I am looking to install a benchtop along the length of the windows in my room which run wall to wall, which is in-line with the window sill. I cannot use to the wall to mount the benchtop because it is made of asbestos, so I will be using supports, however, I cannot figure out how to create a seamless transition from the window-sill onto the benchtop, and by extension of that, how to join the two. All help appreciated.:smile:

Remove the window sill and make the top to fit where it was all out of 1 piece

determine the height at which the benchtop will tuck into the window and then install cleats on the wall at teh underside of the benchtop height. use a level to lay it out on the wall
