Hi
From a description of the powder store at Brest castle:
"Un plancher en bois chevillé construit sur un vide sanitaire..."
Is it correct to say a "dowelled wood floor"?
Many thanks in advance.

Fort George was built between the end of the Jacobite rebellion and 1769. The Grand Magazine was designed to hold 2,500 barrels of gunpowder [...] It has a slate roof laid on brick vaults, which sit on stone pillars. To prevent sparks, no iron fittings are used in the magazine: ** the wooden floor is held by wooden dowels ** and the doors and shutters sheathed with copper sheet.
