Staple wood
Stakholz (also Stake , Stakung , palings or piece of wood ) referred to in the building industry , an approximately armlanges split wood piece of round, rectangular or triangular cross-section .
Pikes are often used in wood beam ceilings . They are pushed into grooves that have previously been knocked or cut into the side surfaces of the wooden beams .
Until the late 19th century it was still customary to wrap stake logs in strands from a clay - straw mixture before they were placed in the wooden beam ceiling or in the compartment of a half-timbered wall as clay wraps or corrugated timbers . After smoothing the surface of the loam with the addition of clay plaster, a solid and relatively airtight and soundproof layer was obtained. Alternatively, the straw-clay mixture was only applied after the stakes had been pushed in.
The method of making wattle walls is even older , in which the stake wood was brought in somewhat larger apart, braided with willow rods and finally thrown with a clay mixture and smoothed.
In the restoration of half-timbered houses , stake wood is still used today in wooden beam ceilings and clay boxes .
