Tongue and groove joints allow two flat pieces to be joined strongly together to make a single flat surface. Before plywood became common, tongue and groove boards were also used for sheathing buildings and to construct concrete formwork. A strong joint, the tongue and groove joint is widely used for re-entrant angles
Matchboarding can be used both internally and externally, and can be layered in many different styles including: square edge, feather edge, ship lap and tongue and groove. [2] [3] Matchboard was most popular in the late Victorian period, when woodworking machinery had developed that could cut the edge joints quickly and cheaply.
The plaster is then mixed with water, stirred and poured into molds to form gypsum blocks with standard formats, either solid, or with round or square open cores to reduce weight and conserve materials. Each block is moulded with tongue and groove at all sides, to enable quick and easy assembly. Still wet, the gypsum blocks are taken out of the ...
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.

Chamferboards are an Australian form of weatherboarding using tongue-and-groove joints to link the boards together to give a flatter external appearance than regular angled weatherboards. Finger jointed
39 in (990 mm) wainscoting using 3 in (76 mm) tongue and groove pine boards. Panelling (or paneling in the United States) is a millwork wall covering constructed from rigid or semi-rigid components. [1] These are traditionally interlocking wood, but could be plastic or other materials.
Panels are sheets of pre-profiled copper with lengths up to 4–5 m (13–16 ft) and standard widths up to 500 mm (20 in). They are two-sided cladding elements that can be with or without an end base. Assembly is performed using the tongue and groove principle or by overlapping. Panels can be assembled vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
A flat panel has its visible face flush with the front of the groove in the frame. This gives the panel an inset appearance. This style of panel is commonly made from man-made materials such as MDF or plywood but may also be made from solid wood or tongue and groove planks. Panels made from MDF will be painted to hide their appearance, but ...
