What is Tongue & Groove?
Tongue and groove is a fitting method commonly used in wooden boards. It features an edge with a ridge (the tongue) that fits snugly into a groove on the opposing edge of another board. This creates a seamless connection between the boards, resulting in a strong and visually appealing surface.
