A set including a first panel, a second panel and a mechanical locking device for locking the first panel to the second panel, the mechanical locking device includes an insertion groove at the second edge surface, a flexible tongue positioned in the insertion groove and an edge tongue including a tongue groove, the flexible tongue includes a first locking surface and a second locking surface, the first locking surface is configured to cooperate with the tongue groove for locking of the first panel to the second panel in a first direction when the flexible tongue is positioned in the insertion groove in a first orientation, the second locking surface of the flexible tongue is configured to cooperate with the tongue groove for a locking of the first panel to the second panel in a first direction when the flexible tongue is positioned in the insertion groove in a second orientation.

The present invention provides an anti-slip apparatus. The apparatus forms a planar, layered member and includes a glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) layer, a first resin layer, an abrasive or anti-slip material layer, and a second, top resin layer. Also provided is a template apparatus arranged to enable the installation/application to a floor or surface of an anti-slip apparatus as herein described.

A floor covering including a flexible underfloor having at least one foamed polymer layer; one or more sheet vinyl floor elements or LVT floor elements, one or more LVT floor elements, or one or more rigid LVT floor elements, an adhesive layer that bonds the underfloor and the floor element to one another.

A split floor contains multiple bottom plates and multiple top plates. The multiple bottom plates are fixed on a ground, and multiple top plates connected on the multiple bottom plates. A top of a respective one bottom plate is a plane. A coupling layer is formed on a top of the respective one bottom plate or a bottom of a respective one top plate, and the coupling layer is an adhesive layer or a vacuum layer. The respective one bottom plate includes at least one groove and at least one tenon formed on a peripheral side of the respective one bottom plate, such that any two adjacent bottom plates are connected. The respective one top plate includes at least one groove and at least one tenon formed on a peripheral side of the respective one top plate, such that any two adjacent top plates are connected.

A set of building panels, such as floor or wall panels, having a mechanical locking device at opposite first and second edge portions, such as short edges, configured for horizontal locking of similar or essentially identical panels in an assembled position by means of displacement in an engagement direction, such as a vertical direction, of the second edge portion of a second panel relative the first edge portion of an adjacent first panel. The second edge portion has a locking groove configured to receive a locking element of the first edge portion of an adjacent first panel by means of the displacement. An outer portion of the locking element, such as in a horizontal direction transverse the first edge portion, is configured to cooperate with an inner portion of the locking groove for positioning, such as horizontal positioning, respective upper edge portions of the first and second edge portions during assembling.

A floor, wall or ceiling panel comprises a core and a decorative top layer provided on the core. The core comprises a magnesium oxide-based board material, and wherein the aforementioned panel, on at least two opposite edges, is provided with coupling means allowing that two of such panels can be interlocked at the respective edges.

A method for producing a veneered board having a veneer and a carrier board having improved use properties includes the steps of providing a veneer and a carrier board, providing a sheet of paper impregnated with binder, the sheet of paper being arranged in a stack of materials to be pressed between an upper face of the carrier board and a lower face of the veneer, and pressing the stack of materials to be pressed. The sheet of paper is impregnated with a binder, the sheet of paper impregnated with binder is pre-dried so that it is still sticky, at least one additive is applied onto the pre-dried, still sticky binder, and the sheet of paper which is impregnated with binder and provided with an additive is dried to a residual moisture content of up to 8%.

A method of producing a board for production of panels is provided comprising: providing particulate material comprising or consisting of particulate wooden material, producing glued particulate material by applying an adhesive to the particulate material, forming a spreading material mat by homogeneously spreading the glued particulate material onto a conveyor on which the spread glued particulate material is conveyed in a conveying direction, and producing a board by pressing the spreading material mat. A reinforcement material is applied to the spread glued particulate material parallel to the conveying direction during forming the spreading material mat and/or after forming the spreading material mat before any pressing of the spreading material mat such that the spreading material mat has at least one longitudinal reinforcement zone containing the reinforcement material. Boards can be obtained from which panels can be produced which have reinforced longitudinal and/or transversal edges.

A system for introducing a noise-dampening polymer in-line in the manufacturing process of a manufactured wood product to achieve higher acoustic performance in siding, sheathing, roofing, flooring, and similar applications using the manufactured wood product. Several lines or bands of the noise-dampening polymer are deposited transversely across one side or face of the product. The polymer is deposited where the product is expected to contact joists or studs. The polymer may be a viscoelastic polymer.

The current invention concerns coverings such as a floor covering, wall covering or ceiling covering, said covering comprising at least one substrate and at least one surface layer, said surface layer comprising a print pattern and a wear layer, whereby said print pattern is directly applied to said substrate, and further concerns a method to produce such coverings.
