It perfectly withstands temperature changes, as well as various vagaries of weather, so these sills can be used not only indoors, but also outside. Secondly, natural granite and marble always have a unique, not repeating pattern. Marble is somewhat more rich in texture, and granite looks more strict. Therefore, granite sills designers recommend to use in living rooms, libraries, workrooms , but marble will perfectly fit in the interiors of bedrooms, bathrooms and children's rooms. Finally, a variety of colors and shades of natural stone allows you to choose the desired appearance of window sills for any interior.
