Before there was ever concrete in Irish houses , there was natural stone window cills. Looking at old houses you will see the traditional limestone window cill. In the past few years there has been a revival in the use of natural stone for window cills again. They add value to a house , look very comtemporary and are maintenance free.
With advances in diamond cutting technology , natural stone building products are more affordable than ever.
We work with individuals building their own one off houses as well as housing developers building on a larger scale.
We can make cills to order with a typical 3 to 4 week leadtime. Be it curved , angled or just plain straight we will make to suit.
There are a variety of finishes that can change the texture and colour of the stone. Cills can be sanded , blue honed, punched , combed , bushhammered or pitched.
A visit to our Stradbally show rooms shows the full display with all the various finishes.
Window jambs and heads can also be made in limestone as per a customers requirement.
Cills can be made to order. Maximum Length is 2700mm. Any cill longer can be made in two pieces.
