ablakpárkányról

Ablakpárkány is a Hungarian term referring to a window sill or ledge. It is the horizontal architectural element that extends from the bottom of a window frame, both on the interior and exterior of a building.

Internally, the ablakpárkány typically serves as a decorative surface or a functional ledge. It can be made from various materials such as wood, marble, granite, or engineered stone. Many homeowners use interior window sills to display plants, decorative items, or books. The height of the ablakpárkány from the floor can vary depending on architectural style and preference.

Externally, the ablakpárkány, often referred to as an exterior window sill, plays a crucial role in protecting the building's facade. Its primary function is to direct rainwater away from the window and the wall below, preventing water damage, staining, and erosion. Exterior sills are usually sloped downwards and outwards and often have a drip edge to further facilitate water runoff. Common materials for exterior ablakpárkány include stone, concrete, metal, or treated wood. They can also contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of a building, complementing the window style and facade design. The proper installation and maintenance of both interior and exterior ablakpárkány are important for the longevity and appearance of a building.
