Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering
French term or phrase: rideaux de scenes et d'estrades
from technical specifications for construction work in a large department store. the sentence reads: 'les rideaux de scenes et d'estrades, quelle que soit la surface de ces scenes et estrades, doivent etre en materiaux de categorie m1' 'rideaux de scene' has an application in the theatre i'm aware but i'd assume the term would apply to something different here. the heading of the section reads: 'tentures, portieres, rideaux, voilages'
