A hard flooring plank and a wall panel plank. The hard flooring plank includes a flooring plank body. A bottom surface of the flooring plank body is bonded with a retractable bonding element. A lower surface of the retractable bonding elements is bonded with a release paper layer. The wall panel plank includes a wall panel plank body. An inner side surface of the wall panel plank is bonded with a retractable bonding element, and the other side surface of the retractable bonding element is bonded with a release paper layer. The hard flooring plank not only overcomes the disadvantage of the hard flooring plank, but also has the advantages of a resilient flooring plank, so that a new breakthrough on the structure of the flooring plank body is achieved.

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.

A flooring system is provided comprising a plurality of (identical) floor panels, which are mechanically connectable to each other along at least one pair of adjacent first and second opposite joint edges. The panels comprise locking elements for connecting said panels in both horizontal and vertical direction. In order to consider the often occurring situation that in panels—especially when stored under changing external conditions, especially changing humidity—might warp, the (vertical) locking element in the panels is constructed with a (slight) play, so that in the event that two panels have slightly different warp nevertheless can easily and reliably be mechanically connected with each other omitting the need to exert an excess of force to fit the panels.

A floor may include a substrate having a top side and a bottom side. A top layer may be provided on the substrate. The top layer may consist of a printed thermoplastic film and a thermoplastic transparent or translucent layer provided on the printed thermoplastic film. The top layer may be directly adhered to the substrate by heat welding the printed thermoplastic film and the top side of the substrate, in the absence of a glue layer. The substrate may be a synthetic material board including a filler. The substrate at least at two opposite edges may include coupling means provided in the synthetic material board. The thermoplastic transparent or translucent layer may be provided with a structure.

A modular floor tile has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The first side has a first male locking structure with a male locking end. The second side has a female locking structure with a locking receptacle, which has a receiving groove, a locking notch vertically adjacent the receiving groove, and a female locking end adjacent the locking notch, such that the male locking end of a first one of the floor tile is insertable into the receiving groove of a second one of the floor tile, and vertically movable from the receiving groove into the locking notch to engage with the female locking end of the second one of the floor tile, thereby engaging the first male locking structure of the first one of the floor tile with the female locking structure of the second one of the floor tile.

A floor panel has a rectangular and oblong shape, and includes a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate and forming a decorative side of the floor panel. The top layer is composed of a print provided on a carrier sheet and a transparent thermoplastic layer situated above the print. The substrate has a thickness from 2 to 10 millimeter and forms at least half of the thickness of the floor panel. The substrate is a polyurethane-based substrate and the transparent thermoplastic layer is polyurethane-based. The floor panel has a length of more than 1.1 meters and has a plurality of reinforcing layers situated outside the center line of the substrate. A reinforcing layer may be provided in combination with the substrate and the top layer.

A panel system provides a prefabricated exterior building façade. Various wall claddings and clips for hanging wall claddings are discussed. A wall cladding system includes: a building wall; a plurality of wall cladding planks; a plurality of fasteners extending through respective apertures in the plurality of wall cladding planks to secure the plurality of wall cladding planks to the building wall, in which each fastener has a head and a shaft, and the shaft mounts a spacer behind a rear face of the respective wall cladding plank to define a drainage gap between the wall cladding planks and the building wall. A wall cladding plank clip includes a fastener with a head and a shaft; a drainage gap spacer mounted on the shaft; and a front washer plate mounted on the shaft between the head and the drainage gap spacer. A pre-fabricated wall cladding plank has: a core of insulating material; a fire-resistant component; an integral drainage system defined on a rear face of the pre-fabricated wall cladding plank; corresponding tongue and groove profiles on opposing edges of the pre-fabricated wall cladding plank to mate with adjacent pre-fabricated wall cladding planks of identical dimensions; and an external decorative finishing layer.

A structure-lining apparatus comprising a plurality of transversely and longitudinally extending panels connectable to a structure and connectable edge-to-edge via complementary connector components on their longitudinally extending edges. Each panel comprises transversely extending edges generally orthogonal to their longitudinally extending edges. Each panel comprises first and second complementary connector components on first and second longitudinally extending edges thereof. The apparatus comprises at least one edge-to-edge connection between a first connector component of a first panel and a second connector component of a second panel wherein a primary male connector component of the second connector component of the second panel is extended into a primary female connector component of the first connector component of the first panel and a secondary male connector component of the first connector component of the first panel is extended into a secondary female connector component of the second connector component of the second panel.

A cladding or siding assembly for use as cladding or siding for a wall of a building or structure having a face includes at least one panel member and at least two parallel and spaced support rail members which are arranged to allow at least one panel member to slidably interfit in between the support rail members, to be located and be removable at any time during construction or any time later after completion. The panel member is slotted between an upper support rail member and a parallel lower support rail member, whereby at an upper end of the panel member recess slidably interfits with the lower tab member of the upper support rail member having second end leg of perimeter frame within lower recess and the recess at a lower end of the same panel member slidably captures shorter upper tab member of the lower support rail member whereby second end leg is captured in upper recess of lower support rail member. A panel member and method of assembly are also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates generally to cladding for covering a building surface. The present disclosure relates more particularly to flat siding panels that form a visible surface over a support structure. The siding panel includes a panel body having a front wall extending across the length and height of the panel body. Each of an upper wall, lower wall, first side wall, and second side wall extends rearward from the front wall along edges of the panel body. The panel body also includes a support projection disposed between the upper wall, lower wall, first side wall, and second wall and extending rearward from a rear surface of the front wall. A fastening strip is coupled to the upper wall of the panel body. An upper lock is disposed along a top edge of the panel body, and a lower lock is disposed along a bottom edge of the panel body.
