A panel having a layered structure including a core defining a first edge and a face sheet connected to the core, the face sheet including a protruding portion defining a second edge, wherein the second edge protrudes outward a distance from the first edge, and a trim piece connected to the layered structure, the trim piece including a trim member and a flange member extending from the trim member, the trim member defining a visible surface and a trim edge, wherein the trim member is positioned over the first edge, wherein the trim edge is connected to the protruding portion, and wherein the flange member is connected to the layered structure.

A joint for use with a composite laminated component is disclosed herein. The joint includes a component including a partial U-shaped trapezoidal cavity and a triangular component. The partial trapezoidal component includes a base extending in a first direction, a first side extending away from the base at a first angle from the first direction, a second side extending away from the base at a second angle from the first direction and toward the first side, and an opening defined by the first side and the second side. The triangular component is coupled to the base and extending orthogonally away from the base in a second direction and toward the opening.

Apparatus for shaping a segment of material includes a forming member having a curved sidewall shaped complementary to a desired shape of the segment of material, and a conforming member having an applicator side and an engagement side disposed for engagement with the curved sidewall of the forming member. The conforming member includes a plurality of attachment regions disposed on the applicator side. Each attachment region is adapted to hold the segment of material on the conforming member. Engagement of the conforming member with the forming member causes the attachment regions to move from a first shape profile to a second shape profile, the second shape profile being the desired shape of the segment of material.

A method for producing a panel having a sealed panel edge comprises the steps of: providing a raw panel comprising a panel upper face, a panel lower face and at least one pair of panel edges lying opposite each other, the raw panel having a carrier plate core and a print substrate layer, which is applied to the panel upper face; forming a chamfer between at least one panel edge of the pair of panel edges lying opposite each other and the panel upper face; sealing the at least one panel edge with an impregnating agent, the impregnating agent being applied to the at least one panel edge and to the chamfer. A raw panel produced by the method and an assembly of the panel with a baseboard are discussed.
