadvantages?
I imagine aluminum might be easier to install and handle, especially since my window and balcony door widths are about 2 meters (6.6 feet). I don’t think concrete step slabs are usually available that wide, so I would have to join them, which I don’t find very appealing visually.
However, I’m unsure about how aluminum would heat up in direct sunlight and what that would mean for walking barefoot.
Or should I go for a natural stone window sill instead?
