Product Information

Full details

The Virtual Plastics Window Sill Capping Board is an ideal solution for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to renovate dated or damaged interior window sills without the labor-intensive process of a full replacement. By capping over existing sills with high-quality, durable uPVC, it provides a clean, moisture-resistant finish that requires virtually no maintenance, though it does require precise measuring and cutting to ensure a perfect fit against existing window frames.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this board outdoors?

This product is primarily designed for interior use as a decorative and protective capping for window sills.

What tools do I need to install it?

You will need a measuring tape, a fine-tooth saw for cutting the board, and a suitable construction adhesive for bonding.

How do I clean the capping board?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid scouring pads or harsh chemicals which may damage the surface.

Does this come in other widths?

Yes, Virtual Plastics offers various widths including 100mm, 125mm, 225mm, and 300mm to accommodate different window types.

Can I paint the boards?

The boards come with a high-quality, pre-finished white surface that does not require painting, and painting is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Board is loose after installation

Ensure the original sill was completely dry and free of dust before applying the adhesive; re-apply using a fresh bead of construction adhesive.

Board edges do not sit flush

Check if the original window sill has uneven paint buildup; sand or scrape away high spots before attempting to cap the surface again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure the existing window board is clean, dry, and structurally sound. Measure the width of your current sill carefully to confirm the 175mm board will provide adequate coverage. Use a fine-tooth saw to cut the board to the desired length. For the best result, use a high-quality uPVC-compatible adhesive or high-tack construction sealant to bond the board to the existing sill. Apply pressure until set. Once installed, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive detergent to maintain the bright white finish; avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could scratch or dull the plastic surface.
