Japanese term or phrase: 二丁掛タイル
From a report on a building:

仕上仕様(主要部分)：
外 壁： 45 二丁掛タイル貼，吹付けタイル
屋根・防水： ウレタン塗膜防水
床 事務室：タイルカーペット
内 壁 事務室：ビニールクロス
天 井 事務室：岩綿吸音板

I found a site in Japanese that refers to 45 二丁タイル(URL below), and it seems that the 45 refers to "45 mm". However, I am unsure what 二丁掛 is.

http://www.tilenet.co.jp/tzaqda53_i_yu_C/1_index.htm

"2-layer tile" has been suggested as a translation.

Thank you.

Rectangular Tile (Insert Dimensions here)
Explanation:
Hi Conejo-san,

These was asked some time ago. Please see:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1126857

As mentioned in the description, this tile refers to 2 x 小口 tiles, (which are generally 60x108mm) -hence the 2丁- plus the joint width (hence the 掛け), and the standard dimension for these seems to be 60x227mm.

In the case of 45二丁タイル, note that this is generally 45 x 95mm but can also refer to 50x95mm.

There was a similar question asked also:
see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1160801

Good luck!

Excuse the typo: 'these was' -> 'this was'

P.S. I don't know that "2-layer tiles" is appropriate - the only remotely relevant hits I could see for this on Google related to Mahjongg tiles :-)

My guess:
45二丁タイル dimensions = 45 x 95mm
45二丁掛けタイル dimensions = 50x95mm (extra 5mm accounting for the joint width between the equivalent of the 2 小口's.) See the refs given at the latter KudoZ question.

If it were me, I would probably (try to confirm exact dimensions with the client but otherwise) translate this as:
Rectangular Tiles (50x95mm) - and flag it for the client with a note.

Thank you. I did search through the past Kudoz and members' glossaries, but for some reason, ever since they changed the ProZ system, my searches always come up with "O" results... If I search without checking any boxes (whole words only/exact phrase), I get so many results that are unrelated, because they only contain one of the kanji. If I search with either one of the boxes checked, or both, I get "0" results... I can't think of the last time there was actually a result from that search. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the best way to search for Japanese? Thanks.
