peer agreement (net): +4exposed brickwork Explanation: This is the usual way of describing it in English (in the UK at least). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2010-11-15 10:36:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On further research, it seems that bricks used for exposed brickwork (i.e. which are going to remain visible) are called "facing bricks", which is what tijolo face à vista are. Facing Brick – Tijolo à vista : Tijolo especialmente fabricado para ficar à vista, frequentemente tratado para produzir uma textura superficial. São feitos com argilas seleccionadas, ou tratadas, para se produzir a cor desejada. Ver as especificação ASTM C 216. So the best translation in your context might be "facing brick". http://5cidade.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/nota-tecnica-2-re... |
