TG is the abbreviation for tongue and groove which refers to the interlocking edge of the boards. TG&V refers to the v-joint of the finished profile once two boards are interlocked. The longer tongue will allow for a secret fix, meaning that you will not need to fix this profile through the face.
Tongue and groove cladding is one of the most versatile profile types available because of its wide range of uses including gates, garden screens, fencing and cladding.
The interlocking nature of tongue and groove boards make them easy to fit and weatherproof.
A notable downside of tongue and groove cladding is the difficulty of removing or replacing boards once in place.
