Almuefyldning
Danish to English
Other
Furniture / Household Appliances
There isn't a lot of context for this. Basically, the text describes a new kitchen (including the type of wood used and so on). The sentence I have problems with is:
Almuefyldning og kantpatinering.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Almuefyldning og kantpatinering.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Sorry Gitte - first I agree with you, then I come with my own suggestion. I would just have added it to yours but I had run out of characters!

Note from asker:
Thank you for your help Michele. I decided to write to the client, since I was unable to pick from all your very qualified suggestions. They responded with "rustic panelling"... whether this applies to all cases or just this, I am not certain. In any case, thanks again. |

The context is a kitchen, so I assume the panels on the cabinet doors is what is meant. These come in many styles - flat, beadbord, "Almue", etc.

Thank you Sven. I decided to write to the client who apparently wants "rustic panelling". |

David Young (X)
: Not general terminology - the adjective "cottage" is a certain style of paneling/panelling which some manufacturers seem to use to make it more "hyggelig" :)

paneling
If you google 'almuefyldning' (or almue fyldning) and look at the images that come up, it would seem to be the same as 'panelling'.

Hi Gitte, thanks so much for your help. As I wrote to Michele and David above, I was unable to make a decision, so I wrote to the client who responded with "rustic panelling". |

: AmE. paneling. BritE: panelling.
This the general term.

I disagree with Sven's "cottage panel" - this strikes me as a manufacturer's epithet.
patinering = patination - new to me. see wikipedia "patina"

Thanks David, for pointing out my unfortunate use of 'paneling' and 'panelling', respectively. Sloppy work on my part. :-(
