Spanish term

remate a 45°

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Architecture
Hola a todos.

Por favor, ¿me ayudan a encontrar una traducción al inglés para "remates a 45°"?

Aquí va la frase donde aparece el término:

"En los proyectos iniciales de 1915, Le Corbusier todavía recurre a ventanas con dintel, aunque de proporción apaisada, y definidos remates a 45º con canteros para suavizar la silueta".

Desde ya, muy agradecida.

Saludos.

New information added by the text author: I've contacted the text author and asked for clarification, and this is what she told me:

"Le Corbusier todavía recurre a diferentes elementos moldurados en la fachada -ventanas con dinteles y antepechos acusados (aunque de proporción apaisada [las ventanas]) e importantes cornisas a 45 grados como remate".

Unfortunately, the document she sent for translation doesn't contain any pictures. The text is not making reference to a building in particular, either.

Thank you to all of you for your help!

A picture would probably help. I found the document you're translating, but I didn't have time to wade through it and find out what building it was about.

http://definicion.de/remate/

Dentro del ámbito arquitectónico, el remate es aquel elemento que permite finalizar o dar por terminada una obra. Esto quiere decir que el remate sirve para decorar o concluir una construcción. Un pináculo o un chapitel pueden ser remates escogidos por el arquitecto: “Mira el remate de ese edificio: tiene una ornamentación gótica muy particular”.

-----------------

Sugiero "support" porque se relaciona con las ventanas con dintel.

Spanish term (edited): remates a 45°

capstones cut at 45 degrees

The DRAE defines "remate" as:
"lo que en las fábricas de arquitectura se sobrepone para coronarlas o adornar su parte superior"

"Remate" in Portuguese is 'capstone' according to Linguée. My Brazilian architect husband used to use the term with that meaning.
