Construction / Civil Engineering
I'm working on some specifications applicable to tenants of retail outlets in a shopping centre. The specifications detail all of the requirements imposed on tenants when fitting out their shops, installing false ceilings, etc. There is a section on "Vitrines", which reads as follows: "Tous les **arrières de vitrines**, les plafonds ainsi que les installations d'éclairage sont à la charge du Preneur. Aucun élément de la devanture, fixe ou mobile, ni aucun présentoir, gondole, etc... ne doit dépasser la limite de la parcelle sur les mails. Les vitrines devront respecter les prescriptions visées dans le règlement des enseignes, graphismes et sigles". Any suggestions would be much appreciated as I can't figure out whether they're talking about the windows themselves, window displays or something else. Thanks very much for taking the time to look at this! I have posted the question in the field of construction but am afraid that I'm unsure as to whether it should come under 'marketing'.

Shop window fittings
This phrase clearly shows that we are talking about the fittings associated with a window display as described in the text.

Comment: "Thanks very much for this! Bashiqa certainly put me on the right track but I was happy to go with your suggestion as I thought it was important to include the 'shop windows'. Thanks again!"

internal fittings
Far from a word to word translation but I think this is what they mean. The windows, doors etc are in place but all internal fittings - ceilings, lighting etc are to be provided by the shopowner.
