E' una scheda tecnica che tratta del montaggio di avvolgibili (tapparelle)... che può essere effettuata mediante guide da incasso o in luce... qualcuno sa aiutarmi? ho trovato diverse cose su internet ma nulla di particolarmente convincente...qualcuno ha già tradotto questo termine o lo sa con esattezza?? GRAZIE
