Tech/Engineering - Architecture | | English term or phrase: soffit | Desværre har jeg påtaget mig en lille tekst, som ifølge kunden er " ret ligetil og ikke særlig teknisk" - haha! Jeg har naturligvis gjort dem opmærksom på, at jeg ikke er ekspert på området. Alligevel er det forhåbentlig værd at spørge, om nogle af jer har mere styr på danske udtryk inden for arkitektur end jeg har...
"The building design required close co-ordination with the architect as the structural soffit is exposed
Jeg er nået så langt, at ordet betyder "undersiden af noget, der rager ud på en bygning", men der må da findes en mere enkel betegnelse? Ifølge KudoZ hedder det "Untersicht" på tysk. |

In popular use, soffit most often refers to the material forming a ceiling from the top of an exterior house wall to the outer edge of the roof, i.e., bridging the gap between a home's siding and the roofline, otherwise known as the eaves
Tømreren (manden min) siger, at den gængse term her ubetinget er (tag)udhæng. |
