Reveal
The depth of a wall opening measured from the exterior face of the wall to the window or door frame, representing the thickness of the masonry wall at the opening. The reveal affects the appearance of the opening and influences weathering patterns. Deep reveals provide better weather protection but may reduce light penetration.
