Reveal

The narrow strip of visible face frame or cabinet edge that shows between adjacent doors, between a door and a drawer, or between an inset door and its frame. Reveal width is determined by the overlay style — standard overlay shows more reveal, full overlay shows very little, and inset doors show an even, precise reveal all around. Consistent reveals across all doors and drawers are a sign of quality installation.
