Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / a project for the renovation of external walls in antique buildings
Italian term or phrase: superficie di sacrificio
I could translate this literally, but want to make sure there's no specific term. Here's the context:

Lo studio dei materiali costituenti le superfici esterne degli edifici richiede un notevole approfondimento diagnostico, anche in virtù del fatto che gli intonaci sono sempre meno intesi come superfici di sacrificio e sempre più stanno avendo un ruolo di caratterizzazione e di qualificazione della facciata.

Thanks.
