Portuguese term or phrase: tratada em alvenarias pintadas ou revestimentos a pedra
Hi everyone! I'm translating material on tiles and having problems with this phrase. Normally it's 'revestimentos de pedra'. Is 'a pedra' the same thing? Thanks for your help!

Em Portugal, país onde o azulejo era aplicado, há séculos, como guarnição envolvente dos espaços construídos, os arquitectos modernistas suspenderam este uso tradicional, elaborando projectos modernos de inspiração alemã próxima de Walter Gropius. Prevaleceu então, até cerca de 1940, a linguagem da volumetria geométrica pura, ***tratada em alvenarias pintadas ou revestimentos a pedra***, com alguma atenção decorativa nos desenhos das janelas e das portas principais dos edifícios, em grades e puxadores metálicos cromados.
Contudo, para além do uso funcional por estritas razões sanitárias, o azulejo persistiu como decoração das entradas principais e revestimento integral de fachadas em prédios comuns de rendimento (havendo exemplos deste uso com este padrão) e de estabelecimentos comerciais, em especial padarias.
