neutral  Erzsébet Czopyk: kroknar - is when the wood settles over time (under weight). Warping is a deviation from flatness as the wood shrinks from ist "dry" side and expands from a humidity access on the other - finally you cannot close the window...

Explanation:
Man säger att träet slår sig, eller att det blir skevt eller böjer sig. Se exempelmeningar nedan.

Example sentence(s):
  • Allt trä ruttnar om det utsätts för fukt, det krymper och slår sig då det torkar.
  • Ett sätt att komma runt detta problem är att i ett tidigt skede sortera ut det virke som man vet kommer att slå sig, precis som man gjorde förr i tiden.

agree  larserik: "Slår sig" är snickarterminologi. "Blir skevt" kan vara bättre beroende på målgruppen.

  -> Ja, så är det nog. Tack!

agree  Erzsébet Czopyk: I sent an sms to my client who is a carpenter and works in Sweden and the reply was this "slar sig" I think he has not an 'å' but he meant the same.

  -> Yeah, probably he could not send you an 'å', or maybe your phone cannot receive it? Either way, I guess. Thanks!
