2. Tongue and groove - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue_and_groove

   Tongue and groove is a method of fitting similar objects together, edge to edge, used mainly with wood, in flooring, parquetry, panelling, and similar constructions. Tongue and groove joints allow two flat pieces to be joined strongly together to make a single flat surface.

3. Wood flooring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_flooring

   The tongue and groove fit snugly together, thus joining or aligning the planks, and are not visible once joined. Tongue-and-groove flooring can be installed by glue-down (both engineered and solid), floating (engineered only), or nail-down (both solid and engineered). "Click" or Woodloc systems: a number of patented "click" systems now exist.

4. Laminate flooring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminate_flooring

   Laminate flooring is packaged as a number of tongue and groove planks, which can be clicked into one another. Sometimes a glue backing is provided for ease of installation. Installed laminate floors typically "float" over the sub-floor on top of a foam/film underlayment, which provides moisture- and sound-reducing properties.

5. Plywood - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plywood

   Subfloors are at least 19 millimetres (3 ⁄ 4 in) thick, the thickness depending on the distance between floor joists. Plywood for flooring applications is often tongue and groove (T&G); This prevents one board from moving up or down relative to its neighbor, providing a solid-feeling floor when the joints do not lie over joists.

6. Joinery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joinery

   Groove joint: Like the dado joint, except that the slot is cut with the grain. Sometimes referred to interchangeably with the dado joint. Tongue and groove: Each piece has a groove cut all along one edge, and a thin, deep ridge (the tongue) on the opposite edge. If the tongue is unattached, it is considered a spline joint.

7. Sustainable flooring - Wikipedia
