juntas/uniones levantadas


Explanation:
También podría cambiarse el orden y decir "levantamiento de juntas/uniones". Se refiere al efecto que produce la unión/junta entre dos piezas de un piso laminado que, al levantarse por deformación, humedad, etc., provocan un efecto de pequeña "carpa" o triángulo hacia arriba (de ahí el "tenting").

Juntas levantadas. Parquet laminado:
