Ceiling architecture / mouldings
Hi all,
I'm working on translating brochure for a renovated property in Barcelona from Spanish (ES) into English (UK). The phrase in question appears in the section about how the ceilings in its rooms were made. Please see below:
"Este tipo de molduras eran muy características de la época y sustituyeron a las vigas y techos de madera de los siglos anteriores. Cada arquitecto diseñaba sus propios modelos; es decir, son molduras decorativas de autor y no encontramos dos edificios con el mismo modelo. En el caso del arquitecto [x], optó por decorar los techos de [House name] con elegantes motivos florales. A partir de 1870 se utilizó la técnica del encañizado para los techos. Primero se hacía un techo con cañizos y posteriormente se tapaba con otro techo de yeso con elementos decorativos."
Any help please? Many thanks :)

reed and plaster technique
Término: Encañizado

Definición
Técnica de fabricación de cubiertas que consiste en cubrir las vigas de los techos con cañizos entrecruzados (tejido o enrejado de cañas) para guarnecerlos de yeso y formar cielo raso.
“Other highlights include the sand stone vaulted ceiling and ecclesiastical style sculpted sandstone pillars in the basement, Victorian encaustic tiles at the front and in the lobby and a very early reed and plaster ceiling which we believe dates back more than 200 years.”

More techniques; Lath and plaster is the generic term, as pointed out by Muriel, but I put reed, as lath is frequently wood, whereas reed is more specific here:
In the United Kingdom and its colonies, lath and plaster was often used for interior partition walls and the construction of ceilings, before the introduction of plasterboard in the 1930s.[1] In the U.K., riven or split hardwood laths, of random lengths and sizes, were often used. Splitting the timber, as opposed to sawing in straight lines, followed the grain of the timber which greatly improved strength and durability. Also, reed mat was used as a lath. The technique derives historically from the earlier, more primitive, wattle and daub.

There are suggestions that construction techniques such as lath and plaster and even cob may have evolved from wattle and daub ...
From what I have seen, wattle and daub is the predecessor of this technique but is more primitive. The example here is more decorative, and has been created by an architect.

: That's what I thought of when I saw the question. Perhaps you could post it as an answer and not just a reference?

: wattle and daub uses clay; whereas reed and plaster obviously uses plaster which is a mixture of lime, sand and water.
