CONT

Si pour de petites surfaces [la] finition (d'un sol en béton] peut être assurée manuellement par talochage et lissage à la truelle, il devient nécessaire, pour des superficies plus importantes, d'utiliser un appareil à moteur appelé généralement «talocheuse-lisseuse mécanique» ou plus familièrement «hélicoptère» en raison des pales servant au lissage.

OBS

Le terme «talocheuse-lisseuse mécanique» est plus générique que le terme «hélicoptère».
