Hello everyone,

I would like to have interior window sills with a shadow gap in my house. Originally, I wanted to use "Helopal linea," but both my plasterer and carpenter advised against it. They said that installation on plastered walls is extremely difficult and they cannot guarantee a clean result.

So, I started looking for alternatives. I came across interior window sills with pre-assembled shadow gap profiles. According to my carpenter, installing these should be straightforward. However, I am skeptical about the HDF material they are made of. My clear preference would be cast marble.

Therefore, my question is: Does anyone in the forum know where I can get the type of shadow gap profiles shown in the attached picture? Or does anyone know of a similar product made of cast marble with pre-assembled profiles?

Many thanks!
Clemens

But Helopal. As far as I know, they offer accessories or profiles specifically for this shadow gap.
That is correct. However, as described above, the Helopal system seems to be problematic during installation. The issue is that the profile is supposed to be pre-assembled on the window sill.

Hello,

I am currently facing the same problem. May I ask how you ultimately resolved it?

Now I want to ask a simple question (I haven’t dealt with the topic of window sills at all yet, I just came across it today).

Personally, I would also prefer if the window sills did not protrude, but why do I need that shadow under the window sill? Can’t it be designed without it?

Doesn't the shadow gap quickly become a dirt trap?
