What is RAUHSPUND?
German tongue and groove boards are characterized by their high density , strength , and durability , and are frequently used for roof sheathing, facades, intermediate floors in roof trusses, and formwork. They have a dark, uniform color and a rough, coarse texture, which gives them their name.
Tongue and groove boards are a type of wooden joint. The tongue and groove joint consists of a groove cut into one piece of wood and a corresponding tongue on the adjacent piece. The two pieces are joined by interlocking them. This type of joint is very strong and provides a secure connection for wooden parts without the need for nails or screws.
