Are SILTECH® acrylic windowsills non-toxic? Pursuant to the Safety Data Sheets’ (SDS)
toxicological information section for the various sheet goods we use, the product has no
known adverse effect on human health. And the product, as such, is not hazardous.
However, dust caused by sanding or cutting the material may cause irritation to the skin,
eyes and respiratory system…so always use individual protection measures.
Is a SILTECH® windowsill heat resistant? Yes, the solid surface material we use is heat
resistant, so a hot cup of tea, coffee or cocoa won’t be a problem. But common sense needs
to be applied concerning exposure to direct heat.
Is a SILTECH® windowsill UV resistant? Yes, it’s true. The solid surface material we use
to fabricate windowsills is not affected by UV rays, so it won’t fade, warp or yellow in
sunlight. You get design versatility, renewability and a repairable surface that not only
looks good, but performs like no other.
Is a SILTECH® windowsill stain and bacteria resistant? The materials we use have
undergone rigorous and extensive ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and
ANSI (American National Standards Institute) testing for moisture absorption, bacterial,
fungi and stain resistance. And because of the material’s molecular make-up, it has very
low moisture absorption, so it does not support fungal or bacterial growth and it is stain
resistant as well.
How is a SILTECH® windowsill renewable? It is renewable because the color is uniform
throughout the thickness of the windowsill. So, general day-to-day cleaning can be done
with warm soapy water or non-abrasive cleaners … then just rinse and towel dry. To remove
stubborn residue, apply a more abrasive cleaner like Bon-Ami®, Comet® or Ajax® and with
a damp sponge, buff in a circular motion…rinse and towel dry. And to remove minor cuts
and scratches, apply an abrasive cleaner like Bon-Ami®, Comet® or Ajax® and with a damp
(#7448) Scotch-Brite™ pad, buff in a circular motion…rinse and towel dry.
