MY PROCESS

Over time timber naturally is affected by the natural elements. 

Timber and its structure can soon be compromised by:

  • Unsuitable timber species used, as in untreated Douglas Fir (Oregon) or Meranti sills barely classed as a hardwood

  • Exceeding the life and durability of the timber

  • Wet & Dry Rot

  • Pests 

  • Poor design

  • Poor workmanship

  • Lack of regular protection

Today I cut out the affected section of timber, in order to laminate a new suitable wood in its place. My method is a long cut thus increasing the surface area needed to effectively for the glue to bond. The long cut disguises the join, once the joint is smoothed and blended.

The existing window sill is cut along the glass line and rebate. The old offending sill is removed and, after further removal of rot and its treatment, the new hardwood sill replaces the old. 

The sill is machined to the slope required and attached to the edge of the existing sill and glue bonded. The joint between is covered by its timber glazing bead fully silicone to the glass to prevent the ingress of water. The slight internal corners are applied with a hybrid polymer sealer to be painted with two coats of undercoat ready for your finish coat of paint.
