paint for construction


Explanation:
When "obra" is used, it means construction in its unrefined form. Hence, a balcony (exterior) has brick in the style of "obra" i.e., rough, just the way they come out of the factory, while a more polished style is "de hogar" which can be used in the inside.

Suerte!
