The reveal is a timber surround fitted to the fin of the window or door and
used for installing the product into timber framing. The reveal becomes the
internal frame of your window otherwise known as the ‘window sill’ or door
covering the stud. The architrave attaches to the reveal to cover the gap
between the reveal and the plasterboard (or internal lining).
A variety of reveal sizes are available depending on your construction type.
The size of the reveal is the combined width of the timber stud, the internal lining and cavity (for brick veneer). Xcel recommends you discuss reveal sizes with your builder before organising quotes or ordering windows.

Safety glass is glass that is laminated or toughened. It
is required in bathrooms as well as in doors or windows where there is a risk of
human impact with the glass surface.
The areas of the home where safety glass is required has

size and location of windows and doors. Safety glass is best used in any area
where there is a risk of impact with a glass surface.
Areas of the home that must use safety glass include around stairs, all glass
doors, bathrooms and areas with full glass height that can be mistaken for
openings.
