Inndekking

Inndekking is a Norwegian term that refers to the act of covering, enclosing, or shielding something from the inside. The word combines inn- meaning inside with dekke meaning to cover, and it is used in several fields to describe the introduction of an inner layer or lining.

In construction and architecture, inndekking typically denotes the installation of inner coverings or linings. This can include interior cladding, insulation, moisture barriers, or protective linings around structural elements. The choice of materials and the specific configuration depend on goals such as thermal performance, sound insulation, moisture control, or fire safety, and the term is often used to describe a phase of finishing work rather than a distinct product.

In manufacturing and packaging, inndekking is used to describe applying an internal protective layer or lining. Examples include inner wraps, cushioning, or barrier layers placed between a product and outer packaging to reduce damage during handling and transport.

The term is context-dependent and its precise meaning can vary by discipline. While it broadly refers to adding something on the inside of a larger whole, different industries may prefer more specific terms such as inner cladding, lining, or insulation. Users should consult field-specific usage to determine the exact scope and requirements associated with inndekking in a given project.
