What is V-joint tongue and groove?

V-joint tongue and groove (also called v-groove) is a type of wood panelling used most often on walls and ceilings. You will find this handsome cladding in traditional and modern homes alike. In fact, pine v-joint tongue and groove is our top selling product (we also offer fir, cedar and a selection of hardwoods).

The words “tongue and groove” refer to the type of join that holds the boards together. Think of a tab sliding into a slot. This type of joint is strong and stable; perfect for flat surfaces. The “V-joint” modifier refers to the overall look where the edge of the board is cut on the diagonal. With the boards joined together, the slants form a decorative V-shape. The result is a lovely, textured surface that can be aligned vertically or horizontally, as you wish.

Classically, tongue and groove boards evoke a country-style feel, warm and welcoming to both family and guests. In more contemporary settings, v-joint panelling softens interior spaces to create a character-rich, cosy environment. Alternatively, it readily captures a sense of history; of early design embodying strength, stalwartness and perseverance.

In any of these scenarios, combine the wood with other natural materials such as stone or marble and indoor greenery to bring about a calming or relaxing atmosphere. Design opportunities are wide open for this versatile medium.

V-joint tongue and groove comes with a number of finishing options. Leave it raw for a completely rustic feel. Stain it (know that it will darken with age). Or paint it, befitting your mood and desired ambiance.
