Italian term

lambrino

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
The sentence is

Le officine avranno un lambrino alto circa 2 metri realizzato con smalti lavabili antiacido e non assorbenti liquidi oleosi.
Can't find lambrino anywhere - could it be a diminuitive of lambri (i.e. a dado/ wall moulding).

Thanks a lot
