peer agreement (net): +1| arrêt (de plafonnage) edge / corner // edge/corner trim Explanation: The term is used in 2 ways in your text, which in English will probably need translating by different words. As I understand it, they are talking about some kind of metla "trim strip" to finish off exposed edges; in one instance, they are referring to this exposed edge itself ("arrêt de plafonnage"), in the others, they are more specifically referring to the element used to trim such edges. "arrêt" is quite commonly technically used in this sort of way, to mean "the point where something comes to an end" (cf. the use of "retour" for a "return" in technical senses) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2006-12-31 09:15:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A bit of Googling turned up this site amongst many others that talks about "metal trim" in general, and also has the possibly useful term "bead" to add to your list of possibilities: http://www.dietrichindustries.com/products/default.asp?http:... |
