Burkolattal

Burkolat in Hungarian means a covering, cladding, or paving surface. Burkolattal is the instrumental form of burkolat and is used to indicate “with a covering” or “with cladding.” It functions as a modifier in noun phrases and is common in construction, architecture, and interior design. The suffix -val/-vel attaches to the noun to express means or accompaniment.

In practical use, burkolattal describes surfaces finished with a particular material. It is frequently combined with material names to specify the kind of covering, for example falburkolattal (with wall cladding), padlóburkolattal (with floor covering). Common combinations include kerámiaburkolattal (with ceramic tiling), fáburkolattal (with wood covering), kőburkolattal (with stone covering), and márványburkolattal (with marble covering). Phrases such as “A falburkolattal ellátott helyiség könnyen tisztítható” illustrate its use to describe finished spaces, while “A padló kerámiaburkolattal borított” specifies the material applied to the surface.

Etymology and related terms: burkolat derives from the verb for covering or cloaking and the associated suffix -t- in the compound form, yielding burkolattal. Related terms include borítás (covering), burkolás (cladding), and specific types of coverings such as falburkolat (wall cladding) and padlóburkolat (floor covering). The term is used in both technical specifications and everyday language when detailing finishes in buildings and renovations.
