Sill (geology) In geology, a sill is a flat sheet-like intrusion. As molten magma, it pushed between older layers of rock. The older rock may be sedimentary rock, beds of volcanic lava or tuff, or metamorphic rock. The sill does not cut across preexisting rocks, unlike dykes.
Removing and Replacing a Rotten Sill Plate. A rotten sill plate is a common occurrence in old housesâand a big problem. The sill is the piece of wood closest to the ground, either on a foundation or piers, and is usually a âtimber-sizedâ board: 3Ã6, 3Ã8, 4Ã6, 4Ã8, and so on. The studs often rest directly on the sill and are toe-nailed in with no bottom plate as youâd find in a modern house.
