Splice beadboards

[Düsseldorff]

Were they end-grooved then?

Yes.

Looks nice. In the second picture, I don't see any seams. Maybe it will have seams anyway 🤔

There are joints here and there, but since it's well-made, the joints aren't visible.

Is there end-jointed beadboard? Never heard of it. But I think you will always see the joints. Not because of moisture movement, it mostly goes across the grain, barely any along the grain. But because the boards warp differently. It might be worth checking that the boards on each side of the joint have heartwood on the same side so that they warp in the same way.

Is there end-jointed pärlspont? Never heard of it.
But I think you will always see the joints. Not because of moisture movement, which mostly occurs across the fibers, hardly at all along them. But because the boards bow differently. It might be worth checking that the boards on each side of the joint have heartwood on the same side so they bow the same.

There was at least. The ceiling in the pictures I showed above is end-jointed. It's not pärlspont but similar and over 100 years old. In some places, you can see the end joints clearly, but most require side light to see.

Is there tongue and groove wainscoting with end matching? Never heard of it.

The panel board is end matched.

Bought beadboard from Veckebosåg a few years ago and it is tongue and grooved at the ends. Available to order in different widths but in varying lengths. (Though most of it was the same length)

Bought beadboard from Veckebosåg a couple of years ago and it is tongue and grooved at the ends. Available for order in different widths but in varying lengths. (Though most were the same length)

Did you splice it on the length? How do the joints look?

It will be fine to extend it longitudinally. It is an old house, and both the floor and the ceiling have been extended lengthwise previously. Just remember to paint before you install the beadboard. (At least one or two coats, depending on the type of paint you use.)

Will use pre-painted 🙂
