The present invention relates to floor panels for outdoor use, which front side is provided with a decorative—respectively protective layer and which comprises at its sides coupling means inform of groove and tongue elements. The material of the carrier plate is thereby MDF or HDF board of acetylated wood, a fiber cement board or is based on polyvinylchloride and the decorative—respectively protective layer consisting of a radiation cured acrylate-containing film or a polymeric layer with hardness gradient, wherein the hardness of the polymeric layer decreases in particular continuously with increasing depth seen from the surface of the polymeric layer.

The invention relates to a laminate, in particular for manufacturing a construction panel, consisting of a combination of at least one carrier material layer made of a non-flammable non-woven impregnated with a resin and at least one decorative material layer made of a decorative paper that is impregnated with a melamine formaldehyde resin and is optionally dyed and/or printed. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing a disclosed laminate and especially a construction panel.

A cladding system for a building structure. The system includes a multilayered panel and at least one fastener including a base portion securable to the frame, and a barbed portion projecting from the base portion for penetrating at least a rear face and backing layer of a section of the panel. The barbed portion includes a cental planar member with barbs extending laterally to each side of the central planar member and is sized such that the front face of the panel is not penetrated by the fastener when the panel is secured to the wall frame.

A pre-fabricated construction panel for use on an external surface and/or as part of a budding or construction is provided. The panel comprises at least a first layer which is at least partially provided from thermally insulating material having a first surface, the panel comprising at least a second layer, the at least second layer being provided from fiber cement board, the second layer having a second surface facing the first surface. The first surface is profiled having recessed surface zones and heightened surface zones, the first and second layers being connected one to the other at least along the heightened surface zones of the first, the recessed surface zones provides at least one interspace between the first and second surface. This at least one inter-space has at least two openings to the external of the panel for enabling air to flow into and out of the interspace towards the external of the panel. Less than 25% of the total surface of the first surface is connected to, e.g. adheres to, the second surface.

A composite frame for vehicles formed with a honeycomb or similar core laminated on the top and bottom sides with a layer of material joined by an adhesive layer. One or more structural beams or stringer are interposed between the top and bottom layer of the composite frame running part or all of the length or width of the composite frame. Each of these structural members may also be joined to the top and bottom material as well as the adjacent honeycomb or by a layer of adhesive or by other means. One embodiment of the frame may be perfectly flat along a horizontal axis. A second embodiment may conform to any curvature, angle or combination specified.
