tenniswitch Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Our plumber recently installed a pare-baignoire, and I need to discuss a small problem with him.The pare-baignoire has one panneau fixe and one flottant. On the bottom of the glass of the panneau fixe there is a flexible plastic thing (it slides onto the glass) for preventing water leaking under the glass. In the US, we would call that a seal or a gasket. Does anyone know what that's called in French?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 A bit off thread, Tennis, but a seal (the sort that lie down on rocks round here) is a phoque (pronounced foque), which makes the children laugh every time the word is used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
