What is RAUHSPUND?

German rough-sawn plank characterized by its high density, strength and longevity and is often used in the areas of roof sheathing, facades, intermediate floors in the roof truss, formwork purposes. It has a dark, uniform color and a rough, coarse structure, which gives it its name.

rough planking with tongue and groove is a type of assembly of wooden parts. The tongue-and-groove joint consists of a groove cut into a piece of wood and a tongue formed on the adjacent piece of wood. The two parts are connected with each other, by inserting them into each other. This type of connection is very stable and provides a strong connection for wooden parts without the need for nails or screws.

Applications of rough planking

German rough planked timber has a number of advantages that make it versatile:

  • Shelf life: Rough planked boards are robust and durable, allowing them to be used for long periods of time.
  • Stability: Due to its rough surface structure, rough planking offers good adhesion for screws and nails, thus providing a stable base for facades, etc.
  • Moisture resistance: Rough planking is moisture-resistant and can therefore be used in damp environments.

 

This is where rough planking comes into play

  • roof sheathing
  • Facades
  • intermediate floors in the roof truss
  • formwork purposes e.g. in bridge construction
