Description
Reclaimed Sandstone and Limestone Sills- Antique
Reclaimed Sandstone and Limestone sills offer strength, history and natural character to any architectural or landscape project. These antique pieces once sat beneath windows in manor houses across the UK. Now rescued from disrepair, they are ready for reuse in new contexts. Consequently, each sill shows the marks of age—moss, lichen, discolouration and weathered chips all speak of years exposed to the elements.
The design is classic. A square-cut base supports the opening, with a slight bevel and subtle overhang to shed water. This style has been used for centuries in traditional buildings. Sandstone and limestone are both excellent materials for this purpose. They cut cleanly, resist weathering and age beautifully. Moreover, their natural durability ensures they remain strong, even after decades in use.
When installed in period property repairs, reclaimed Sandstone and Limestone sills bring immediate authenticity. Indeed, their aged surfaces blend seamlessly with older stonework, avoiding the stark contrast of new material. Each sill is unique, shaped by time and wear. As a result, that variation adds depth and interest wherever they are used.
Outside the home, these reclaimed sills make practical and beautiful garden features. Use them as low retaining walls for beds, borders or lawns. Furthermore, their weight and thickness give lasting structure that wooden sleepers can’t match. Alternatively, space them around the garden to create informal seating areas or boundary markers. Visually, they sit naturally in the landscape, gradually blending into their surroundings.
Environmentally Beneficial
Choosing reclaimed Sandstone and Limestone sills also supports sustainable building. Reuse reduces waste and keeps quality materials in circulation. It avoids unnecessary quarrying and supports a more thoughtful approach to design and construction.
Reclaimed Sandstone and Limestone sills don’t just serve a function—they carry history. Their weathered surfaces and natural textures connect past with present. Whether restoring a window or shaping a garden, they bring lasting quality and distinctive presence.
