Browse Forums Windows & Doors 1 Jul 12, 2013 10:41 am Hi, Can anybody explain this window description to me please? I tried to google but for the life of me can't understand all those technical descriptions of plasterings etc? So if you could show with clear pictures that would be great? Window 1 - 650X2790 (905 sill) - plaster reveal window 2 - 686X2790 (905 sill) - no bottom reveal Both these specs are for a kitchen window splashback and was wondering what that plaster reveal and no plaster reveal is? Do you think anyone of them is better than the other especially being a splashback window? Here is the kitchen window layout for better idea? Re: window - plaster reveal? 2Jul 12, 2013 11:53 am The reveal refers to the section between the window and the face of the wall - essentially the window is set further back than where your splashback would be so the reveal fills the gap. The rest still baffles me though - sorry. http://camdenbuild.blogspot.com.au/ by invite only please pm me Re: window - plaster reveal? 4Jul 12, 2013 12:57 pm Vetra43 Hi, Can anybody explain this window description to me please?

Do you think anyone of them is better than the other especially being a splashback window? Here is the kitchen window layout for better idea? I am not sure if these are 2 different windows, or alternatives for the same window. Basically, this window is finished with plaster around the inside, so plaster from the wall turns 90 degrees to meet the window. No bottom reveal means that the benchtop will run up to the window along the sill, rather than plaster. If it's a choice, I would run with the splashback turning 90 degrees into the window, including the benchtop running into the window. If they can't run the splashback into the window, then I would have plaster to the jambs (sides), and then the benchtop into the sill (bottom).

Ed Ed Thanks a lot Ed, I was infact waiting for your reply. Its basically a choise between the two , lets say. So are you saying , you would choose the "no bottom reveal" version of it? Do you have any pictures for this, if you don't mind? Given that its behind my kitchen cooktop, i'd better ask them to run the splashback along the sides and upper edge of the window to the sill (I am assuming sill is the aluminum frame of the wondow) , is that right? Re: window - plaster reveal? 6Jul 13, 2013 2:15 pm Sorry, no pics, but it is just that your benchtop, instead of finishing flush with the wall, actually extends to meet the aluminium sill, inside the window opening. This is the one I would choose. They also do it with tiles into the sill for bathrooms.

The top and sides have the usual reveal, but we have no bottom reveal at all. Please ignore the pencil marks on the architrave, that was a scrap piece of arch just put there temporarily for the pic.

If they let you choose plaster to the jambs and head with no bottom reveal, I think that would look good.

I guess I am going to have no bottom reveal but with the sides and top I am going to have plaster reveal as a standard. Need to double check.

How do you actually secure the window in place, given that our windows are secured with nails through the wooden reveal and into the house frame?.

How do you actually secure the window in place, given that our windows are secured with nails through the wooden reveal and into the house frame?. Depends on the window. Our residential window has timber reveals and we use a thinner reveal with plaster in front. Our commercial window has an aluminium section behind the plaster. Drop into the showroom and we can show you. There's also a "che@t" by using plasterers' angle over the timber reveal, but it reduces the energy efficiency.

Tel. 1800 326 326 Re: window - plaster reveal? 12Jul 17, 2013 5:39 pm There you go, yet another confusion? Ed help please? you might be able to understand what it says. Here is what I see as a totally separate section as "a note only" in my tender document about kitchen window reveal. Not sure what it means? "A square edged Dressed All Round (DAR) KDHW bottom architrave shall be supplied to kitchen windows that have an architrive seated on the kitchen bench, adjacent to a sink.(mine is behind a cook top, no sink there on my benchtop) Note: Client's selected architrave will be finished to the DAR section of KDHW architrave along the bottom of the window" Is that English at all? Not even a single word makes sense to me!!! Help would be highly appreciated. Re: window - plaster reveal? 13Jul 17, 2013 10:38 pm Vetra43 There you go, yet another confusion?

That's in conflict with having "no bottom reveal" as an architrave won't be needed at all on the bottom, as there will be no reveal to fasten it to. Check what you are getting...
