What you shouldn't store on a windowsill: it can lead to tragedy

19.05.2023 14:08

The window sill is often used not only to place pots of indoor flowers on it to decorate the room, but also to throw all sorts of junk on it.

And what isn’t here: figurines, books, vases with flowers… I could go on and on.

But what definitely has no place on the windowsill are mirrors and other objects with a reflective surface.

By the way, glasses were also included in the list of “prohibited” items.

Sun rays reflected from mirrors and similar things can easily set fire to both the tulle and the wooden glass unit itself.

For this reason, it is worth carefully studying the various instructions that come with the product.

Manufacturers often post information here that items with a surface of this quality may cause a fire.

Therefore, we strongly recommend that you do not take risks and remove even a thick-walled vase from the windowsill – just to be on the safe side.
