4 hrs confidence: 
counter batten Explanation: Since it's you asking, I went and did some research and possibly, possibly this is what you want. Counter Batten: vertical wood strips installed on sloped roofs over which horizontal battens are secured. The primary roof covering is attached or secured to these horizontal battens. Might be way off, but it's a suggestion. Got the idea from this site: www.dow.com/styrofoam/europe/italia/insulate/itispa12.htm - 41k Cheers, mate.

peer agreement (net): +1form liner Explanation: Form liners are placed inside the concrete form (il cassero), either to reinforce the form (as seems to be your case) or for decorative purposes (architectural form liners, which give the desired surface texture) or for insulation, as in the Dow page cited below. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-29 10:47:10 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- P.S. Your \'cassero\' is most likely \'form\' or \'formwork\', for pouring concrete. May be built of wood or prefabricated. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-29 12:15:12 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually I find nothing to confirm that a form liner might be used for reinforcing formwork. So while I confirm the term, rereading your context, I believe in your case it\'s to keep the concrete poured into a sloped form from leaking out before it\'s hardened...
