slats Explanation: Francis has got it, but I think "wall" here is misleading. "Tablier" is used in different contexts for a thin sheet of metal forming a barrier. In roller shutters, it means the system of slats or laths that form the barrier. In English, we would not talk about the assembly as such, but about the individual components making up that assembly, so you've got "strap-operated (or strap-pull) one-piece (sic? - full-width, maybe*) (roller) shutters with double-walled aluminium slats". *I am assuming these are roller shutters, however. This is because of the strap operation. I'm not sure what they mean by "monobloc", though, in the case of roller shutters. Possibly that there is a single "leaf" of shutter, so to speak, as opposed to a pair of hinged shutters. Roller shutters are hardly "one-piece". |
