"Finishes" would not be adequate here, as everything will be covered by the glass façade (= the final finish). But the slab edges have to be insulated before the glass façade is erected, to avoid "cold bridges".

Note from asker:
| Would "finishes" also be possible here, even more generic? |

Comment: "After speaking to a Norwegian architect, I think this comes closest, but I still think there may be another more precise term. Will give 3 points, just to indicate this. Thanks to all contributions! "

protection
not a literal translation, I know, but could it be used if it is to mean 'beskyttelse'?
Note from asker:
| I'm really looking for the more technical term here, Nina. I think it may be "lining", but hope someone will confirm this. Thanks anyway. |
