tongue and groove sheathing
Explanation:
I believe 'pløyd' refers to tongue and groove (somtimes T&G). 'Underpanel' may refer to the sheathing process, drywall is most commonly used for this, but you won't find T&G drywall panels. Plywood is also used, but rarely if any in T/G. 'Underpanel' may also refer to regular planks (1"x6" or 1"8" etc) which do come in T&G. So a more generic term would perhaps be T&G sheathing.

You are right. 'plog' or 'pløyd' may be the same at what they refer to 'End matched'. Not sure if there is another word for that.

Asker: thanx. This is what I thought, but I also had reference to "not og fjær panel", so I thought reference was to something else.
