BUILDING PANEL
Building panels, such as a floor panels or wall panels. The panels include a first mechanical locking system at respective parallel and opposite third and fourth edges, such as long edges, configured to cooperate for horizontal and vertical locking between two adjacent building panels, preferably by means of a folding motion. The panels further include a second locking system at respective parallel and opposite first and second edges, such as short edges, configured to cooperate for horizontal and vertical locking of two adjacent building panels. An upper edge portion of one of the third edge or fourth edge, preferably the third edge, includes a first lower lip portion configured to cooperate with a first upper lip portion of an upper edge portion of the other of the third and fourth edge of an adjacent panel when the third and fourth edges are arranged in locking engagement.

SET OF PANELS
A set of panels including first and second panels. The first and second panels respectively include first and second edges. The first edge includes a locking strip with a locking element configured to cooperate with a locking groove at the second edge for locking the first edge to the second edge. The locking element includes a first locking surface at a first angle from a plane parallel to the first panel surface and the locking groove includes a second locking surface at a second angle from a plane parallel to the third panel surface. The first angle is different from the second angle such that the first locking surface converges towards the second locking surface at a cooperation part in a locked position. The first locking surface cooperates with the second locking surface at the cooperation part.
Subfloor joint
A set of subfloor panels including a joint configured to be glued is provided. The joint includes a tongue at a first edge of a first panel and a tongue groove at a second edge of a second panel. The tongue and the tongue groove are configured for positioning of the first panel relative to the second panel in a vertical direction, wherein a lower lip of the tongue groove extends beyond an upper lip of the tongue groove. An element protrudes from the lower lip and an underside of the first edge includes an element groove. The element and the element groove are configured for positioning of the first panel relative to the second panel in a horizontal direction. The lower lip includes a first impact surface, and the first edge includes a second impact surface. The first impact surface is configured to cooperate with the second impact surface.
MECHANICAL LOCKING SYSTEM FOR FLOOR PANELS
Building panels provided with a locking system for vertical and horizontal locking of a first edge and a second edge of adjacent panels. The locking system includes a displaceable tongue at least partly arranged in a displacement groove, a tongue groove, a cavity provided in a strip at the first edge, and a protrusion extending downwards at the second edge. The displaceable tongue is arranged to be displaced at least partly into the tongue groove during locking, and wherein the protrusion is arranged to be located in least a portion of the cavity when the panels are locked vertically and horizontally.
Unlocking system for panels
A set of essentially identical panels, such as building panels, provided with a mechanical locking system including a displaceable tongue arranged in a displacement groove having a first opening at a first edge of a first panel. The tongue is configured to be displaced in the displacement groove along a displacement axis to attain a locking state wherein a first portion of the tongue cooperates with a first tongue groove having a second opening at a second edge of an adjacent second panel, for vertical locking of the first and the second edge. A second portion of the tongue is configured to cooperate with the second edge of the adjacent second panel via an elongated element for vertical unlocking of the first and the second edge.
IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO CLADDING
An external cladding system includes at least one panel of sheet material, a series of vertically and horizontally oriented panel mounting extrusions, and a number of spaced apart apertures passing through a topmost/bottom most horizontal panel mounting extrusions on a wall. The apertures extend along a longitudinal axis of an internal horizontal portion of the topmost and bottom-most panel mounting extrusions. In use, the at least one panel is held in place on the panel mounting extrusions via: capping extrusions and resilient sealing strips, which are located between the panel and the capping extrusions. One or more spacer elements are located on the horizontally-oriented panel mounting extrusions, which support the bottom edge of a panel.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INSERTING A TONGUE
A method and device for inserting a tongue in an insertion groove in a panel. The method includes displacing a first tongue to an end position of a tongue queue, which comprises tongues under compression, in a tongue queue device, compressing the first tongue, displacing the tongues in the tongue queue by compression forces from the tongues under compression, displacing a second tongue, which is at a front position of the tongue queue, to an inserting device, displacing the second tongue into an insertion groove in a panel by said inserting device.
Floorboards provided with a mechanical locking system
Floorboards provided with a mechanical locking system including a locking strip protruding from a first edge of a first floorboard. The locking strip is provided with a locking element configured to cooperate with a locking groove at a lower side of a second edge of a second floorboard for locking the first edge and the second edge in a horizontal direction. The first edge and the second edge are configured to be assembled by a vertical downward motion of the second edge towards the first edge. The second edge is provided with a calibrating groove adjacent the locking groove. Also, a method for producing a mechanical locking system.
Method for producing a mechanical locking system for panels
A method for producing a mechanical locking system for a first panel and a second panel. The method includes providing a tongue, including a first locking surface, at a first edge of the first panel, forming a tongue groove, including a second locking surface, at a second edge of the second panel, the first locking surface and second locking surface are configured to cooperate for locking the first edge to the second edge in a first direction, providing a first guiding surface at the first edge and a second guiding surface at the second edge, wherein the first guiding surface cooperates with the second guiding surface during an assembling of the first edge and the second edge, and working of the first guiding surface and/or the second guiding surface to reduce the coefficient of friction between the first guiding surface and the second guiding surface and/or a surface roughness.
