Trim Carpentry is full of tips, tricks and strategies. But there is one hidden detail in trim carpentry that is utterly important--and it's EVERYWHERE in our houses. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will help explain what it is, and how and when to use it!

This HIDDEN TRIM DETAIL Affects Your Whole House! See Why...(Reveals/Trim Reveal/Trim Carpentry)

The hidden trim detail in all of our homes is THE REVEAL.

A REVEAL is simply the offset positioning of two trim boards along an edge.

You find reveals primarily around doors and windows, where two casings meet at 90 degrees to one another, and travel together along an edge.

The reveal on interior casings is often 3/16" to 1/4".

The reveal on exterior door casings is often 1/2".

Lumber is often imperfect, and by offsetting the position of one of these boards a little bit, you create a narrow valley or inner corner between the two boards that hides their flaws much better than if they were lined up.

The reveal is much easier to caulk into, thereby hiding the visible seam completely.

But, trim reveals also create a pleasing shadow line! This visible detail makes trim more appealing to the eye.

This shadow line reveal element has been used in architecture for thousands of years to make trim and structural profiles more beautiful.

Many of our new pre-hung doors come with trim already in place, and the trim reveal already set.

Reveals must be set very early on in the trim phase of a carpentry project, because horizontal trim butts up against casing with reveals, more or less trapping it in place.
