Hi, my czech wife and I are renovating a house in Czech and while I know the techinical building words in English I need to find them out in czech to help when I am ordering materials or services. The dictionaries I have found so far are limited to the technical words. Please could someone advise me or either a web link that I could find these out or maybe you know them? Here are a few that I'm needing right now but I know I will have more as I go along underpinning RSJ (Re-enforced steel joint - or girder) concrete lintel joists screeding visquene crusher run acro prop baten balast dot and dab Thanks in advance Jay
Thanks for that Kibiz! visquene - is a very tough plastic that goes on the floor above sand and underneath the concrete when you concrete floors. It may be a different method in Czech? although I only know how its done in the UK. Crusher run - is a type of course lime that goes on the floor which is smashed down hard with a 'whacker plate' (could use the czech word for this too , the crusher run then goes hard and sand is applied above it then the 'visquene' then concrete. dot and dab - is a method of plastering - dot the plasterboards with plaster then dab it on the wall. Thanks again for your help on this.
