Cills
Manufactured in OPC Grey Precast concrete C40 and colour reconstructed stone C45 wet cast
Coping, cills, and thresholds are important architectural elements used in construction projects to provide a finishing touch to the exterior and interior of a building. They serve both practical and aesthetic purposes, such as providing protection against the elements, preventing water ingress, and enhancing the appearance of a structure.
Cills are the horizontal ledges at the bottom of a window opening, typically made of stone, concrete, or brick. They are designed to provide support for the window frame and to prevent water from entering the building through the window opening. Cills can also be used as a decorative feature, with a wide range of styles and materials available to complement any architectural design.
Cills can be made from a variety of materials, including natural stone, precast concrete, and brick. Each material offers its own unique benefits and aesthetic appeal. For example, natural stone cills are highly durable and provide a classic, elegant look, while precast concrete cells offer a more cost-effective solution without compromising on quality or appearance.
