Voeg

Voeg is a Dutch noun that denotes a joint, seam, or gap between elements such as bricks, stones, or panels. In construction and masonry, the term refers to the space that is filled with mortar or grout. In carpentry and paneling, a voeg can describe the junction line where boards meet, often designed to accommodate movement or tolerances. In tilework, the word commonly points to the grout line between tiles.

The word derives from Middle Dutch voeg, and is cognate with the German Fuge, both referring to a joining or separation between parts. The related verb voegen means to join, fit, or lay joints.

In addition to its architectural meaning, voeg may appear as a surname and as part of place names in Dutch-speaking regions. The term is primarily encountered in technical contexts related to masonry, tiling, and carpentry, but its broad sense as a seam or joining point can be found in everyday language describing how components come together.
