junta a tope


Explanation:
Una junta a tope suele ser de madera con la que una pieza de material (madera) se coloca contra otra pieza. Una parte es horizontal y la otra es vertical con su parte arriba colocada con la otra parte horizontal. Para fortalecer la junta se requieren sujetores o pegamento.

tope y cabezal


Explanation:
Comencemos por ver esta página en WikiPedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butt_joint en donde se describe muy bien lo que es un "butt-joint." Entonces lo que manifiesta es todo aquello que "encaja" o que se "junta" de forma predeterminada. Los términos que conozco son: "macho y hembra" o "machihembrado" que generalmente se usan en términos de madera para techos o precisamente para pisos porque cada pieza está hecha para encajar perfectamente con las otras. En en contexto en que diste, se refiere a revisar que las juntas de los pisos estén perfectamente acopladas y que mantengan las distancias ideales. Recuerda que en los pisos se utilizan unos separadores para garantizar la uniformidad de las baldosas y que no se sellen de manera torcida. En resumen y como estamos hablando de pisos yo utilizaría "machihembrado" pero el decir junta de tope y cabezal también se puede aunque es un término más mecánico como para piezas mecánicas. ¡Suerte!

Example sentence(s):
  • Los separadores se usan para garantizar los espacios requeridos en el machihembrado del piso.
  • La cadera es una junta de tope y cabezal.
