The water impervious wall panel system also includes an end second wall panel composed of a waterproof core and a decorative surfacing attached to the core, wherein the end second wall panel is provided with a tongue-and-groove edge and a rolled edge. One of the tongue-and-groove edges of the intermediate first wall panel and the tongue-and-groove edge of the end second wall panel form an interlocking system having a contact area adjacent to a front face of the intermediate first wall panel and the end second wall panel and a gap adjacent a rear face of the intermediate first wall panel and the end second wall panel, the contact area surface extending across less than the thickness of the intermediate first wall panel and the end second wall panel so as to provide a tight joint at the front face and eliminate visible gaps.

The disclosure relates to a covering system for a floor, a wall and/or a ceiling. The covering system includes a decorated side, a lower side opposite the decorated side and a plurality of interconnected covering elements. At least one conducting element is arranged between at least two of the covering elements in such a way that the at least one conducting element is at least partially visible on the decorated side. The at least one conducting element is configured to conduct a physical quantity, material or signals. The at least one conducting element includes an interface to a source or a consumer of the physical quantity, material or signals.
