ᐅ Interior Window Sills – What Depth or Overhang Is Recommended?

Hello,

I was working away from home this week and stopped by the construction site briefly this evening.
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
The main contractor installed the interior window sills, but they protrude by at least 10 cm (4 inches), and probably around 8.5 cm (3.3 inches) after plastering.
Isn’t that unusual nowadays?
That was common practice in the past when you needed to hide radiators underneath.
Now all the issues begin, but surely it can’t stay like this, right?

Best regards,
Daniel

You could fit some nice large flower pots on there. Really old school style.

That's true, but I still don’t get it.
I’m really angry.

It is too wide. That is a fact. You should complain about that.

Yes, but I’m already familiar with the discussion.
We have always done it this way.
I also can’t follow the line of reasoning.

Best question: What was discussed or agreed upon?

Wide has something. But that really looks unusual for you.
