heltäckta

Heltäckta is a Swedish adjective meaning “fully covered” or “completely covered.” It is formed from the prefix helt- meaning “completely” and the past participle täckt (covered) from the verb täcka (to cover). In typical usage, heltäckta accompanies plural nouns, yielding phrases such as heltäckta ytor or heltäckta tak. The singular form is usually heltäckt.

Usage notes emphasize its descriptive role in technical, architectural, and everyday language. Heltäckta is used to indicate that an object or area is wholly covered by a material or layer, such as surfaces, roofs, or protective coverings. In addition to physical contexts, the term can appear in marketing or descriptive writing to convey thorough or complete coverage. For purely linguistic contrast, another related adjective is heltäckande, which more often conveys the sense of “comprehensive” or “all-encompassing,” especially in non-physical contexts.

Etymology and status: the word combines helt- with täckt, and is part of standard Swedish vocabulary. It appears in dictionaries and contemporary usage as a common descriptor in both technical and general language.
