lubricant/anti-rust compound/sealant/cement/rendering Explanation: My technical dictionary (goursau) seems to give lots of options for enduit - none specific to chainage... I don't think chainage modifies enduit linguitically. I read it as saying the chainage périphérique has been coated with enduit. (possibly to stop it rusting?) Sorry this is not much help but basically I don't think there is a specific product called enduit du chainage. Example sentence(s):

recouvrement (en enduit) du chaînage périphérique Explanation: A chaînage périphérique is that strip, usually of brickwork, that circles a building, usually at floor level. Assuming, that is, that the building is not brickbuilt but rather mortar-filled flint, etc. The "chaînage" is so named because, traditionally, it masked an iron chain built into the masonry to hold everything together and prevent it collapsing outwards like a house of cards. These days it is steel reinforcing bars. They specify "périphérique" because you can also have "chaînage" around doors and windows and vertically at the corners. Usually the brick course, or these days, projects slightly from the wall so that it also serves as an architectural feature and as a drip to throw water off the facade. From my notes : Chaînage Tieing system, "ring anchor" (German?), in the case of wall reinforcement for taking loading of hollow-core slab flooring, masonry reinforcement, tie concrete, ring beam [Scott]; stitch beam (linking floors to walls) [CEi,5/97p24], bond beam [MitchellS&F1,p.94], lacing course (strictly speaking, only in flint walls) [Mitchells1938] Probably a lacing course in your case. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2007-02-20 09:15:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So your lacing course is being plastered over. |

39 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1rendering of the reinforcing layer Explanation: Of course all that Bourth says is true. Far from me to disagree! In this context though it is a reinforced concrete layer made on the top of the existing walls to prevent movement and bind them together. The building will therefore end up a little higher than it was originally. As this is rather unsightly on an ancient wall , cement or maybe lime rendering - more old-fashioned looking, will hide the concrete. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 45 mins (2007-02-20 09:29:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- According to the 'grand dictionnaire' this is known as 'tying of walls' or 'wall ties' in English (as well as some of the terms mentioned by Bourth). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 55 mins (2007-02-20 09:39:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I don't know what the English is for 'à pierre vue'. What it means is that the rendering is applied which only leaves the facings of the largest slightly protruding stones showing thereby protecting the wall from the weather. This is contrast to a finish where each stone is pointed and fully visible. The following link has a good description. http://www.parc-naturel-chevreuse.fr/doc/architecture_19-27....

4 hrs confidence:
mortar plastrering on peripheral ties Explanation: External wall treatments : pointed stone on both buildings, with mortar plastering of peripheral ties of the barn. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2007-02-20 16:11:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, should have read: " with mortar plastering of peripheral ties ON the barn". |
