GB: close." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 48 mins (2008-04-02 09:33:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, my keyboard slipped back to English: "qsse;blqge" is, of course "assemblage"! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-04-02 10:11:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The term is not only used for fencing: "It has a moulded handrail of that period filled in below with **close panelling** instead of balusters.

stick, wrong end of? Explanation: I suppose you don't have pictures! It's just that the very word "profil" suggests that this is anything but(t) simple butt joints, but(t) rather tongue and groove, etc. Look at the "profil jointif" of these floor boards for instance! http://www.silverwood.fr/Commun_GP/Catalogue/Produits/Planch... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-04-02 10:36:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually, looking at ALL the illustrations on the site above, it would appear that "jointif" refers to the "edge" of the joint, so it means the surface across the joint is flat and unbroken, as opposed to the "moucheté" and "grain d'orge" details on the underside the boarding in the two lower pictures. So a "profil jointif" could be plain butt-jointed but could also be tongue and groove, on condition that the external faces are flat. Now, how do we say that ? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-04-02 10:38:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- We have words like "quirk" and "V joint" for when the joint is NOT jointif. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-04-02 11:02:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- No help but ... It is difficult to make a join in wood based panels such as MDF and Particleboard for wall paneling and not show the join. The slightest movement will show up and look unsightly so the best alternative is to make the join look attractive, and this can be achieved in many ways. The most common types of joint for wall paneling is a ‘V’ joint, a slip tongue joint or tongue and groove. http://www.laminex.com.au/pdf/appenx/board_products.pdf I started to consider "close jointed" but it appears that refers only to the width of any gap, and the edges can be chamfered (here for paving stones): For ease and speed of laying the 400 range of flags may be laid close jointed (2-3 mm) with the chambered edges giving extra definition to the joints http://www.roadstone.ie/resources/pdfs/Concrete_Paving.pdf Similarly, "flush-jointed" does not appear to work: The joints between adjoining pieces are usually v-shaped but flush jointed... these different joints and surface textures in tongue and groove cladding combine to provide a range of shadow line effects that enhance the product's versatility http://www.cedaroutdoors.co.uk/Cedar_Cladding/Tongue__Groove... However, it just might work : Tongue & Groove T&G Siding is a best seller because of its versatility. It can be used indoors or outdoors, rough side or smooth side, installed horizontally, vertically or diagonally, to provide distinctly different looks. The board edges are usually "beveled" but other styles that include FLUSH-JOINTED, reveal and radius joints are also available. T&G siding has both a rough and smooth face and is graded to the rough face. http://www.buffalo-lumber.com/siding-patterns.htm (site has a number of illustrations,but none identified as "flush joint" unfortunately) One of my dictionaries defines (and illustrates): "straight joint ... In carpentry, a joint between two timbers which are laid edge to edge without a tongue and groove, dowels, or overlap to bind ther; also call a square joint" Which don't work neither. Maybe we need to get away from "joint" and go for something like "flush mating", "plain mating" ... |

random match panelling Explanation: Why not use the same phrase as for wallpapers, since you don't like butt-jointed. But you can also find "butt joint" in the GDT, though translated "plat-joint" which a synonym of "assemblage jointif". And the web gives hits galore. |
