The Eurocell Rounded Window Sill Cover Board excels at transforming tired or dated internal window sills into a pristine, modern finish. Its bullnose design seamlessly caps over existing sills, making it an excellent choice for cosmetic upgrades without the mess and cost of removal. In real-world applications, this board is particularly effective in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms, utility rooms, and kitchens where traditional timber sills might warp or rot. The uPVC material ensures that spills, condensation, and cleaning agents won't compromise its integrity or appearance. For example, a customer can easily cover a painted timber sill that shows signs of chipping or water damage, instantly providing a durable, wipe-clean surface. Its 9mm thickness ensures it adds minimal bulk while offering substantial protection and aesthetic improvement.
Measure: Accurately measure your existing window sill's length and width, considering any overlaps or angles.
Cut: Carefully cut the Eurocell cover board to size using a fine-toothed saw. Ensure clean, straight cuts for a professional finish.
Prepare Surface: Clean the existing sill thoroughly, ensuring it is dry, dust-free, and free of loose paint or debris.
Apply Adhesive: Apply a suitable adhesive (e.g., uPVC solvent cement or strong grab adhesive) to the top and leading edge of the existing sill.
Position: Carefully place the cover board over the existing sill, pressing down firmly to ensure good adhesion. The bullnose profile should wrap around the front edge.
Secure: Hold in place until the adhesive begins to set. You may use masking tape to secure it while drying.
Seal: For a completely waterproof seal, apply a thin bead of silicone sealant along any exposed edges, particularly where the board meets the window frame or wall.
This cover board is designed for internal window sills. Its uPVC composition makes it compatible with both dry and high-humidity environments, suitable for covering various existing sill materials like timber, stone, or older uPVC sills, provided they are structurally sound.
The uPVC material is low-maintenance. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. Its moisture resistance means it won't rot or swell, simplifying long-term care.
