Hello,
We are in the process of building a house in the Stockholm archipelago and are thinking of creating a bit of an archipelago feel by having vertical painted paneling (plank) in the main room and the equivalent, but horizontal, in one of the bedrooms.
The carpenter is hesitant as he says, probably with good reason, that you will see insulation, etc., through the gaps between the planks. He suggests tongue-and-groove timber, which is not what we initially had in mind.
I would like to ask for advice on how/what we should do?
Best regards,
Peter

Of course, it should be spont. The only real difference is that the gaps won't be quite as deep and they become "wood-filled."
Unless you're aiming for really wide planks. But then you can go with floorboards...or use regular planks with thin masonite underneath...

Question: Do you then buy regular tongue and groove wood, planed? Like 16x60 or 16x95, whatever you want? I've looked a bit into panels but there really isn't anything similar to what we're talking about here in standard assortments.
