French term or phrase: joints obliques des lambris
HI all -

I am translating a document about renovation/remodeling of office space describing work performed.

Here is one of the completed items:
-- habillage des murs de chêne gratté délavé avec des vitrages opacifiants installés en suivant les joints obliques des lambris

Does anyone know how to translate the phrase "joints obliques des lambris"?

Thanks!

diagonal joint lines of the board


Explanation:
one of the little problems is to find out what kind of lambris, are they like a board (plank) a panel, are they the pvc or wooden type etc.
If board like then you would say:
installed by following the diagonal joint lines of the boards

Hope that helps
