1 hr confidence: 
to plaster Explanation: In Venezuela, this means to put a covering of cement on a wall. So here, the block are left untreated. |

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +3
peer agreement (net): +3render Explanation: So it means unrendered blocks. It's a kind of warehouse with unrendered walls. "frisar(se) II. 1. tr. Ve. En albañilería, aplicar a una pared, como acabado, una capa de mezcla con cemento" (Diccionario de americanismos). "Cement rendering is the application of a premixed layer of sand and cement to brick, cement, stone or mud brick." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_render -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2014-08-01 10:42:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As I say, a covering of "mezcla de cemento" is rendering, verb "to render". They're just bare blocks. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2014-08-01 12:12:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'm sorry, but this is not plaster, whatever Robb may say. Plaster does not contain cement. A cement based wall covering is called a render (or more generally a mortar), and although you might find it loosely called "plaster" this is a misnomer. You never normally plaster directly onto bricks or breeze blocks; you render them, and then plaster on top of that, or leave them unplastered. But if they're rendered but unplastered, they're not "sin frisar". The RAE entry I've quoted is quite explicit, and it's supported Venezuelan sources. Here, for example, it says "el frisado es el acabado final sobre las paredes de bloques y el techo", but it immediately goes on to say "La pasta (mezcla) del frisado está compuesta por agua, cemento y arena" (this page is Venezuelan). http://www.actualidad-24.com/2012/07/como-frisar-una-pared-y... That recipe, as I say, makes render, not plaster. Render can be the final layer, as it says, and in a place like a warehouse it normally would be. That is, unless the walls are left unrendered, as here. |
