We just got our delivery of terazzo for our loft bathroom. They do 30cm tiles. Then I imagine a good tiler could fit them. Tiles come with special sealer too.
They have a showroom but the tiles come from Morocco so can take a while.

Don’t really want tiles as the sill needs to be 2cm thick with a profiled edge and each section to line up with the windows so 1.25m long. you can just about see the join in the close-up pic.
Edit: actually they could be an option as a 60x60 cut might do it and they are 2.5cm thick. also a true terrazzo so the colour is all the way through.

Think i asked before but maybe in the DIY thread, I’m after any advice or reccomendations for a type of stone (granite/silestone/terrazzo?) and a supplier/fitter who can do interior windowsills.
lots of kitchen worktop places come up on google but none seem to mention windowsills.
basically we have a long 4.5 m window with an original 50’s terrazzo sill but as we are insulating the wall it doesn’t project far enough out into the room to have a neat edge so want to replace it with something 30cm deep to allow a few cm of insulation board and a 2-3 cm lip projection.
this will allow the fitting of secondary glazing at the mid point but with a useful sill for plants/eames bird/other TMH tat.
no idea if corian/silestone is ok to use? will get a similar greige colour and doesn’t have to be real terrazzo just some texture not plain.
If it’s not extortionate we might do the bedrooms too as they are wooden and not great condition.
anyone done something similar?
pic of window, not the actual window but it’s in the same block.
