A joining system for floor panels comprising a female coupling formed in a first floor panel and a male coupling formed in a second floor panel, the female coupling comprising: a female coupling recess being arranged on a female coupling tongue protruding away from a main portion of the first panel towards the adjoining second floor panel, the female coupling recess being adapted to receive a male coupling tongue projecting from the adjoining second floor panel in a direction away from a main floor surface plane in which the floor panels are laid, the female coupling further comprises an upper guiding surface being located on a side of the female coupling recess on the first panel forming a guide for the male coupling tongue upon insertion thereof.

The invention relates to a panel, in particular a decorative panel, a floor panel, a ceiling panel or a wall panel. The invention also relates to a covering consisting of a plurality of mutually coupled panels according to the invention, in particular a floor covering consisting of a plurality of mutually coupled panels, according to the invention.

A floor element for forming a floor covering, the floor element comprising a decorative layer comprising a ceramic material, an intermediate layer comprising a resin material, and a support layer arranged below the decorative layer, wherein the support layer comprises edges provided with coupling elements configured to realize a mechanical coupling with coupling elements of an adjacent floor element and wherein the resin material comprises a modulus of elasticity greater than 0.1 GPa, preferably greater than 0.5 GPa, even more preferably greater than 1 GPa.

A construction panel for installation on a construction surface and interlocking connection to a another construction panel comprises a moisture barrier base to inhibit migration of moisture from the construction surface. The base has a pair of opposed first connector edges comprising a first pair of releasable mating elements, and a pair of opposed second connector edges comprising a second pair of releasable mating elements. A plurality of projections extend from the underside of the base for support and to permit air circulation and drainage of water between the base and the construction surface. In one embodiment, an upper panel having selected physical characteristics is attached to the base. The positioning of the first and second pairs of mating elements on the first and second pairs of connector edges enables the interconnection of entire or partial construction panels.

Provided is a wall panel for forming a wall covering with multiple panels, including a centrally located core. The core includes a rear side, a decorative side opposite the rear side, and at least two sides including coupling parts for mutual coupling of several panels. The coupling parts are arranged to be coupled with an angling motion. A new panel is arranged to be angled into a panel already forming part of the wall covering. The coupling parts include at least one first coupling part and at least one second coupling part arranged on opposite sides of the core. The first coupling part includes a sideward tongue, an upper bridge portion for connecting the sideward tongue to the core and a downward groove, for accommodating at least a parts of an upward locking element. The second coupling part includes a groove.

A building panel including a water resistant core including thermoplastic material and a surface layer including thermosetting resins. Also, production methods to form a board material with a dry blend of thermoplastic particles in powder form and fillers in powder form and to apply a surface layer with a hot-hot lamination process to a core including such board material.

A production method for a waterproof and wear-resistant composite floor, comprising: first manufacturing a PVC composite layer preform (3); then performing a corona treatment and a punching treatment on a soft cushion layer (2); and finally, compounding, at one time, the PVC composite layer preform (3), the soft cushion layer (2) and a waterproof substrate layer (1) into one. Said process is simple and easy to implement, shortening the production cycle, reducing the manpower and material resources required by the production process and reducing the production cost; moreover, the waterproof and wear-resistant composite floor produced has a simple structure, and also has very good waterproof and wear-resistant performance; in addition, the waterproof and wear-resistant composite floor will not swell, and will also not split into layers or deform easily.

A set of building panels, such as floor or wall panels, having a mechanical locking device at opposite first and second edge portions, such as short edges, configured for horizontal locking of similar or essentially identical panels in an assembled position by means of displacement in an engagement direction, such as a vertical direction, of the second edge portion of a second panel relative the first edge portion of an adjacent first panel. The second edge portion has a locking groove configured to receive a locking element of the first edge portion of an adjacent first panel by means of the displacement. An outer portion of the locking element, such as in a horizontal direction transverse the first edge portion, is configured to cooperate with an inner portion of the locking groove for positioning, such as horizontal positioning, respective upper edge portions of the first and second edge portions during assembling.

A flexible, preferably polymer-based, rectangular floor covering element of double-angling type has six sides: a decorative top face and a bottom face, as well as four edges. The first long edge has a first connection profile with a recess at the bottom face and a tongue overhanging the recess. The second long edge opposite the first long edge has a second connection profile with a protrusion at the bottom face and a groove for receiving the tongue of the first profile. The first short edge is equipped with the first profile and the second short edge is equipped with the second profile. When looking at the floor covering element from above the top face, the edges of the floor covering element are arranged in the following order in the clockwise direction: 1) the first long edge, 2) the first short edge, 3) the second long edge and 4) the second short edge.

Provided is a panel including at least one first coupling part. The first coupling part includes an upward tongue, at least one upward flank lying at a distance from the upward tongue and an upward groove formed in between the upward tongue and the upward flank. The side of the upward tongue facing towards the upward flank is the inside of the upward tongue and the side of the upward tongue facing away from the upward flank is the outside of the upward tongue. At least a part of an upper side of the upward tongue is inclined relative to the plane of the panel, such that the upper side of the upward tongue includes a highest point. The upward tongue has a width, wherein the highest point of the upward tongue is arranged less than 50% of the width from the outside of the upward tongue.
