large wooden planks

I think that it is important to mention the material that the "listoni" are made from..... ;)
Note from asker:

wooden slats

this is tiled flooring, with wooden slats (or strips) inserted as a second, dividing material. The "-oni" ending may be misleading: depending on context, this may refer to a "greater length" rather than a "greater width".
