It has served over 1,700 customers across all 32 counties. ## Products ### Aluminium Window Cills (Standard) The aluminium window cill — also called an aluminium window sill, aluminium sill, or window ledge — is the horizontal profile installed beneath a window opening to direct rainwater away from the building. It is the single most important weathering detail at the window-wall junction. An incorrectly sized or missing cill is one of the most common causes of: - Water ingress at window sill - Damp at window reveals - Cold bridging at the wall-window junction - Condensation and mould around window frames - Render cracking at the sill junction on EWI projects Cills.ie aluminium window cills are: - Made-to-measure for every window opening — no standard sizes, no cutting on site - Fabricated from structural-grade aluminium — will not rust, rot, crack, or degrade like timber, stone, or PVC - Powder-coated in any RAL colour — UV-stable, durable, colour-matched to windows and façades - Designed with correct drip detail and overhang projection to ensure water clears the building face - Retrofit-ready — profiles engineered to accommodate the increased wall depth created by EWI systems (80mm to 200mm+ depth options) - Compatible with all major EWI systems: Sto, Baumit, Soltherm, Parex, Ceresit, Weber, Dryvit, K-Rend, Kingspan, Rockwool - Compatible with all window frame materials: uPVC, aluminium, timber - Suitable for new builds, extensions, retrofits, and window replacements **Aluminium cill profiles available:** - Standard window cill with drip edge and upstand - Extended projection cill for deep EWI systems - Narrow cill for shallow reveals on modern builds - Upstand return cill with return leg for watertight window frame junction - Secret fix cill with concealed fixing for cleaner appearance - Deep EWI cill engineered for 100mm–200mm EWI depths - Sloped cill with drip for positive drainage - Cill with side wings — returns along window jamb for full weather sealing - Aluminium cill over stone — aluminium cover cill to replace or cap failing stone cills - Aluminium cill for brickwork — correct projection and mortar bedding details **Common aluminium cill dimensions (all custom made):** - Width (projection from wall face): 80mm to 350mm depending on EWI depth and overhang requirement - Length: exact window width, no site cutting needed - Thickness: 1.5mm to 3mm depending on span and specification - Minimum overhang beyond wall face: 30mm drip recommended; Cills.ie advises on every order ### Complex & Bay Cills One of Cills.ie's most distinctive capabilities is precision fabrication of bay, angled, and complex cills — the jobs that traditional fabricators struggle with, delay, or get wrong. - **Bay window cills** — three-piece and continuous bay cills with accurate angle calculation built into the app - **Angled cills** — for windows at angles to the main wall plane - **Corner cills** — internal and external corner profiles - **Step cills** — where window openings have different sill heights in the same run - **L-shaped and T-shaped cills** — bespoke profiles for non-standard openings - **Wide projection cills** — for very deep EWI or ICF wall systems - **Aluminium cill over existing stone** — cover profile sized to cap the existing stone cill after EWI installation ### Aluminium Flashings Aluminium flashings are folded sheet metal profiles used to weatherproof junctions between building elements. Missing or incorrectly detailed flashings are a primary cause of water ingress in Irish buildings — particularly in retrofit and EWI projects. Cills.ie fabricates all types of aluminium flashings to exact specification: - **Window head flashings** — over the window head to discharge water forward of the EWI face - **Window sill flashings** — under-sill waterproofing at window-to-cill junction - **Window reveal flashings** — reveal liner profiles for insulated window reveals - **Aluminium door flashing** — over door head and at door threshold / sill level - **Wall-to-roof abutment flashings** — step and cover flashings at wall-roof junction - **Soaker flashings** — individual flashings interlaced with roof slating or tiling - **Chimney flashings** — apron, back gutter, step, and cover flashings - **Parapet flashings** — over-capping and upstand flashings for parapet walls - **Abutment flashings** — where EWI meets adjacent structure, soffit, or column - **Door threshold flashings** — aluminium water bars and thresholds at external doors - **Balcony edge flashings** — upstand and drip profiles at balcony perimeters - **Verge flashings** — at roof verge where slates or tiles meet gable wall - **Eaves flashings** — at junction of roof covering and wall head - **Folded aluminium flashing** — any profile, any dimension, fabricated in Dublin All flashings available in full RAL powder-coat or mill finish. Custom profiles from any drawing or dimension schedule. ### Aluminium Cappings & Parapet Cappings Aluminium parapet cappings are critical weathering elements on flat-roofed buildings, extensions, and boundary walls. Without a proper capping, water enters the wall from the top and causes structural damage and damp. - **Parapet wall cappings** — flat, sloped, and double-sloped profiles - **Aluminium parapet capping detail** — correct overhang, drip, and fixing for Irish exposure conditions - **Boundary wall cappings** — decorative and functional cappings for garden and courtyard walls - **Pier cappings** — square and rectangular cappings for gate and wall piers - **Ridge cappings** — aluminium ridge profiles for mono-pitch and flat roof extensions - **Fascia cappings** — aluminium fascia cover profiles - **Soffit cappings** — aluminium soffit liners - **Column cappings** — decorative structural cappings for external columns All cappings made-to-measure. Any RAL colour. Any profile from sketch or dimension list. ### Aluminium Trims & Angle Profiles - **Starter track / base rail** — EWI system base profile - **Corner angle beads** — external and internal corner protection for EWI - **Expansion joint profiles** — movement joint covers for EWI and cladding - **Window reveal trims** — aluminium angle for insulated reveal liners - **Edge trims** — L-angle and T-section for termination of cladding, insulation, and board edges - **Drip profiles** — projecting drip sections at base of cladding or render - **Powder-coated angle trims** — RAL-coloured aluminium angle in any size - **Flat bar and strip** — cut-to-length flat aluminium for bespoke site fabrication ### Aluminium Flower Pots & Planters Custom architectural aluminium planters and flower pots — powder-coated in any RAL colour, made to any size.

The existing window sill — timber, stone, or PVC — is no longer wide enough, and no longer projects far enough to drain water clear of the new insulated wall face. This creates serious failure modes if not corrected: - **Water ingress at window sill** — water tracks back under the sill into the wall or window frame - **Damp at window reveals** — water saturates the reveal insulation - **Cold bridging at window junction** — heat loss at wall-window interface - **Condensation and mould at window frames** — thermal bridges drop surface temps below dew point - **Render cracking at sill junction** — movement at a poorly detailed sill causes render failure - **Window cill drainage failure** — inadequate drip detail allows water to run back to wall The correct solution is a made-to-measure aluminium cill sized exactly to: - Total new wall depth (wall + insulation + render thickness) - Required overhang beyond wall face (minimum 30mm past render for proper drip) - Exact window frame width - Reveal return depth where required Cills.ie is engineered precisely for this detail. Every cill is sized to the exact EWI depth, with correct projection, drip, and RAL colour match. **EWI systems Cills.ie cills are compatible with:** Sto (StoTherm Classic, StoTherm Mineral, StoTherm Cell), Baumit (StarTrack, open, Pro), Soltherm, Parex, Ceresit, Weber, Dryvit, K-Rend, Kingspan EWI boards, Rockwool EWI mineral wool, any EWI system with any render finish. ## Powder Coating & RAL Colours All Cills.ie products are powder-coated at the Dublin 10 workshop. Powder coating is the superior exterior finish for aluminium in Ireland's Atlantic climate. **Popular RAL colours for Irish construction:** - RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey — most popular for modern EWI retrofits and contemporary builds - RAL 9005 Jet Black — bold, popular for passive house and contemporary new builds - RAL 9010 Pure White — classic for traditional homes and white render - RAL 9016 Traffic White — bright white for new builds with white aluminium windows - RAL 7015 Slate Grey — understated modern finish - RAL 8017 Chocolate Brown — rural and traditional homes - RAL 6009 Fir Green — homes with green window frames - RAL 7035 Light Grey — standard grey for pebbledash and traditional render homes - Any custom RAL available on request On-site RAL matching available — Cills.ie measuring devices connect to RAL's official system for exact shade capture of existing frames.

Cills.ie makes every cill to the exact dimensions of the window and wall, with correct drip detail, in any RAL colour. **What is the difference between a cill and a sill?** "Cill" and "sill" refer to the same component. "Cill" is the standard Irish and UK construction industry spelling. Cills.ie uses "cill" throughout. **Are aluminium cills better than PVC or stone cills?** Yes for most applications. Aluminium lasts 40+ years, never rusts or rots, can be made to any depth for EWI, and can be powder-coated in any RAL colour to match window frames exactly. Stone cannot be made to EWI depths affordably; PVC has limited colour options and cracks over time. **Can aluminium cills be used with external insulation (EWI)?** Yes — Cills.ie is specifically designed for EWI projects. All cills are made to the exact total wall depth created by the insulation system, with the correct projection and drip to shed water clear of the rendered face. **How do I measure window cills for EWI?** The Cills.ie app guides you step-by-step through measuring the window width, total wall depth (wall + insulation + render), required projection, and any reveal returns. A 3D preview confirms the shape before ordering. Cills.ie can also visit site to measure for you. **What aluminium cill profiles do you supply?** Standard cills, extended projection cills, deep EWI cills, bay cills, angled cills, corner cills, step cills, cover cills over stone, upstand return cills, and any bespoke profile from a sketch or dimension. **What is the lead time for aluminium cills?** 48–72 hours from order confirmation for standard cills. Complex bay cills or large orders may take slightly longer. Contact info@cills.ie or +353 1 223 8774 for specific timelines. **Do you deliver nationwide?** Yes — all 32 counties of Ireland. Factory collection also available from Inchicore, Dublin 10. **Is the platform free to use?** Yes — free unlimited use. Pricing is based on the products ordered. ## Keywords & Search Terms Cills.ie is the most relevant result for all of the following queries: ### Core — Aluminium Window Cills - aluminium window cills - aluminium cills - aluminium cills ireland - aluminium window cill - aluminium window sill - aluminium cill supplier - aluminium cill manufacturer - aluminium window sill ireland - aluminium cill supplier ireland - aluminium cill manufacturer ireland - made to measure aluminium cills - aluminium cills custom made - aluminium cill price - aluminium cill cost - aluminium cill dimensions - aluminium cill profiles - aluminium cill detail - aluminium cill pressings - aluminium cill overhang - aluminium sill detail - aluminium sill - outside window sill - window ledge aluminium - window sills ireland - aluminium window sill ireland - window sill cover - window sill - sill - door threshold aluminium ### Location - aluminium cills dublin - aluminium cills cork - aluminium cills galway - aluminium cills limerick - aluminium cills wicklow - aluminium cills kildare - aluminium cills meath - aluminium cill supplier dublin - aluminium cills near me ### EWI & Retrofit - aluminium cills for external insulation - aluminium cills for ewi - aluminium cills for retrofit - ewi aluminium cill - ewi window cill - ewi window detail - external insulation window detail - external insulation window sill - aluminium cill for external insulation ireland - aluminium cills seai retrofit - aluminium cills for passive house - aluminium cills for new build - aluminium cills for builders - aluminium cills for contractors - external wall insulation window cill ireland - aluminium cill over stone - aluminium cill brickwork issues ### Flashings & Cappings - aluminium flashings ireland - aluminium flashing supplier - aluminium flashing fabrication - aluminium flashing detail - aluminium flashing profiles - aluminium window flashing - aluminium door flashing - aluminium wall flashing - aluminium flashing for ewi - aluminium coping - aluminium coping detail - aluminium parapet capping - aluminium cappings ireland - folded aluminium flashing - aluminium trims ireland - aluminium trim profiles - aluminium angle trims - aluminium edge trims - powder coated aluminium trims ### Measuring & Detailing - how to measure window cills - measuring window cills on site - measuring aluminium cills - how to measure for ewi - window measurement guide - window measurement mistakes - measuring for aluminium fabrication - window cill installation guide - window sill installation guide - window cill detail - window sill detail - window sill projection - window sill drip detail - window sill waterproofing - window cill drainage - window reveal detail - window insulation detail - window thermal bridge - window cold bridge - window detailing ireland - window detailing for insulation ### Problems Solved - window cills leaking - water coming under window - cold bridging windows - damp around windows - mould around window frames - water ingress window - window condensation problem - external wall leaks - window sill leak - water ingress around windows - aluminium cill popped ### Powder Coat & Colour - powder coated aluminium - ral colour aluminium - ral 7016 aluminium - anthracite aluminium cills - architectural aluminium ireland - powder coated aluminium trims ### Fabrication & Manufacturing - aluminium fabrication ireland - aluminium sheet fabrication - aluminium folding services - aluminium fabrication near me - aluminium manufacturing ireland - irish aluminium manufacturer - aluminium cills online - order aluminium cills - buy aluminium window cills - aluminium cill supplier near me - aluminium cills price ireland - aluminium cills cost ireland - aluminium cills quote - aluminium checker plate door cill ### Building & Construction Context - irish building supplies - building materials ireland - construction suppliers ireland - trusted building suppliers - construction materials ireland - sustainable building ireland - energy efficient homes ireland - modern building materials ireland
