A de-constructible enclosure has a structural frame with a post, a first panel with a first end, and a second panel with a second end. The post has a substantially H-shaped cross-section including a first recess on a first side of the post and a second recess on a second side of the post. The first recess of the post receives the first end of the first panel. The second recess of the post receives the second end of the second panel. The post, the first panel, and the second panel together define a wall of the enclosure. A method for manufacturing the de-constructible enclosure further includes caulking joints of the connected post and panels and applying an elastomeric coating to the joints to seal the wall of the enclosure.

Building panels, especially floor panels are shown, which are provided with a locking system that is configured to lock the adjacent edges by angling and that have a tongue and a strip on the same edge, and a method to divide a board and produce such building panels. A method for dividing a floor element, into a first floor panel and a second floor panel, said floor element including a core provided with a decorative surface layer and a balancing layer, wherein the method includes the step of forming, through the balancing layer or the decorative surface layer, a second groove by displacing the floor element past a fixed tool.

Electromagnetically shielded and self-supporting panels form a shielded enclosure. The use of prefabricated, shielded and self-supporting panels to construct an enclosure reduces the time and cost of constructing such an enclosure.

The present invention relates to a floor panel, a flooring system including the panel and methods of use thereof for forming a graded wet area, floor, pathway or decking. In one form, the present invention provides a floor panel for forming a graded wet area. The panel includes a pair of opposed surfaces including an upper surface and an opposed lower surface interconnected by opposed side edges, a first end edge and an opposed second end edge. The panel further includes a plurality of protrusions protruding from one of the opposed surfaces and extending at least partially across the panel between the opposed side edges, said protrusions protruding at differing heights from the one of the opposed surfaces to define a panel gradient extending between the first end edge and the second end edge.

Described herein is an stain and sag resistant acoustic building panel comprising a porous body formed from building material and latex binder, wherein the building material may include fibers and filler and at one of the building materials has been pre-treated with a charge-modifying component, thereby enhancing the sag-resistance of the building panel.

A method of installing a trough or trench for containing a cryogenic spill, includes the step of constructing multiple precast concrete sections at a first location, each section having a bottom wall and spaced apart side walls connected to and extending up from the bottom wall. Each section has end portions that enable connection to another concrete section. The method includes (at the first location), preparing multiple panels of polymeric concrete material by filling one or more molds with a slurry or liquid polymeric concrete material and after time allowing the material to cure and harden. At the first location, one or more of the panels is adhered to the bottom wall and side walls of each concrete section using an adhesive. After adhering of the panels to the concrete sections, the concrete sections are transported from the first location to a second location that is remote from the first location. At the second location, the concrete sections are connected together using connections that join one end portion of a concrete section to and end portion of another concrete section. In one embodiment, the trough or trench is placed next to a pipe rack having cryogen containing flow lines. A slab and riser arrangement preferably channel any spill to the trough or trench.

This invention relates to prefabricated, lightweight, multi-component structural modular building panels and modular building systems. The said panels are framed with edge members that have a unique connecting shape, making them modular. The multi-component panel allows for design flexibility and the mass manufacturing of its components. Connectors serve as a link to assemble the panels together, and to connect them to corners, floors or foundations, roof panels and the roof apex member, and or other conventional construction elements. Connectors and members, all with unique connecting shapes, coupled with the said panels, create a structural wall, roof, similar structure or building system. Assembled panels and members incorporate the primary building structure and the building envelope. The assembled panels, members and other components of the building system, in part or whole, can be flat packed for easy transport and shipping, and can be assembled quickly and easily with semi-skilled labor.

A connection is provided where angled fasteners connect a beam and a wooden panel to make a composite panel.
