    I am considering splaying the window reveals of my new build to leave more light in and as an attractive feature. It looks to me as though the 6 inch cavity would not be closed as well as a standard reveal and timber would have to be used which would not be as strong a cavity closer as block. Any thoughts or experience with this anyone?

    thats an engineering detail because your wall ties at jambs need proper blockwork bedding to work.

    with a splay reveal there is no reason why the return cant be used in all blockwork..use a guillotine to break the blocks for the angle your require..the window jam will still be closed the same as a normal jam expect its at an angle.
