We wish to use our window in front of our kitchen sink as a servery, can we install a bi fold window flush with our bench top including a wider than normal sill?
Typically kitchens are designed with a “splash back” or tiled “up stand” in front of any sink or trough to catch the water spray etc and to make cleaning up easier. By taking the “up stand” away and installing a bi-fold window flush with the bench top, can be achieved, but ultimately makes cleaning up a lot harder. We can increase the width of our bifold sill to incorporate a servery bench, however we recommend installing an independent bench, fixed to the under side of our sill extending both sides, sitting on an independent supportive structure. This independent bench we normally supply using the same material and edge profile as our sill, also placing a radius on each corner. This enables our copper weep holes to vent water build up in the bottom track and insures the bottom guides remain stable. For servery windows we also recommend retractable flywire screens For more information on flywire screens visit www.phantomscreens.com.
