Provided is a transparent resin film for protecting a picture layer on one side of a substrate, including at least: a surface protective layer; and a transparent resin layer, laminated on each other, the transparent resin film having a pattern of protrusions and depressions on a surface protective layer side, the transparent resin film having a thickness at a depression of the pattern of protrusions and depressions of 100 μm or larger, the transparent resin film containing an ultraviolet absorber.

A non-wicking underlayment board and methods for forming the same. The non-wicking underlayment board includes a foam core formed of closed cell foam with reinforcement layers encapsulated within the foam core. Outer facings formed of mineral coated nonwoven fibers are positioned on opposite faces of the non-wicking underlayment panel. The non-wicking underlayment board is useful for efficient and cost effective installation of barriers and surfaces in water-resistant and waterproof environments.

A construction member of one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a decorative film and a pre-mask: that is laminated to the decorative film and removed alter application of the decorative film is described. The decorative film includes: a transparent resin film having, an embossed first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; a printed layer disposed on the second surface of the transparent resin: film; and a colored adhesive layer disposed on or above the printed layer. The pre-mask includes: a support film having a first surface and a second, surface opposite: the first surface; and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that has an uneven surface and: is disposed on the first, surface of the support film. The first surface of the transparent resin film of the decorative film and the uneven surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the pre-mask face each other.

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 sound insulation tile having a tile body and a sound insulation layer on a back surface of the tile body and used for buildings and a method of manufacturing the same are revealed. The sound insulation layer is made of unfoamed or foamed PU material containing special substances. A method of manufacturing sound insulation tiles includes the steps of preparing a plurality pieces of sound insulation layer whose size matches size of a tile body and then attaching the sound insulation layer to a back surface of the tile body by an adhesive layer. Another method of manufacturing sound insulation tiles includes the steps of coating thick PU material over a back side of a tile body to form an even sound insulation layer integrated with the tile body, and then curing the sound insulation layer for mass production of the sound insulation tile.

A decorative material including: a substrate; and a pattern formation layer provided on one surface of the substrate, the pattern formation layer having projections and recesses, wherein the pattern formation layer includes a plurality of areas that are arranged thereon and distinguished by difference in a surface profile, the surface profile of the first area is a rough surface, the surface profile of the second area includes a plurality of aligned projecting lines, the projecting lines each having a width of at least 10 μm and less than 250 μm, a height of more than 3 μm and less than 350 μm, and an interval to a projecting line adjacent thereto of more than 10 μm and less than 160 μm, and the surface profile of the third area is a smooth surface.

A floor element for forming a floor covering, wherein the floor element comprises a decorative layer made of a ceramic material; a support layer arranged below the decorative layer; and a reinforcing layer arranged in between the decorative layer and the support 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.

There are provided a decorative sheet which has excellent weatherability and in which white pigment particles are dispersed well, and a decorative material using the decorative sheet. The decorative sheet includes at least a substrate and a surface protective layer. The surface protective layer contains an ultraviolet absorber, and the substrate contains white pigment particles. The white pigment particles are titanium oxide particles having a coating containing Al element and Si element and formed on part or the whole of their surfaces, and contain Ti, Al and Si elements in the following mass ratio: when Ti is taken as 1, Al is not less than 0.02 and less than 0.20, and Si is more than 0.002 and not more than 0.070.

The present disclosure describes composite siding panels with a structure that reduces dimpling. The siding panel comprises a backing member and a siding member that are joined by an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer may be made with fingers extending from its sides, or may be made with an adhesive that has an elongation factor of at least 1000%. These reduce dimpling.
