Window Reveal Cladding

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.42 PM

I'm renovating a property I recently bought, most of the property has gone back to bare brick and is going to be plaster boarded, whilst we're at it we like the look of cladded window reveals with architrave around them. I'm sure this is a fairly common thing to do, but there isn't a lot of clear advice about it online. I could just run out and grab some MDF or something to do this, but I'd like to avoid any potential pit falls from using the wrong materials or methods. Are there any products on the market for this purpose, or failing that is there a particular type of board I should be using? It's an older property with cavity walls, the windows are recessed quite deep so the reveals would probably be 5 or 6" deep.
