cerramiento

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Spanish term or phrase: cerramiento
No se puede traducir como enclosure. Un cerramiento podría ser una ventana pero no siempre es así y necesito un término más general.

Explanation:
I'm not sure what you mean, if it physically closes or not (i.e. window, door, etc). If it's something that opens and closes, then here are some possibilities, exit/entrance, ingress/egress, opening. If it's a generic word for the 'apertures' in a building for example, entry/exit points.

I mean something, a generic word, for closing a hole with something; it may be a door, window or sth else, such as those glazed façades made of small translucent tiles.
Thanks anyway

Enclosure


Explanation:
Este término es bastante general. Un "enclosure" se refiere más bien a una caja y no a una ventana. En el diccionario Politécnico de F. Beigbeder tengo lo siguiente. Enclosure: Armario, cerca, cerramiento, marco de vitrina, caja (de un aparato), etc.
