I am translating an inventory of restaurant equipment. There is .not much context, because it is just lists of items. The following has me confused:

Mesa sucia izquierda en escuadra con lambrin de 8” cubierta.
Proposed translations (English)

It's late but for future reference: I've found this online while looking for "backsplash". It says "el lambrin es un recubrimiento de madera para muros y techos que sirve como aislante térmico y acústico además de decoración."
This is from a Mexico website that does this type of work. It sounds like "lambrin" could be wood paneling or simply paneling. Since this website is about a company that does only wood work, it's possible that the lambrin could also be done with ceramics, and depending on how high up the wall it goes, it could indeed refer to a backsplash. I did not do any more research to confirm that.

Creo que el problema está en el chino original. Podría ser también lo que tu dices. La palabra lambriz es muy utilizada en Uruguay, como puedes ver en una búsqueda de google. desconozco el origen.También vi por ahí "lambri" sin la z final.

Sorry I repeated the reference. I meant to paste this one: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5419264.html.

"A backsplash molding for counter tops and method for manufacturing the backsplash molding and related edge molding. The backsplash molding fits over the top of a retainer strip in a dovetail manner. This retainer strip affixes to a wall or is formed within the framework of a cabinet. Finished retainer strips and elongated strips are formed from a single piece of substrate material. The strips are shaped, laminated and cut to produce a finished backsplash element and a finished edge molding for installation with a counter top."

It can also be: "backsplash molding"

8" wood panel

The spanish is terrible, and besides there is a typo. I am sure it would say something like
"..cubierta con LAMBRIZ de 8"..." nada que ver con mesas.
