cheek (architecture)

[athiieh]

hello all!

what would 'cheek' mean in the context of a set of specifications about lead cladding?

Joints in cheeks
Intermediate fixings in cheeks

I can't figure out what the cheeks are.

Thanks very much!!!

The cheeks are the vertical sides of a dormer, usually triangular.
