English term

exposed soffit

English to Lithuanian Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
What is exposed soffit?
Soffit refers to the underside of a building component, usually a flooring section. An exposed soffit is one to which no additional finishing layer, such as a suspended ceiling, or tiling, board, or laminate, has been applied.

What are the benefits of exposed soffit?
Many architects appreciate the qualities of exposed soffits as a design feature of the building, but there are also other benefits both in the construction of the building and its eventual functionality. A floor with exposed soffit is quicker to construct and also thinner than one with additional layers, reducing both the cost of construction and also the overall height of the building.

Jei neaišku, kokio tiksliai tipo, siūlau versti tik kaip pakabinamos lubos ir tiek.
Note from asker:
Man irgi panašu, kad čia yra atviros pakabinamos lubos, tik dar neaišku kaip jos atrodo (ar metalinės grotelės ar kitaip), nes būna "exposed soffit" ir "semi-exposed soffit"
Peer comment(s):

agree Inga Jokubauske : sutinku su "atviras sofitas", bet jis nieko bendro su pakabinamom lubom neturi. Sofitas - apatinis skliauto, arkos, išsikišusio karnizo paviršius;
