			<![CDATA[Quiz question is, “what is missing?” <br /><br />&gt;&gt;&gt;Much of a reveal. <br /><br />And any downside.<br /><br />&gt;&gt; There would be if they were timber windows (mitre joints suggest uPVC).]]>

			<![CDATA[No weep holes, got it in one, never used them! Never got pulled <br /><br />I see no downside, saves faff, saves money, saves time,  (less profit for manufacturers, suppliers etc)]]>

			<![CDATA[I had added weep holes to our blockwork build which was to be rendered. Was not sure how it was going to work out as I was concerned about how far they should protrude to allow for the render. Fortunately had a knowledgeable BCO who said I did not need them with render. Got a document somewhere I got via him confirming this. If water was to get in it would flow out of the lintel to the sides as the knowledgeable brickie had put a sloping to the edges DPC to direct the water out into the cavity.]]>
