Construction / Civil Engineering / Doors
German term or phrase: Friesfuge
Sorry I don't have any more context but this is a manufacturer of doors, some of which have a 'Friesfuge'?

English translation:visible joints (on door panel)
Explanation:
Look at the door panel itself. There are 4 timber pieces joined together.
A door without Friesfuge is image number 1 at: http://www.schoene-tueren.com/programm.php?programm=scala&PH...
A door with Friesfuge is image number 9.
The only difference is that the joint of the timber panels is highlighted / visible on the door with the Friesfuge.
Hope this helps

rail joint


Explanation:
This is a bit of guesswork.
In the one link below the diagrams have a Fries which is referred to as a rail in the corresponding English text.
The second link describes door construction including stile and rail joints

Maybe this will help a bit

neutral  freekfluweel: rail and stile are names for the particular panels...
2 hrs
  -> rail and stile refer to the top and sides of the door framehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_and_panel
neutral  pj-ffm: As freekfluweel says, rail=horizontal, stile=vertical members of the door frame into which the panel is set.
