An underlayment for use between a veneer material and a foundation surface includes a base layer and a series of individual supports extending upwardly from the base layer. The supports are configured to create voids in a layer of bonding material used to adhere the veneer material to the underlayment. Each support includes at least one outer wall extending upwardly from the base layer and terminating at an upper lip, a bowl area defined adjacent a center of each of the individual supports, and an internal wall extending downwardly and inwardly from the upper lip toward the center of each of the individual supports to at least partially define the bowl area within each of the individual supports, the internal wall comprising a plurality of surfaces extending from the upper lip.

The invention discloses a high stable and environment-friendly two-layer parquet and a production method thereof. The parquet comprises a face board and multiple solid wood boards below the face board, the solid wood boards comprise multiple solid wood strips inserted side by side: any adjacent two solid wood strips of the same solid wood board are arranged tightly and alternately, and the face board and solid wood boards are closely bonded with each other by an adhesive. The length directions of the solid wood strips of any adjacent two solid wood boards are vertical to each other; and the length direction of the solid wood strips of the solid wood boards at the two ends of the parquet is vertical to the length direction of the parquet. The invention can effectively reduce the use of high-quality solid wood, save the wood resources and has high stability and high strength.

A new surface covering system (1) comprising a panel (10) and a base (20), suitable for covering at least a portion of a surface of a building or at least being part of a portion of such surface is presented, wherein the panel (10) and the base (20) are provided with complementary mechanical means (30), (40) for removably fixing or securing the panel (10) on the base (20).

The present disclosure relates generally to surface panels for covering a building surface. The disclosure relates more particularly to a surface panel kit and system including a set of panels for attaching to a support structure. Each of the panels includes opposing ends, and each end includes one of a group of end configurations. A first end configuration is mateable with a first portion of the group and is unmateable with a second portion of the group, and a second end configuration is mateable with a third portion of the group and is unmateable with a fourth portion of the group. The set of panels includes at least three panel types including a first panel type with the first and second end configurations, a second panel type with the first and without the second end configurations, and a third panel type with the second and without the first end configurations.

A lining plate having an outer decorative layer, a support layer having at least magnesium oxide or magnesium oxide with perlite and/or vermiculite and/or cellulose, a barrier membrane to reduce or avoid water and moisture intrusion, and a self-adhesive foam material layer with an adhesive surface to be placed on a surface to be lined, the layer being provided with a plurality of perforations. The support layer has a non-homogeneous density in its thickness, distinguishing a first thickness, following the decorative layer, and a second thickness, between the first thickness and the barrier membrane, in which the density in the first thickness is greater than the density in the second thickness. The support layer is provided with a reinforcing structure formed by meshes or by a fabric of a composite material located within the second thickness of the support layer.

A method recycles tile material including compressed mineral fibre material and being in the form of at least one of waste material generated during manufacturing of tiles, residual material generated during installation of tiles, and tiles obtained from installed tile systems after end of life. The method includes collecting the tile material, conversion of the tile material into a plurality of body members, assembling a finite baseboard by arranging the plurality of body members on a carrier layer and fixing them thereto, and conversion of the baseboard into at least two tiles.

A framed element includes an insulating core layer, an upper surface layer arranged on the insulating core layer, a frame structure including frame profiles which have been arranged to form at least part of the outer edges of the element and elongated support profiles in the length and/or width direction of the element. The insulating core layer is made of foamed glass or a combination of lightweight aggregates and a fire-retardant resin. The element further includes an elastic sealing compound arranged at least partly between the core layer and the upper surface layer of the element.
