A composite strip structure includes an adhesive strip assembly and a sheet plate. The adhesive strip assembly has a sandwiched composite laminate construction and includes a PU layer, an EVA layer, a PSA layer, and an SBR layer. The PU layer is disposed at a bottom of the strip assembly and has a bottom face abutting a ground or wall. The EVA layer has a bottom face abutting a top face of the PU layer. The SBR layer is arranged between the EVA layer and the PSA layer. The PSA layer is disposed at a top of the strip assembly. The PSA layer has a bottom face abutting a top face of the SBR layer and has a top face abutting the sheet plate.

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.

A covering panel for buildings includes: A) a ferromagnetic layer containing ferromagnetic material; B) one or more structural layers made of one or more materials which are substantially non-ferromagnetic; C) a signal light, which is visible, observing the major front face of the covering panel from the outside; and D) one or more wireless power supply stations, each of which supplies power to one or more electrical or electronic devices. The signal light is arranged at, or close to, one of the wireless power supply stations, for example, at, or close to, its possible inductor or capacitive plate, to allow a user to easily find the position of the power supply station, even though it is hidden in or behind the covering panel.

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 maybe 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.

The present application relates to the technical field of assembled panels in buildings, and discloses an easy-to-assemble panel. In one embodiment, an extension block is provided on a side surface of one side of the splicing panel, a convex block is provided on a side surface of the other side of the splicing panel, and a self-adhesive layer is provided on a bottom surface of the splicing panel. A limiting groove is formed between a bottom wall of the extension block and the side surface, close to the extension block, of the splicing panel. An engaging block is provided at one end, away from the splicing panel, of the extension block, and an engaging groove matching with the engaging block is provided in the side surface, close to the convex block, of the splicing panel.
