Do they still fit these in new builds and whats the point of them anyway .Is it for protection of some sort .......?
When I did up my kitchen I just removed the old ones and painted the new plasterboard .......I'm about to do the same in the bathroom ,especially as one side is much narrower than the other on account of a mains water inlet pipe being at the other side .

not often
Looks nice...
possibly that as well.
What's he talking about?
Round window reveals what?
It's "reveal" (noun) not "reveal" (verb)
They make wall papering easier but I have only really seen them round wooden lined reveals on older houses.
perhaps I should have said "around window reveals"
Mine is an old flat ..100 years old or thereabouts ..
Stuart
perhaps you ought to rephrase that to
"I don't understand, what is a window reveal"
I can't think of another reason, and it you put curtains in front it makes little difference anyway...
I suppose it also covers the edge of the sash boxes on older sliding windows... (where the whole reveal is wood rather than plaster)
Wel,as I understand it .A reveal is the part of the window recess between the face of the inner wall and the window .
Stuart
me too.
They look good, especially on traditional properties. I've just added such an arrangement to the French windows in the kitchen and it has massively improved the look of the room. In a modern hutch it would probably look out of place.
