Metro Sill 70mm

Metro Sill 70mm Detail

Metro Sill 70mm

Designed especially (but not only) for use with weatherboards with facings. Suitable also for use with all the claddings listed under the slimline Sill to provide a more pronounced sill overhang detail.

However, when used in conjunction with 40mm Poly and 50mm thick plaster substrates such as Celcrete, the Metro sill provides a very small 5mm - 15mm overhang or a flush finish with the exterior face of the plastered cladding. This detailing achieves a streamlined effect between the sill and the cladding. If the sill is also powder coated to match or closely match the colour of the cladding, the sill achieves a more subtle detail blending in with the cladding as a shadow line.

Features

• Very strong 1.8mm thick extruded aluminium ensures no distortion.
• 50 year durability exceeds NZBC of 15 years.
• Aluminium grade T5 6060 well in excess of NZBC requirements.
• Powder coated to match or contrast with the window or door joinery.
• No painting required as all sills powder coated to suit or contrast with the window.
• Branz Appraised.

Benefits

• Includes all the 4 D's of classic flashing design i.e. Deflection, drainage, drying and durability.
• Expels moisture from the head and sides of windows and doors to exterior via the external extruded aluminium sill.
• The heavy duty sill supports the bottom of double glazed windows and doors overcoming the problem of sagging cantilevered joinery over the drainage cavity.
• Weathertight window and door installations even if the bottom mitres of the aluminium joinery leak when used in conjunction with the Flashman mitre soakers.
• Minimises external maintenance ie no more painting or patching up of plaster.
• Maintains deep look to windows and doors.
• Allows window cladding to be fitted with or without facings for a clean or traditional look.
