The present invention discloses an assembly of prefabricated wall modular decoration, comprising a conventional decorative material, a plate, a movable laminating layer and a protective layer. The conventional decorative material being mounted on the surface of the plate, a number of movable laminating layers being evenly spaced between the plate and the protective layer making a sound-insulated air gap between them, and the protective layer being mounted on the surface of the wall. The present invention also discloses an installation method for the assembly above. Due to the traditional decorative material, the plate, the active lamination layer, and the protective layer of the present invention are set to be installed on the wall in turn, together with the sound-insulated air gap within the structure, which is not only simple to manufacture and easy to install, but also has better sound absorption performance which could reduce the noise nuisance.

Conformable, stretchable, printable films are described. In particular, films that include a film substrate, a pressure sensitive adhesive, and a hybrid solvent barrier/primer layer including a blend of two copolyamides that are not miscible are described. Such hybrid solvent barrier and primer layers may be effective as both a solvent barrier and a primer layer.

Provided is a method for producing a decorative material, including: a preparation step of preparing sheet printed matters each including a substrate and a picture layer on one surface of the substrate and a roll of a transparent resin film having a first surface and a second surface opposing to each other, the first surface having a pattern of protrusions and depressions, the second surface having a pattern of protrusions and depressions that is shallower than the pattern of protrusions and depressions on the first surface; an application step of winding off the transparent resin film from the roll of a transparent resin film and applying an adhesive to the second surface of the transparent resin film; and a bonding step of bonding the second surface of the transparent resin film and the picture layer of each of the sheet printed matters with the adhesive.

There is provided a transfer sheet capable of preventing film cracking in thermocompression transfer. To that end, a base material layer (2), a transfer layer (3) provided on one surface (2a) side of the base material layer (2), and an adhesion layer (4) provided on an opposite surface (3a) side to the base material layer (2) of the transfer layer (3) are included, for example. A resin constituting the transfer layer (3) is an uncured ionizing radiation curable resin. A resin constituting the adhesion layer (4) is a thermosetting resin not containing a component causing the resin to exhibit liquid repellency.

A method for manufacturing a personalized or customized decorative surface (103) having decorative laminate panels (119) including the steps of: segmenting a digital image of the personalized or customized decorative surface (103) into a plurality of decorative laminate panel images (108), wherein each decorative laminate panel image (108) is sized to fit on a decorative laminate panel (119); assigning a positioning code (109) to a decorative laminate panel image (108) for identifying its position in the digital image of the personalized or customized decorative surface (103); creating a non-staggered digital layout (110) of the plurality of decorative laminate panel images (108); inkjet printing the non-staggered digital layout (110) on a substrate (112); heat pressing the inkjet printed substrate with a protective layer (115) into a decorative laminate (113); dividing the decorative laminate (113) into decorative laminate panels (119), wherein the front side of a decorative laminate panel (119) includes one of the plurality of inkjet printed decorative laminate panel images (108) and the back-side of decorative laminate panel (119) includes the positioning code (109) of the decorative laminate panel image (108) inkjet printed on the front side of the decorative laminate panel (119).

The invention relates to an area covering element including at least one sheet-like carrier core, at least one protective layer and a decorative layer arranged between the sheet-like carrier core and the at least one protective layer. The sheet-like carrier core consists in this case of a strong, load-bearing carrier material and has at least an upper side and an underside arranged opposite from the upper side and also at least a first and second side face, arranged opposite from one another and respectively joining the upper side and underside. The decorative layer is formed by a printed film, which is firmly connected to the carrier core, the printed film at least partially covering at least the upper side and the first and second side faces of the sheet-like carrier core and the protective layer covering the full surface area at least of the printed film connected to the carrier core.
