The Reveal is a timber surround fitted to the fin of the window or door and used for installing the product into timber framing. The reveal becomes the frame of your window or door covering the stud. The architrave attaches to the reveal to cover the gap between the reveal and the plasterboard (or internal lining). A variety of reveal sizes are available depending on your construction.
The size of the reveal is the combined width of the timber stud, the internal lining and cavity (for brick veneer).
Reveals for External Cladded Applications
This is relevant for timber cladding, blue board cladding or any other type of cladding up to 25mm thick.
Reveal Size = Internal lining (10mm-15mm gyprock wall) + Stud Size (say 75mm) = 85mm (use closest standard size 86mm)
If bracing ply is used, you will need to add the thickness of this to the reveal size.
Reveals for Brick Veneer
Reveal Size = Internal lining (say 10mm) + Cavity (say 35mm) + Stud Size (say 75mm) = 120mm (use closest standard size 116mm)
