Bordázott

Bordázott is a Hungarian adjective meaning ribbed or grooved, referring to a surface that has a regular pattern of raised ridges or channels. The noun form bordázat denotes the ribbing or corrugation itself. The term is used across disciplines to describe textures that improve grip, strength, light diffusion, or aesthetic effect.

In architecture and construction, bordázott surfaces can be structural or decorative. Bordázott boltozat, for example, describes a ribbed vault where parallel arches create a framework of ribs. Bordázott walls or panels may use ridges to add rigidity or to create shadow lines that enhance visual depth.

In materials and manufactured goods, bordázott patterns appear on glass, wood, metal, and textiles. Bordázott üveg refers to ribbed glass, which diffuses light and creates a textured appearance. Bordázott fabrics feature raised stripes or channels, providing additional elasticity, warmth, or grip. Ribbing is also common on pipes, hoses, and mechanical components to improve flexibility or handling.

Bordázott surfaces are valued for combining functional benefits—such as increased strength, better grip, or light diffusion—with decorative texture. The term is widely applied in design, architecture, and manufacturing, and it often appears in product specifications, catalogs, and technical descriptions.
