Hello everyone,

I need help from knowledgeable people. I am looking for information about the optimal reveal depth in masonry for windows. Currently, a reveal depth of 6cm (2.4 inches) is planned. However, I think this is too large. Can someone tell me what the optimal size is? In my opinion, it should not exceed 4cm (1.6 inches).

Could you please explain the advantages and disadvantages of a small reveal of 3cm (1.2 inches) versus a large reveal of 6cm (2.4 inches)?

I would appreciate a quick response.

Yes, I can definitely understand that. I will share my project with you. I also appreciate being able to share it. I wasn’t even aware of it before. That makes me even happier.

I also think it’s nice to be able/to be allowed to share.

We’re glad to hear that. However, there are quite a few people here who seriously worry that someone might steal their dream house idea if they lift the lid of the pot by just one more millimeter and/or think that if they piece together their house plans here bit by bit, it will be less noticeable. For those giving advice, though, this can be frustrating: being questioned but not being able to share the excitement with the builders in return, and having to painstakingly keep track of how all the puzzle pieces fit together.

Our architect planned for 5 cm (2 inches) on each side for us. The masons said that is quite a lot and that 3–4 cm (1.2–1.6 inches) is more common...

The masons might not mind, but 5 or 6 cm (2 or 2.4 inches) can be a challenging measurement for the window installers.

It might still be possible to improve the brickwork. Perhaps about 3 cm (1.2 inches) on each side, so that it ends up being around 2 cm (0.8 inches) per side.

Where should the installation plane be, especially where are the guide rails of the roller shutters located?
