Engineered wood planks
10619355 · 2020-04-14 ·

An engineered wood plank made using a unique lamella layer. The lamella layer has a number of lamella layer sections joined together by lap splice joints which allow the lamella layer to be pressure adhered onto a backing material without breaking, and wear in a manner similar to known engineered hardwood flooring.

PANELS IMITATING ORGANIC WOOD PLANKS COMPRISING SPECIALLY DECORATED EDGES
20200109571 · 2020-04-09 · ·

A rectangular panel for floor-, wall- or ceiling coverings is provided comprising a visible decorative side, wherein the decorative side comprises at least one undulated edge line, which extends along the long side edges of the panel, said undulated edge line having a different design than the rest of the decorative side. In the provided panel(s), the physical edges and the optical edges may diverge, which provides the possibility that multiple panels can be installed as floor ceiling or wall covering in a way that the physical edges in a corresponding covering become almost invisible whereas the optical edges (i.e. the undulated edge lines) are perceived as artificial optical edge of virtual panels forming the covering.

A building assembly, for use in a floor and/or ceiling of a building, consisting of a solid wood or mass timber structural panel layer, a lightweight panel layer, and an acoustically absorptive solid volume material layer between the solid wood or mass timber structural panel layer and the lightweight panel layer to provide a separation of an air-borne acoustic vibration or a separation of an impact- or structure-borne acoustic vibration between the lightweight panel layer and the solid wood or mass timber structural panel layer.

FORMLINER AND METHOD OF USE
20190168415 · 2019-06-06 ·

A formliner, sheet, system, and methods of use and manufacture are provided in order to provide a product that can minimize and/or eliminate visible seaming between interconnected formliners during fabrication of a pattern on a curable material. In some embodiments, the formliner can comprise raised sections that define interrelated inner and outer dimensions. Thus, a plurality of formliners can be interconnected by overlaying raised sections thereof. Further, the formliner can comprise one or more detents and one or more protrusions to enable engagement between interconnected formliners without requiring adhesives. In this manner, formliners can be interconnected in a nested manner such that visible seaming between the interconnected formliners is reduced and/or eliminated.
