Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / in a building survey
French term or phrase: ajourées
L'isolement entre les compartiments des étages 1, 2 et 3 par rapport au hall est réalisé à l'aide de façades en béton coupe-feu de degré 2 heures, **ajourées** à 1/3 de leur surface environ et équipées éléments verriers pare-flamme de degré 2 heures.

Does "ajourées" mean the glazed parts? I suppose so but would like confirmation. Thanks

neutral  B D Finch: Unfortunately, Linguee often provides references in very poor English. "Windowed" is not, as far as I am aware, a term used in architecture (the term is "fenestrated"), and "opened" is wrong too.
