Skirting board/Basedboard Explanation: For Sockelleiste see above, Duebel = Dowel (would need more context) Klemmprofil = Clamping profile (would need more context) Gipskartonplatte = gypsum plaster board. Sorry, haven't been able to find adequate transaltions for your other queries, would probably need more context. Found 'guard rail' for Schrammboard but I don't think this is correct in this context.

see below Explanation: Sounds to me like the objects under discussion are wallpaper or [wall-to-wall] carpeting. Bahn in this context would refer to the width of the carpet or wall paper. I wonder if a term like "underlay" might work for Zwischendämmung - it sounds to me like an additional layer under the carpeting to absorb noise. Also, the Duebel I know from growing up in Germany are bolts which require drilling into the [concrete] walls (or molly bolts for plaster walls). I'm afraid this is not much help, but I wanted to add my two bits' worth... |

(see below) Explanation: Sorry, but I have to disagree with most in the previous posts (mind you, my translations are American English): Sockelleiste - baseboard strip UCI-Spezialteppich - UCI-approved carpet Duebel - anchor Bahnenwar... - ? (this got cut off) Lichtschiene - track lighting Sockel - baseboard Schrammboard - ? (this sounds like mishlanguage :->) Bahnenabstand - roll width (if this refers to wallpaper) Klemmprofil - clamp molding/trim(?) Zwischendaemmung - vapor barrier Vlies- und Rieselschutz - fleece and trickle(?) cover Gipskartonplatten - drywall/plaster wallboard Home Depot - Home Improvement Book Black & Decker - Home Repair Book |

pad(ding), drywall, Explanation: »I wonder if a term like "underlay" might work for Zwischendämmung - it sounds to me like an additional layer under the carpeting to absorb noise« If that is indeed what is being referred to it is called "pad(ding)" in US-English. And "drywall" is what the builders here slap on top of the insulation. Looks like you are going to have to do some raisin-picking here. Good luck. Kristina |

baseboard, UCI carpet, dowel, rolls of wallpaper/carpet Explanation: Lichtschiene: light fixtur rail Sockel: protrusion at the bottom of a wall, may be a baseboard or tiles going one height up the wall, Schrammboard (what a nice mixture of german and english...) protection board to avoid scratches, usually either at the bottom of the wall (scratches when cleaning the floor) or at corners. Bahnenabstand-I would suppose this is the width of the material, unless you leave a space to put something else or for thermal expansion under a joint, depends on context. Klemmprofil: I'm not sure, could be some kind of mounting rail Zwichendämmung: not sure, the idea is an intermediate insulation (heat or sound) Vlies- un Rieselschutz: Hoe about protection fleece and percolation protection |
