A composed element includes at least two panel-shaped elements, which each have an edge zone in which coupling means are present in a profiled part respectively extending in the longitudinal direction of the respective edge zone, and each including an end face extending transversely to the respective edge zone. The profiled parts allow the coupling of the panel-shaped elements together in an interlocking manner. At least one of the panel-shaped elements includes an arrangement which hides from view at least a portion of the profiled part formed at the pertaining edge zone at the location of the end face.

A method is provided for manufacturing panels having a decorative surface, wherein the panels at least include a substrate and a top layer, and wherein the top layer includes a paper layer having a printed pattern. The method may involve providing the paper layer with an inkjet receiver coating by transporting the paper layer relative to a coater in a coating direction. The coated paper layer may be provided with at least a portion of the printed pattern using a digital inkjet printer that includes a housing containing print heads. The printed pattern may be a wood motif having wood nerves extending generally in a nerve direction that substantially corresponds to the coating direction. Providing the printed pattern may involve a relative motion between the digital inkjet printer and the paper layer during a printing operation in a printing direction. The paper layer may be maintained flat inside the housing, or the minimum radius over which the paper layer is bent inside the housing may be larger than 25 centimeters.

The present invention relates to a variably operable timber screen for three-dimensional decoration of a building exterior wall and shading control of a building, the screen comprising: a pair of rails (10a and 10b); a motor (20); a timing belt (30); several pairs of rollers (40); a plurality of columns (50); a plurality of bearings (60); a rotational force transmitter bar (70); a plurality of decorative timber blade units (80); an manipulation unit (90); and a control unit (100). Therefore, the present invention can not only make the exterior of a building itself more attractive, but can also control the amount of incident sunlight through windows and doors.

A modular wall panel including a backer board and a plurality of front boards arranged in a plurality of rows. At least one row of the plurality of rows includes two or more horizontally-adjacent front boards permanently affixed to the backer board. The two or more horizontally-adjacent front boards collectively spanning an entire width of the modular wall panel. At least one row of the plurality of rows includes an enhancement area without a permanently-affixed front board. The enhancement area is horizontally adjacent to a front board that is permanently affixed to the backer board. The modular wall panel further includes a removable enhancement board configured to be reversibly affixed to the backer board to fill the enhancement area.

A composed element includes at least two panel-shaped elements, which each have an edge zone in which coupling means are present in a profiled part respectively extending in the longitudinal direction of the respective edge zone, and each including an end face extending transversely to the respective edge zone. The profiled parts allow the coupling of the panel-shaped elements together in an interlocking manner. At least one of the panel-shaped elements includes an arrangement which hides from view at least a portion of the profiled part formed at the pertaining edge zone at the location of the end face.

A floor, wall, or ceiling panel and to a method for producing same. The panel has a base made of a wood material and an upper veneer. The base and the veneer are hot-pressed together while incorporating a resin layer. During the pressing process, pores, cracks, and/or gaps in the veneer are filled with resin. In particular, the pressing process is carried out such that the veneer is saturated with resin, and the resin can be seen on the surface of the veneer after the pressing process. The adhesion of the veneer to the base and the smoothing of the veneer are thus carried out in one operation.
