Hello everyone,
I am slowly approaching the decision regarding exterior window sills.
What are your experiences with aluminum, plastic (uPVC), or granite?
Rough or smooth surface?
What should I budget per m² (square meter)?
The location is western Münsterland, which I assume also plays a role in pricing.
Regarding the appearance: All our windows and doors are in RAL 7016, and we have very dark red glazed roof tiles. The house has a standard roof overhang and a dark red brick façade with some dark gray stones mixed in.
If desired, I can gladly upload pictures of the house.
Thank you all for your help!

I have also only had bad experiences with aluminum; it doesn’t look very good either.
We also want to use brick cladding, and I will make the window sill out of bricks (rolled brick course, although I haven’t quite understood what the rolling refers to).
Whether to use a rolled brick course or natural stone for the exterior is more a matter of personal preference, I think.
In the Münsterland region, there are quite a few existing buildings with brick cladding. Take a look at several with natural stone sills and others with rolled brick courses, and decide which you prefer.
