The invention provides a veneer panel for use on a surface of a building. The veneer panel can be fabricated with a mounting system that includes a frame and/or a backing for efficient installation on a building surface, as well as a mounting strip or mating connector that can be installed on a building surface to further support the veneer panel.

A panel having a substrate and a top layer provided thereon, wherein the top layer comprises at least a melamine resin and a binder, the binder being selected from the group comprising: polyacrylates based binder, polyvinyl acetate based binder, polyester based binder, acrylic copolymers based binder or urethane based binder.

A decorative board in the present disclosure includes a primer layer, a concealing layer, a colorant layer and a topcoat layer containing ultraviolet-curable resin on a base material in this order. A method for manufacturing the decorative board in the present disclosure includes a stretching process, an irradiation process, and a separation process. The stretching process includes forming the primer layer, the concealing layer, and the colorant layer on the base material in this order; applying a ultraviolet-curable coating material containing ultraviolet-curable resin; placing a plastic film on the applied ultraviolet-curable coating material, placing a roller on the plastic film, and stretching the ultraviolet-curable coating material by rolling the roller. The irradiation process includes forming the topcoat layer by hardening the ultraviolet-curable coating material by ultraviolet ray irradiation. The separation process includes separating the plastic film after the irradiation.

A wall panel may have a rigid layer, a first insulation layer made from a two-part rigid urethane pour foam, and a second insulation layer made from a phase change material. The first insulation layer may be chemically bonded to the rigid layer and may also be bonded to the phase change layer. The first insulation layer may be positioned between the second insulation layer and the rigid layer. The rigid layer may be a finished surface or a veneer layer may be applied to the rigid layer.

An object of the present invention is to provide, for use in living environments, a decorative sheet that has excellent, easy cleanability and excellent impact resistance and from which dirt due to the adherence of a daily used contaminant, such as fine particle powder, that is not easy to clean is easily removed. The present invention provides a decorative sheet having a surface-protecting layer on the uppermost surface thereof, wherein (1) Ra(i)/Ra(ii) is 0.62 or more and 1.63 or less, the Ra(i)/Ra(ii) being calculated using an arithmetic average roughness Ra(i) measured along an arbitrary direction on the surface of the surface-protecting layer, and an arithmetic average roughness Ra(ii) measured along the perpendicular direction to the arbitrary direction.

The first insulation layer may be chemically bonded to the rigid layer and may also be bonded to the phase change layer. The first insulation layer may be positioned between the second insulation layer and the rigid layer. The rigid layer may be a finished surface or a veneer layer may be applied to the rigid layer.

A composite panel structure of a polymer matrix core sandwiched by metal layers is described. The polymer matrix comprises 1-30 wt % fluoropolymer and 70-99 wt % of a flame retardant mineral. The fluoropolymer may be polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with a high limiting oxygen index, which confers fire resistance properties to the polymer matrix and the composite panel structure. The composite panel structure may be used on the exterior of buildings and may fulfill building code requirements for the polymer matrix core being noncombustible as determined by ASTM E136 and CAN/ULC S114 compliance.

The present invention relates to a panel and to a covering including a plurality of such panels. The present invention particularly relates to floor panels, and more in particular to laminated floor panels, hardwood floor panels, solid wood floor panels, or PVC based floor panels. The invention proposes a coupling of the tongues of different adjacent panels that are arranged on the short side of those panels by a tongue of a further panel that is arranged on the long side of that panel. Compared to prior art panels, an improved coupling between the short sides of adjacent panels can be achieved, reducing the likelihood that these panels become detached.

A rigid moisture and air porous building furring strip for building walls and certain roof structures has an elongate outer facer sheet and an elongate inner facer sheet with an outer face. An open cellular core is sealed to and between the facer sheets that is porous to both air and moisture. A soft self-sealing butyl-like adhesive layer is optionally on the outer face of the inner face sheet for attachment of the furring strip to the outside of the build and underneath exterior cladding.

To provide a decorative sheet including a transparent resin layer having high transparency and excellent surface scratch resistance from the viewpoint of the design properties and a transparent resin sheet. A decorative sheet (1) according to one aspect of the present invention has a transparent resin layer (4) containing a crystalline polypropylene resin as the main component, in which a value of a peak area ratio x represented by the following expression (1) of the transparent resin layer (4) is x≥0.4. Herein, S040, S130, and Sam in the following expression (1) are peak areas determined from an X-ray diffraction spectrum obtained by measuring the transparent resin layer with an X-ray diffractometer, S040 is the peak area from the Miller index (040) of polypropylene α crystals, S130 is the peak area from the Miller index (130) of the polypropylene α crystals, and Sam is the peak area of an amorphous material. $\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{Peak}\mathrm{area}\mathrm{ratio}x=\frac{\left(S040+S130\right)}{\left(\mathrm{Sam}\right)}& \left(1\right)\end{array}$
