feature stones

English to French Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
Bonjour,

sauriez-vous ce que signifie "feature stones" dans la phrase suivante ? Il s'agit d'un texte où un jeune homme rénove une maison, puis la fait visiter.

"This white cement is lighter, and it's got feature stones through it."

agree Tristan Jimenez : "feature stone" veut uniquement dire que la matière est composée de pierre, et que ces pierres seront visibles. Le côté "décoratif" n'est que sous-entendu, pas besoin de le préciser.

gravillons décoratifs

si on parle du ciment, ce sont des gravillons décoratifs (aggregate stones) inclus dans le mélange
This white cement is lighter, and it's got feature stones through it.

"One of the other common Techniques for Creating an aggregate combination is to pick a base mix and then add feature stones such as white or black pebbles to create a speckled effect or alter the over all tone of the concrete. The First mix below is the base mix, the mix next to it has white pebble added to it and then the one next to it has black stone, notice how it changes the effect and colour of the aggregate. "

J'éviterais d'écrire "gravillons" : ils m'ont cassé plus d'un pare-brise §
