The second "tancament" seems to confirm my initial idea that the word is being used in the way in which Spanish uses "acabados". I think you were right to worry about the idea of aluminium coloured walls. Does not compute in this context :-)
I'd rephrase this as folows: "Exterior finshes include extra large windows in treated aluminium...." (or whatever the correct term is for anoditzat). |

| Notes to answerer
Asker: That would make sense, I have reason to beleive this is a Spanish person who doesn't speak Catalan terribly well. MY suspicions stem from this "Enlluït" turned out to be "enlucido" aka "plaster".
