1/4 inch round

In the US it's that long piece of wood that joins sometimes two surfaces like baseboard molding(plinthe) and the floor.

Jonc = reed or cane in building so it would fit the piece of wood

agree zaphod : it's commonly called "quarter-round"

neutral Bourth (X) : Hardly common practice in France (assuming this is France). More context would help.

maybe it's Canada?
disagree Tony M : I entirely agree with Bourth's comment, but in any case, it shouldn't be 1/4 INCH round; the dimension is incorrect here, it simply means 'a quarter of a circle (= 90°)'

neutral Tony M : Doesn't make any sense to me in given context... Your ref. shows kinds of 'raccords', I don't see how you're interpreting 'jonc' in this way?

Why not ... those angle rings are supposed to connect when you want to go through a corner or if you want to curve your wooden or any other material construction. Take a look : http://www.goelscientific.com/images/Key-clampsb.gif

Can't help wondering

if what they are referring to is in fact the "cornière" (plastic or metal)placed on salient wall angles (where walls meet window or door reveals, for instance) and serving as a guide for plastering and/or as a knock-resistant element in the case of plaster wallboard. This is the modern practice, and the things are called PLASTER BEADS or ANGLE BEADS. In days of yore, the protective function at least was provided by a piece of three-quarter round timber fixed over the angle, and it could theoretically be that too.
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Yes, I immediately thought of corner or angle bead too; I've come across 'jonc' used like this before...

My idea that I'd seen the word used this way was vague, so nice to have confirmation. Certainly fits with the usage of "jonc" is joint infill, etc.
neutral sktrans : so, not 1/4 round, 3/4 round?

agree forli : sounds like "beading" to me
