1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): -1
peer agreement (net): -1enlever des planchers de bois franc Explanation: Au Québec, c'est la façon d'appeler ce type de plancher. Pour strip, je pense qu'il s'agit carrément d'un retrait du plancher plutôt que d'un sablage. |

peer agreement (net): +1plancher à lames étroites en bois dur Explanation: I can't vouch for the validity of this term, but it may at least give someone else the idea for what it ought to be. These aren't really 'lattes', but neither are they 'planches', and I've seen some in our local DIY store called 'lames', though I don't know if that term is generally applicable. And I think 'bois dur' is commonly used for hardwood. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 minutes (2012-02-01 19:46:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I did leave out the 'massif', which is, I feel, inclined to make the expression a little clumsy and could safely be left out. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 minutes (2012-02-01 19:49:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's a good example (albeit scratched!) — though note that many images you find are actually of the 'mock' variety and not 'real wood' at all. http://inspectapedia.com/interiors/Oak_Strip_Flooring023-DJF... But at least it does show the narrowness of the 'strips' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 heure (2012-02-01 20:41:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think that 'parquet' would be fine in French, as it is used more generally for a polished wood floor — and is indeed the term I meant to suggest instead of 'plancher' In EN, 'parquet flooring' tends to be used to refer only to a floor where cut blocks or short strips of wood are laid in a specific pattern (cf. images like these: http://www.parquet-77.fr/parquet-ancien.php ) whereas in FR it is often applied to quite lowly 'ordinary' wood floors (of just the sort of type you have here!) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 heure (2012-02-01 20:44:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It's worth considering including the 'bois massif', in order to avoid any possibility of confusion with the inferior 'parquet flottant', which is often made of laminated board. There's plenty of information out there on Google about this sort of thing, just try searching for images or articles on a few key words and you should find something that will suit your needs. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 heure (2012-02-01 20:51:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So, finally: parquet à lames en bois dur massif |
