peer agreement (net): +1hit-and-miss composite boards/planks on pedestals Explanation: Basically a raised or secondary floor. These are (were?) commonly used in computer rooms. Square panels are placed on plots or pedestals (usually with a screw-jack system for height adjustment) at each corner (each pedestal supporting the corners of 4 panels). Cables and ventilation, etc. can be run freely through the space beneath this floor. The same principle is often used for flat roofs to protect the waterproofing. "Hit-and-miss" implies a large or largish gap between the boards, something akin to picket fencing. Non jointif may in fact imply a smaller gap of a millimetre or two sufficient for water to drip through. Can't think of a good term right now ("non-contiguous" springs to mind though). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2011-05-20 08:27:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or simply "with gaps between them". I would like to install a RAISED FLOORING (removable) in our 16' wood (Lowell Boat Shop) sailboat - about 3/4" above the boat bottom. Essentially to keep gear dry. I have plenty of 4/4 ash that I plan to rip to .375" thickness. Need some suggestions on BOARD WIDTH AND SPACING [ ... ] I built mine with aprox. 1/8" GAPS BETWEEN THE STRIPS -- wide enough for water to drain through, narrow enough to not catch lines or hardware. http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?93240-Raised-floo... A RAISED ACCESS FLOOR comprises of load bearing floor panels laid in a horizontal grid supported by adjustable vertical PEDESTALS to provide an under floor space for the housing and distribution of services. The floor panels are readily removable to allow quick access to the under floor services. PEDESTAL This is the complete vertical, adjustable supporting structure to the raised floor panels. The pedestals are normally bonded to the sub floor using a epoxy resin based adhesive with mechanical fixings also provided if required. The pedestal assembly provides vertical adjustment of 1½" to allow the raised floor to be installed flat and level despite undulations in the sub floor. The pedestal head provides panel location and also when required a means of fixing the panel to the pedestal head. In these situations there are certain attributes of the raised access floor that become important. The leakage of air through PANEL JOINTS and at perimeters will need to be kept within specific parameters for the required air pressure differential. The air leakage rate through the panel joint line is dependant on the size of GAP BETWEEN THE PANELS, which is dependant upon the manufactured quality of the panel edge detail and also the quality of the raised floor installation http://www.asmproducts.com/faq.htm |

composite deck boards on posts Explanation: I had to translate this kind of documents from English to French, here are a few references, you will find may others with these terms. You could specify "with gaps" for "non-jointives", but the instructions I could see for composite decks always specify a gap for draining and thermal growth, so this may be considered implied Reference: http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/decks/surface/new1/compos...
