Description
Building Component
The present invention relates to a building
component. More particularly, but not exclusively,
it relates to a cover for a reveal of a wall.
Conventional reveals are generally formed from
timber and finished by plastering. In such cases, a
tradesman has to apply the plaster onto the reveal.
This requires a degree of skill and care to ensure
straight lines are obtained. This procedure is
labour intensive and hence costly.
Further, if the reveal is the reveal of a door, the
door and a frame of the door can become spattered
with plaster during plastering of the reveal. These
plaster splashes require removal which is again
labour intensive and time consuming.
Similarly, in the case of the reveal being the
reveal of a window, the window and a frame of the
window can become spattered with plaster during
plastering of the reveal. These plaster splashes
again require removal. Further, removal of plaster
splashes from windows can result in damage to the
glass, for instance, scratching of the glass. Thus,
special care must be taken when removing plaster
splashes from windows.
The problem of plaster splashes is exacerbated when
plastering a horizontal reveal above the window or
the door when excess plaster can drip under the
force of gravity from the reveal onto the window or
door and the frames thereof.
According to a first aspect of the present
invention, there is provided a reveal cover, the
reveal cover comprising a planar member arranged to
be attached to a reveal of a wall, the planar member
being arranged to extend away from an end of the
reveal towards a surface of the wall remote from
said end of the reveal.
Such a reveal cover simplifies the construction and
finishing of the reveals of walls. It ensures that
straight lines are obtained and mitigates the labour
intensive and costly exercise of plastering reveals.
It also obviates the need to clean windows and doors
following plastering. It allows the reveal of a
building to be easily, quickly and inexpensively
finished.
The reveal cover may comprise of a plastics
material, such as PVC. This allows the reveal cover
to be cut to the required dimensions before being
attached to the reveal.
Alternatively or additionally, the reveal cover may
comprise of a metal, such as aluminium.
The reveal cover may have a skin coating. The use
of a skin coating helps to prevent cracks from
forming in the reveal cover.
The reveal cover may comprise a first surface having
a rough finish. In use, the reveal cover is
attached to the reveal such that the first surface
is adjacent the reveal. The presence of a rough
finish on the first surface of the reveal cover
assists the adherence of the reveal cover to the
reveal of the wall.
The reveal cover may comprise a coating on a second
surface thereof. In use, the reveal cover is
attached to the reveal such that the second surface
faces outwardly from the reveal. If desired, paint
may be applied to the second surface and the
presence of the coating helps paint to adhere to the
coated surface. Painting the reveal cover provides
weather protection and, further, enhances
aesthetics.
The reveal cover may be dimensioned to cover the
reveal in its entirety.
[\)
Alternatively, the reveal cover may be dimensioned
to cover the reveal only partially.
The reveal cover may be dimensioned to terminate
adjacent an outer face of the wall.
Alternatively, the reveal cover may project
outwardly from the outer face of the wall. The
outer edge of the reveal cover may be perpendicular
to the outer face of the wall. The outward
projection provides an abutment up to which any
coating may be finished.
The width of a first end of the reveal cover may be
greater than the width of a second end of the reveal
cover. In use, the first end having the greater
width is situated adjacent the outer face of the
wall and the second end is situated adjacent a frame
for a window or a door located in an opening of the
wall.
Typically, the reveal cover may comprise retention
means for attaching the reveal cover to the reveal.
The retention means may be formed integrally with
the reveal cover.
Alternatively or additionally, non-integrally formed
retention means may be attached to the reveal cover.
The retention means may comprise brackets, for
example, L—shaped brackets.
The reveal cover may be arranged for receipt within
a U—shaped channel section. The U—shaped channel
section may comprise a part of the frame for the
window or the door.
According to a second aspect of the present
invention, there is provided a window assembly, the
window assembly comprising at least one reveal
having a reveal cover according to the first aspect
of the present invention attached thereto.
The window assembly may comprise a frame for a
window having a U~shaped channel arranged for
receipt of the reveal cover.
Typically, the reveal cover extends from the window
frame to the outer face of the wall.
According to a third aspect of the present
invention, there is provided a door assembly, the
door assembly comprising at least one reveal having
a reveal cover according to the first aspect of the
present invention attached thereto.
The door assembly may comprise a frame for a door
having a U—shaped channel arranged for receipt of
the reveal cover.
Typically, the reveal cover extends from the door
frame to the outer face of the wall.
According to a fourth aspect of the present
invention, there is provided a method of covering a
reveal of a wall comprising attaching a reveal cover
according to the first aspect of the present
invention to the reveal.
The reveal cover may be attached to the reveal using
retention means.
The method may include seating the reveal cover in a
U—shaped channel comprising a part of a window frame
or a door frame.
Typically, the method may include an initial step of
cutting the reveal cover to the required size.
The reveal cover may be cut to the size of the
reveal to which it is to be attached.
Alternatively, the reveal cover may be dimensioned
to cover the reveal only partially.
Additionally or alternatively, the reveal cover may
be dimensioned to extend outwardly from the outer
face of the wall.
Typically, the method may include a step of applying
a coating to an outer surface of the reveal cover.
The term “reveal” as used herein refers to the whole
or a part of an end face of a wall which joins the

outer face of the wall to the inner face of the
wall.
A reveal generally occurs where there is an opening
in the wall, such as an opening for a window or a
door. In the case of a window or a door, the reveal
typically comprises the end face between the outer
face of the wall and the window frame or door frame.
A wall opening for a window or door generally
comprises both horizontal and vertical reveals.
The present invention will now be described, by way
of example only, with reference to the accompanying
drawings in which:—
Figure l is a perspective view showing a window
assembly comprising a first embodiment of the
reveal cover according to the present
invention;
Figure 2 is a top sectional View of the reveal
cover of Figure 1; and

Two brackets 26 are shown in Figures 1 and 2 but it
will be appreciated that the number of brackets 26
used can be varied depending on the size of the
reveal cover 10, the type of material being used,
the type of brackets used, etc.
The screws 28a are fixed into the wall 24 through a
scrim 30 that aids in the retention of the brackets
in place.
An adhesive (not shown) may be used as an
alternative or a supplement to the use of brackets
26.
A U—shaped channel 32 attaches to the window frame
using screws 28c. The mouth of the U—shaped
channel 32 receives the reveal cover 10 such that
the reveal cover 10 is perpendicular to the plane of
a window 34.
A sealant such as silicone beads (not shown) is
applied to seal the terminal ends of the U—shaped
channel 32 to the surfaces of the reveal cover 10.
Figure 3 shows a second embodiment of the reveal
cover according to the present invention. Parts of
this embodiment corresponding to the embodiment
described in relation to Figures 1 and 2 will be
accorded identical reference numerals.
In this embodiment, a reveal cover 36 comprises an
outer body section 38 and an inner leg section 40.
The outer body section 38 terminates adjacent the
outer face 22 of the wall 24 (not shown in Figure 3)
and is attached to the wall 24 by means of a bracket
26 using screws 28a. The inner leg section 40 sits
in a U—shaped channel 32 connected to the window
frame 20 (not shown in Figure 3). The outer body
section 38 has a greater width than the inner leg
section 40. A tapered waist section 42 joins the
outer body section 38 to the inner leg section 40.
Typically, the width of the outer body section 38 is
approximately 20 mm and the width of the inner leg
section 40 is approximately 10 mm. Typically, the
length of the outer body section 38 is approximately
mm.
The use of a reveal cover 10, 36 having a coating to
give good adhesion of paint has been described. It
should be appreciated, however, that in some
embodiments of the present invention, paint may be
applied directly onto the surface of the reveal
cover 10, 36 without the necessity of a coating.
Alternatively, it is envisaged that the reveal cover
, 36 according to the present invention may be
formed in various colours such that the requirement
to paint the reveal cover l0, 36 would be removed.
For example, the reveal cover 10, 36 may be
comprised of various different colour plastics.
A reveal cover 10, 36 according to the present
invention is suitable for attachment to both
vertical and horizontal reveals. Typically, where
more than one reveal cover 10, 36 is used in the
same wall opening, the ends of adjacent reveal
covers 10, 36 will abut each other at the corners of
the wall opening.
Although the invention has been described in
relation to the reveals of doors and windows, it is
envisaged that the reveal cover 10, 36 according to
the present invention may also be used in any other
type of reveal. Further, it is envisaged that the
reveal cover 10, 36 according to the present
invention is not limited to external use but may
also be adapted for use internally, i.e. at an end
face between the internal surface of the wall and
the window frame or door frame.
Various modifications and improvements may be made
to the above without departing from the scope of the
present invention.
