Timber Reveals: Making Aluminium Window Installation Simpler and Cleaner
When we talk about timber reveals for aluminium windows, the spotlight isn’t on decoration — it’s on practicality. In many buildings the wall build-up and internal finishes vary, and that’s where a timber reveal becomes a straightforward, effective solution.
What is a timber reveal and why use it?
A timber reveal is a timber lining fitted to the inner side of an aluminium window frame. Its main purpose is to adapt the window unit to the building’s wall structure so the frame can be installed cleanly and securely. In short: it makes installation easier and site finishing neater.
Practical benefits
-
Accommodates different wall thicknesses
Many walls have layers (insulation, plasterboard, internal linings) of varying depths. Timber reveals provide a consistent lining depth so the window sits flush with the internal face, regardless of wall build-up. -
Speeds up on-site work
Pre-fitted timber reveals mean less on-site carpentry and fewer adjustments. Installers can fix the unit quickly, then complete sealing and finishes without measuring and cutting timber on site. -
Cleaner finish and easier trims
The timber reveal gives a solid, consistent surface for interior trim, architraves or paint, resulting in a tidier, higher-quality finish.
In short
Timber reveals are not a styling gimmick — they are a practical installation accessory that saves time on site, ensures consistent finishes, and helps windows perform as designed. When carefully specified and factory-prepared, they make the difference between a tricky on-site installation and a fast, neat handover.
