Panel connection system for the corner connection of two panels which are arranged at an angled inclination to one another, having a first connecting element having a bearing portion with at least one support surface, by which the connecting element is supported on one of the two panels, and a leg portion which projects at an angled inclination from the bearing portion and which has at least one first engaging structure, and a second connecting element having a bearing portion having at least one support surface, by which the connecting element is supported on the other of the two panels, and having at least one second engaging structure which is situated opposite the support surface, wherein the at least one first engaging structure of the first connecting element is designed for engagement in the at least one second engaging structure of the second connecting element.

A floor system comprising a floor element, wherein said floor element comprises a top layer, preferably comprising a ceramic tile, and a support layer, wherein said support layer comprises edges provided with coupling elements, wherein the system comprises at least one coupling insert adapted to interact with one coupling element of the floor element.

The present disclosure relates to a panel (1) comprising a carrier (20) having a first surface (21) and a second surface (22), and a tile (10) comprising, e.g., a ceramic layer or a stone layer, the tile being positioned on and adhered to the carrier (20) by an adhesive and having a first surface (11) and a second surface (12), wherein the first surface (11) of the tile (10) is arranged on the second surface (22) of the carrier (20), wherein the panel (1) is provided with a mechanical locking system (40; 50; 60) for joining the panel (1) to an adjacent panel (1) along at least one edge of the panel (1), further comprising a positioning system (30) configured to position the tile (10) on the carrier (20), the positioning system (30) being arranged on the first surface (11) of the tile (10) and on the second surface (22) of the carrier (20), the positioning system (30) comprising at least one positioning member (31) and at least one recess (32) configured to receive the at least one positioning member (31). The disclosure also relates to a method to produce such a panel.

A flooring system with interlocking panels includes at least one panel assembly. The panel assembly includes a panel and at least one foot. A bottom side of the panel includes ribs forming cavities. Each cavity includes a rib with an opening. The foot is configured to couple to the bottom side of the panel. The foot includes clip assembles coupled to the top side of the foot. Each clip assembly includes a flexible plate and a hook. The first end of the flexible plate is coupled to the top side of the foot. The second end of the flexible plate is decoupled from top side of the foot. The hook resides at the second end of the flexible plate and is configured to reside within the opening in the rib of a corresponding cavity. The foot includes openings that allow moisture and air to traverse.

The present disclosure relates to single layer portable dance floors comprising, in various embodiments, one or more removably couplable panels that can be used alone or assembled and disassembled in modular configurations, including or one or more panels that can be connected with an electrical cord, a fastener, or a living hinge. The panels can comprise lightweight and durable materials that can be flexible or rigid, such that the portable dance floors that are light and durable and can be easily stored, transported, and assembled or disassembled and dismantled by a single user or a low number of users, and do not require additional securing mechanisms such as adhesives or underlayments to function as dance floors. The present disclosure also relates to methods of assembling and disassembling or dismantling a portable dance floor.

An insulated panel for a wall treatment and a method of manufacture thereof. The panel includes a panel block cast from a material. During casting, a first bracket, a second bracket, and an insulator block are partially embedded within the material. The insulator block, which is a lighter weight foam material, is embedded between the first and second brackets such that part of the insulator block will extend beyond a rear of the panel block once cast. Once cast, part of the first bracket extends upwardly beyond a top of the panel block and part of the second bracket angles downwardly and outwardly from the rear of the panel block and a distance below the insulator block. The second bracket is used to align the panel on a support surface. The first bracket is used to secure the panel to the support surface.
