A Parament or Parement; from Late Latin paramentum, adornment, parare, to prepare, equip

I believe it is to do with adornment

Paramentsteen kan zonder enig probleem verankerd worden en kunnen voor het kleed van je woning zorgen.
Op die wijze is het voor de buitenwereld niet meer zichtbaar dat de woning werd opgebouwd met een stalen structuur
