A thermally adaptive wall covering is operable to cover at least part of a wall and to move in response to a change in covering temperature. The wall covering includes a laminated composite panel with first and second panel layers and an intermediate connecting structure that connects the panel layers relative to one another along an interface defined between the panel layers. The first and second panel layers have, respectively, first and second coefficients of thermal expansion that are different from each other and cause expansion and contraction of the corresponding panel layers along an interface therebetween. The connecting structure permits expansion and/or contraction of each panel layer relative to the other panel layer in response to the covering temperature change so that the panel flexes.

A floor board including a decorative surface layer applied to a substrate, where the substrate is optionally MDF or HDF material at a side edge thereof, and at least one side edge together with a side edge opposite thereto forming a first pair of opposite side edges of said substrate. The first pair of opposite side edges includes mechanical first and second coupling parts, respectively, allowing the floor board to be coupled at the respective side edges with a similar floor board. Also, a floor board covering consisting of a plurality of the floor boards and a method for manufacturing such floor boards.

The present disclosure provides embodiments of a reinforced porcelain panel product such as for renovations or new construction in buildings. In an embodiment, a reinforced porcelain panel product includes a porcelain slab and a structural core board. The porcelain slab includes a top surface with a first surface area. The structural core board includes a core material having a second surface area and a thickness greater than the porcelain slab. A top surface of the structural core board is positioned in contact with a bottom surface of the porcelain slab with an adhesive. A buffer region is defined by regions of the structural core board extending beyond outer peripheries of the porcelain slab. The buffer region enhances protection from cracking when the reinforced porcelain panel product is installed, handled, transported, or cut. The bottom surface of the structural core board is to be attach to a mounting surface when installed.

Disclosed herein is a method for constructing a joint between thin flexible sheets of electromagnetic shielding material. The method includes adhering first sides of multiple first sheets of shielding material to a wall and adhering first sides of multiple second sheets of shielding material to second sides of the multiple first sheets of shielding material. A conductive adhesive or a conductive double-sided adhesive tape may be applied to the first side of each of the first sheets of shielding material and the second sheets of shielding material, the first sheets of shielding material may be arranged to abut each other along at least one first seam, and the second sheets of shielding material may be arranged to abut each other along at least one second seam.

A building panel system include vertical members and horizontal members mounted to the vertical member, and a plurality of panel modules. Each of the panel modules includes a building panel, and a hanging member that is connected to the building panel and that is hung on a corresponding one of the vertical members and the horizontal members. The building panels of the panel modules cooperatively form a panel wall that is adapted to be spaced apart from a wall so that an air flow channel is formed between the panel wall and the wall and is adapted to communicate with an external space for air flowing.

Insulating floor system including (i) a grooved base layer formed from base layer grooved portions, (ii) a transverse peripheral edge rail formed from transverse peripheral edge rail portions, (iii) a parallel peripheral edge rail formed from parallel peripheral edge rail portions, and (iv) interior rails formed from interior rail portions. The base layer includes grooves in an upper surface. Each of the transverse peripheral edge rail portions include a plurality of downwardly projecting mating protrusions that mate within the base layer grooves. Each of the parallel peripheral edge rail portions include a downwardly projecting protrusion that mates within a peripheral groove of the base layer. At least one of the interior rails can be a locking rail, where locking rail portions defining the locking rail include a plurality of downwardly projecting mating protrusions that mate within terminal grooves of adjacent base layer grooved portions, locking such portions together.

A deck board end cap device is provided. The device is comprised of a generally rectangular body that can fit around the end of a deck board to provide a more aesthetic finish and protection to the unfinished ends of deck boards. A side wall of the body may fit around the end of the deck board, allowing the device to snap onto the deck board for ease of use. The device may further be comprised of any texture, pattern, or other indicia that allows the device to match the deck board material of the entire deck.
