montage maçonné

English translation: embedded installation

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:montage maçonné
English translation:embedded installation
Entered by: Victoria Porter-Burns

French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / WC fixtures
French term or phrase: montage maçonné
Another term from my WC fixtures catalogue:

"Chaise de montage pour cuvettes et bidets suspendus, pour **montage maçonné** uniquement"

This is the only time the term in question is used in the whole catalogue and as these are product descriptions there is no other surrounding context for it.

'Installation' was my first thought for 'montage', by I am at a complete loss as to the meaning of 'maçonné' here.

Can anyone shed any light?

Many TIA,

Vicky

Explanation:
Look at the "fiche technique" (the third of the row of round icons at the bottom) here
http://www.selles.eu/ProductDetails.aspx?prodPath=28660;2866...

Whatever the wall/floor the "chaise" is fixed to is made of, "maçonné" here refers to the "décor" part built on top of it and covering the "chaise", only the threaded rods of which protrude. This "décor" is relatively thick, and can be brick, cellular concrete panels, etc. and is subsequently tiled over.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for your answer, but 'assembly with laying bricks up' makes no sense in English. I know that 'maçonner' means 'to build', 'to brick', etc. but I can't see how these standard meanings could apply here.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  B D Finch: As the Asker says, this is not English phrasing. Also, "maçonner" doesn't mean "to brick up".
