Can you paint over marble window sills.

On jun 20 2017. I m not sure if there s a way to bring the shine back to the marble but you can paint anything. Finish the surface of the sill with a paint or some kind of covering. Painting wood surfaces requires a bit of sanding and some specialized primer.

Then frame and build a new sill that will be the same thickness of the old sill so that the window will fit in the space. I am building a very contemporary home and the builder wants to put in marble window sills the traditional looking ones. Marble supply outlets and countertop shops will cut a sill to the correct width and length based on the measurements of a window ledge. I used my go to primer zinsser oil based.

Wood window sills add classic style to any room but if you want a clean sleek modern look you might want to paint traditional wood window sills white. Then reinstall the window. A small roller and brush did great. If you wanted to remove the sill unfortunately the time to do so should have been when you removed the old window and before.

Cultured marble is slick and i needed good adhesion a water based primer isn t going to fly here. One coat and i let it cure over night even though it dries quick and says you can re coat in an hour i wanted it to dry super hard. I am not sure if the marble was originally a creamy yellow but after 40 something years that is the color it has become and as you can guess it clashes with the new. If you have a marble table top or counters this will work great for that too.

Does anyone know if the marble can be painted and if so how to do it and what materials to. My house was built in 1973 and one of the groovy things to do then was to use marble as the ledge of the window. Make sure that there aren t any glossy spots left in the marble the paint won t stick to it. With chalk paint you can cover marble in one or two coats with little to no sanding beforehand.

I m painting the all of them in my new house. I am either going to have just dry wall or try to paint the marble. You can request a sill with rounded or square edges. I recently bought a home and the windowsills are marble or cultured marble and have yellowed over the years is there a way to brighten whiten or paint these.

One place i would rather not have marble is as a window sill. There is no doubt that painting over marble can be challenging but only if you do it the old fashioned way with hours of preliminary sanding.
