Moeller window sills: advantages and disadvantages

Window sills are not just an element of a window opening on which you can lean on or put a vase with flowers. Aesthetic and properly selected window sill is also a component of the overall interior of the room. These functions impose certain requirements on the construction, which are fully met by Moeller sills from the German manufacturer.

Poet The company's history began in 1947, but real success came to Moeller’s products after the invention of the Lignodur material by employees of the company.

Lignodur is a unique blend of wood and plastic (PVC). For its creation, 30% of the natural wood component is used, and 70% of polyvinyl chloride - this combination allows to achieve the best technical characteristics of the material.

At the same time, plastic and wood components are securely fastened with adhesives without the use of formaldehydes.

Inside the firm windowsills are stiffening ribs that are one and a half times thicker than similar elements in competitors' products. This nuance also significantly improves the performance of structures.

Films are glued to each other and to the main structure of the window sill with modern environmentally friendly compounds.

Due to the use of unique technologies in the production of Moeller window sills have a lot of features and benefits.

• Ability to withstand increased loads. On such a window sill, you can calmly not only lean on and place the decor items, but also sit or stand (for example, if you need to hang curtains). The construction owes this ability to a reinforced stiffener.
• Preservation of a stable form under any conditions.The window sill does not deform even with temperature changes from -30 to + 75 ° С. And also, without prejudice to the form, it can withstand half-hour heating to 150 ° C. At the same time, it not only does not bend and does not change its geometry, but the laminated film does not swell or crack.
• Resistant to UV rays. Even after a long time, the sill surface does not fade and does not change its color.
• High moisture resistance, which allows the use of German window sills not only in living rooms, but also in the kitchen, bathroom, bath, sauna or on the veranda - where they will be exposed to regular moisture. They are also suitable for country cottages. Even if the cottage is not heated in winter, the window sills will not suffer from low temperature and dampness - they are treated with special impregnations to protect them from mold.

• Environmental Safety. The manufacturing process does not use any substances hazardous to human health and the environment. This aspect of the manufacturer pays great attention, as evidenced by numerous certificates.
• The high level of thermal protection, which provides both the material lignodur, and the presence of air chambers in the internal structure of the window sills.
• Aesthetics.Moeller products, imitating wood or marble surfaces with maximum precision, can not only complement any interior, but also become its highlight, a bright accent.
• Ease of care. Due to the nature of the material, such window sills are not afraid of household pollution, so there are no stains on them, and they do not turn yellow with time. They are also resistant to various chemicals, which allows the use of household chemicals during cleaning.
