I am buying a new home. What are the benefits of having windows sill? Right now I am skipping this considering cost-cutting. If I know the real benefits of it and if this is something that can't be done later then I'll re-think it. Please help me.
Thanks James. That may be technically correct. I believe they are use interchangeably. The company manufacturing them is called sill rite. And is selling these branded as window sills.
You and seven other people call it that. It’s a sill… that’s what I searched for and this is what came up! Thanks Poster keep teaching us how to replace the window sill
Thanks for saving me hours of trial and labor
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. So glad it helped!
Yes! You just saved me bro. Thx for the video! 🙋🏼♂️ 👐🏼
Happy to help!
Thank you definitely will do this!!
Thank you for watching and good luck with your project!
Great video I was calling it a window sill instead of stool, I removed it having trouble where to find new one stoo stool
Glad it helped! I believe they can be used interchangeably
“This is where the fun begins…”
Oh yes!
Nailed it 👍
Thanks 👍
What type of board did you get to replace it? Is there a special kind?
@@JordanWieber the board I used is called Siltech
Did you have a water leak around the window?
Yes there most definitely was
I would have pried it up a tad and used an oscillating tool to cut the nails off so I could pull the piece straight out.
Great idea. That would be a super clean way to do it
I don't have a compresser or finisher nail gun but I can get one it's easy
No need for a compressor and nail gun with this method!
what is the first tool you mention ? the handy seeks or something ?
Hi, thanks for watching. It is a 6 in 1 painters tool
@@DIYCollective Thank you!
@@dilangames7027 you're very welcome!
Hey, I'm going to be doing this to a window in my house soon, did you find what was causing the original water leak?
Hi Robert! It was just damage from condensation build up from normal wear and tear over the years. The windows were 25 years old
What if the sil is in a pre-war apartment building and painted in
@@colony7591 thanks for watching. I'm sure you can change it in any building. You may have to scrape those layers of paint away to break it free
How many videos follow this to complete the job? I feel like I missed one
Hi! There are 3 videos in total for the window sill repair

Hi Kumar, we are not actual builders/contractors but from what we have researched, window sills are a very important and necessary part of windows.
Our window sill is plastic and ive never seen a plastic one before
This should do the job for you!
My window sill is fitted to go under the dry wall on the sides, and is nailed 😔
You can still do it you will just have to pry it out and fix the drywall potentially after as I did. Hope you managed to get it replaced!
And some knee pads!
Haha yes! Definitely have some now :)
The apron? (the thingie on the bottom) can it be removed the same way as the sill?
Sorry for the delay in response! Yes, the apron can be removed the same way if needed
I believe what you removed was the stool, not the sill. Sorry 😞

Sorry but what you are working on is called a stool not the sill.
Thanks! That's right, I believe the terms are used interchangeably . The product is called silltech so i referred to it as a sill

tools drop on the hardwood floor nooooo
Ahhh yes noob mistake but the no major damage done
You destroyed the wall
Hi Ryan, thanks for watching . The sill and wall were already destroyed from water damage and needed repair.
Multiple videos. Advertising shilling more likely. Cost me 20 seconds!
Not at all. I was just trying to make it easier to find what part of the video is needed for others to do the job
