הלבשות

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Hebrew term or phrase: הלבשות
This is in a section of a bid for a spatial steel constructed Dome. The Hebrew is lacking, but here's the sentence:
סיכוך הכיפה בלוחות פח מגלוון וצבוע מדגם "כלשהו" כולל כל האביזרים העזר והלבשות

I think the part about האביזרים העזר והלבשות should actually read:
כולל כל אביזרי העזר וההלבשות

Coverings
Explanation:
I find it hard to reconcile "clothing" in this context. Perhaps it simply refers to what the dome will be "dressed" in, i.e. the coverings

"Ideal for both new construction and retrofit projects, our aluminium dome covers are competitively priced, require almost no maintenance "
http://www.temcorrollwell.com/petroleum_applications.html

"Dome coverings vary greatly. ... Since their introduction, geodesic domes have been constructed for many uses, including homes "
http://www.ehow.com/list_5896839_ways-cover-geodesic-dome.ht...

It could potentially be a more metaphorical look at "coverings" as a type of "clothing", or as you have pointed out also, the Hebrew is lacking,...perhaps it is an awkward translation from another language where this usage is normal....Anyway......

More of a guess really, hence the low-ish confidence level.

Flashing? Wow, never come across that one before. Stored it in my mental dictionary...let's see if it sticks :-)
Strange that it gets translated into Hebrew as that though. These things can be rather odd, just to make life interesting I'm sure. Thanks for sharing the answer!

Asker: This is a word I have translated many times before, and for some reason it never sticks... Early Alzheimer's perhaps :-) </br>The correct term is Flashing, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashing_(weatherproofing)</br>I double checked it with the client.

Asker: Now I know who to ask the next time I forget about flashing. I find it quite interesting that a word meaning "to show" (as in an old man in a long, beige raincoat) is used in construction for "covering/shielding".
