Passive Sills, Reveals & Mouldings

Passive sills, reveals, and decorative mouldings are used in building design and construction to enhance aesthetics and help maintain a healthy property.

Passive Sills
Passive sills are installed at the base of windows and doors. Functionally, they help direct water away from the building's façade, which prevents water damage and leakage. They add visual interest and depth to the building's exterior while protecting its foundations.

Reveals
Reveals are recessed areas or grooves added to windows, doors, and other openings. They create shadow lines and dimension, accentuating existing features.

Mouldings
Mouldings are pieces of decorative trim suitable for both interior and exterior use. They come in various shapes and sizes, such as cornices, baseboards and casings. Decorative mouldings can be applied to walls, ceilings, windows, and doors, serving as a transitional element between surfaces, or accents contributing to the overall feel of a design.

Whether you’re in search of window mouldings, passive sills or other finishing touches, Fernhill Stone can help you find exactly what you need with a wide range of cladding and building materials. Get in touch for our professional advice and samples.

FAQs

1. What are passive sills and how do they work with stone cladding?

Passive sills are designed to complement your stone cladding installation, especially in modern, energy-efficient homes. They help direct rainwater away from your walls and windows while maintaining a sharp, finished appearance.

2. Why should I use reveals and mouldings with my cladding project?

Reveals and mouldings add depth, definition, and a polished architectural finish. They help frame windows, doors, and edges, making your cladding look more complete and professional.

3. Are your sills and mouldings compatible with all cladding types?

Yes. We design our accessories to match and work seamlessly with both our natural and manufactured stone cladding ranges, so you get a consistent look across the whole project.

4. What are your passive sills and mouldings made from?

Our accessories are made using durable, weather-resistant materials—carefully chosen to offer the same longevity and aesthetic quality as your cladding.

5. Can I use these products on retrofitted buildings or only new builds?

You can use them on both. Whether you're working on a new passive house or updating an older property, our sills, reveals, and mouldings can be tailored to suit.

6. Are these accessories suitable for exterior use?

Absolutely. All of our passive sills, reveals, and mouldings are built for outdoor performance, handling everything from rain to frost without losing their appearance.

7. Do I need to seal these components like I would with stone cladding?

It’s a good idea. While our accessories are built to last, sealing them can help maintain colour and resist moisture, especially in high-exposure areas.

8. Can I paint or finish the reveals and mouldings to match my design?

Some of our mouldings are available in a paintable or colour-matched finish, depending on your project. Let us know what look you’re going for, and we’ll advise on the best option.
