I have bought a house that has a type of sunroom with six narrow and tall windows. The solution made between the windows doesn't look good. There is a high risk that the wood will absorb water and rot.
Now I would like to ask how to solve this in a better way.
The distance between the windows is about 40 cm.
See photo.
Thanks in advance, Anders
Maybe not a window sill but a flashing, or some other metal detail that directs the water away from the horizontal board in the same way as at the window. You might have to cut a groove in the wood or seal against the trim with silicone so it fits tightly against the wood.
It looks like the underlying window sill (u fönsterblecken) protrudes a few centimeters beyond the vertical trims?
If so: can you bevel the list at the top and possibly seal it with outdoor sealant?
Just a thought from the air.
You have another concern, and that is that the cladding boards end against a horizontal board, where water gets in, and you will likely have damage there as well.
I see in the pictures that you have (sorry) quite ugly window sills.
I would have replaced these and had a continuous long sill that goes all the way, and then you'll have a natural drainage where you have problems today.
