French term or phrase: pose en applique/tableau
This is a description of two kinds of batardeaux (which I have as cofferdams) one of which is decribed as being mounted or fixed 'en applique' and the other 'en tableau'

I've been scratching my head on this so long that each possible answer I come up with is more ludicrous than the last!

agree  Bourth (X): That's the idea, but is there not some jargon for this?/Indeed it is.

  -> Isn't the French terminology coming from window and door jargon...?

Asker: Thanks for your explanation, Sanjay - But in view of the context and diagrams provided by Richard I have gone with his definition.

neutral  Richard Hedger: With such a high confidence level I think you should back up your proposal with more convincing references for the sake of future readers. Personally, I don't think you've got it right and need convincing.

Reference: Doors and windows

Reference information:
Although the principles for hydraulic gates would be much the same, I doubt the following terminology, which applies to cabinet doors and - why not? - building doors, would apply to them.

En applique would be "overlay" and en tableau "inset". A few others for good measure!

Frameless cabinets, often called Euro-style cabinets, can take only a FULL OVERLAY door. Framed cabinets take any one of several door types: OVERLAY (also called reveal); FULL OVERLAY (sometimes, and confusingly, simply called overlay), LIPPED and INSET. Each door-type offers a distinctive look and, if you're building your kitchen cabinets, necessitates unique construction techniques [ ... ]
• When you pick up a cabinet frame before attachment to the carcass, it looks just like an empty picture frame. If you then make a door that has the same dimensions as the outer dimensions of the frame, you will have A FULL OVERLAY door. You won't see the frame at all until you open the door. You also can make a door that's a little smaller than the frame; when you close this smaller door, it will reveal part of the frame, hence the name "reveal."
• You can also make a door with the same dimensions as the inside frame dimensions, then fit this door inside the frame, making an INSET DOOR or drawer. Alternatively, you can cut a rabbet, basically a small cutout, around the four edges of the back of a drawer. The door, slightly larger than the inside dimensions of the frame, now fits partially into the door-frame and partially over it, making a LIPPED door.
