Electromagnetically shielding an enclosable structure having a floor, walls, a ceiling, and at least one closeable opening by applying a shielding wallcovering to at least a portion of one of the walls and applying a second type of shielding material to at least a portion of the enclosable structure, wherein the second type of shielding material differs from the shielding wallcovering. The shielding wall covering is wallpaper comprising a metal-coated broad good and a resin. Other types of shielding material may include a transparent, shielding window covering such as NiCVD coated screen of woven silk fibers; shielded flooring such as a layered combinations of Kevlar non-woven as a base layer, nickel-coated non-woven layers, and a PCF toughened polymer; and a transition shielding strip made of a base layer of the shielding wallpaper with a PCF toughened polymer coating over a portion of the strip.

[Object] To provide a building material capable of solving the problem of peeling-off, turning-up, and displacement of a protective sheet from a coating during storage, transport, and construction and capable of solving the problem of degradation of surface finishing of the coating as a result of the protective sheet being peeled off from a coating surface of the building material.

[Solution] A building material 10 includes a base material 1 having a design surface on a surface thereof, a coating 2 that is formed on the design surface and that has a surface having a 60-degree specular gloss of 80 or greater, and a protective sheet 3 affixed to the coating 2 so as to be peelable. The coating 2 has a pencil hardness of HB or higher. The adhesive force between the coating 2 and the protective sheet 3 is 2 to 8 N/20 mm.

The present invention is a cladded panel for architectural use to replace spandrel glass panels or aluminum panels that can still withstand high wind speeds. The cladded panel of the present invention is a three-layered panel formed by cladding a first porcelain layer, a polymeric interlayer and a second porcelain layer. In one form, first porcelain layer is cladded or baked to the polymeric interlayer and the polymeric interlayer is cladded or baked to second porcelain layer. Cladded panels when assembled to form an architectural structure provide high wind-resistance and insulation from external environment and also forms a durable and aesthetically appealing structure by hiding the unaesthetic elements within a structure at low cost.

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.

The present invention provides a composite board and the method for producing it, wherein the composite board includes a base material layer constituting the core part of the composite board; a wear layer covering and fixed on the base material layer; a substrate layer which is fixed on the other side of the base material layer opposite to the wear layer; and the first binding layer which is bound between the base material layer and the wear layer, wherein the base material layer further includes fixings on its both sides, and when at least two composite boards are connected together, the fixings can be coupled with each other to relatively fix the composite boards. The aforementioned method and techniques can enable composite boards to be as rigid and wear-resistant as a tile and moreover, can reduce the time and labor costs required for the installation of the tiles by applying the base material layer in the installation of composite boards.

A composite siding panel mountable on an exterior wall of a building includes a backing member and a siding member attached to the backing member, wherein the first side edge of the siding member overhangs the first side edge of the backing member, and the second side edge of the siding member is aligned with or positioned contiguously with the second side edge of the backing member. An adhesive coating joins the front face of the backing member to the rear face of the siding member. The adhesive coating runs substantially from the first side edge of the backing member to the second side edge thereof. The backing member can be composed of closed-cell expanded foam or wire-fabricated foam, and the siding member can be formed from vinyl, polypropylene, aluminum, steel, fiberglass, engineered wood, or fiber cement. A siding assembly including a plurality of composite siding panels adjacently mountable on an exterior wall of a building is also disclosed.
