Is it window sill or window seal?

Deciding whether to use sill or seal with window depends on the context; both could potentially be correct.

A windowsill is the horizontal part at the bottom of a window's opening; it's like a shelf under a window.

A window-seal is what is used around the window to prevent air leakage; it keeps the uncomfortable cold or hot air from leaking in, and the comfortable cool or warm air from leaking out of the building.
