Methods of manufacturing composite sandwich components (100) and composite sandwich components overcome drawbacks in the prior art. For example, the large number of resin filled perforations that are unavoidable when manufacturing prior art composite sandwich components is avoided.

A low cost and high strength wooden product which has been developed as an alternative to plywood and oriented strand boards (OSB), can be used in all areas where the plywood is used, in which the wooden papels can be used with glued waste wood pieces in the vertical and horizontal directions in its content, and can be produced with or without film.

A multi-layered integrated roofing plank or panel with a base layer comprising engineered or manufactured wood, a water resistant barrier layer covering at least the outer face of the base layer, and at least one of the edges of the base layer. A silicone layer may cover at least a portion of the outer face. The silicone layer may be embossed with a pattern. A texturizing material also may be affixed to, or integrated with, the water resistant barrier layer. The edges of the roofing plank or panel may be configured as part of a joint with adjacent planks or panels, including, but not limited to, shiplap joints, tongue-and-groove joints, bead-and-cove joints, butt joints, or combinations or variations thereof.

A process for making a card includes the steps of forming a core layer having a first surface and a second surface, disposing an uncured decorative ceramic layer of ceramic particles disposed in a resin binder over the first surface of the core layer, such as by spray coating, and curing the uncured decorative ceramic layer to form a cured decorative ceramic layer. Card products of the process may have a core layer of metal, ceramic, or a combination thereof that form a bulk of the card.

A flooring system for enclosures or vehicles, such as an aircraft flooring architecture, includes a flooring panel with at least an upper layer, a core ply, and a bottom layer. The bottom layer of the flooring panel has a top face and a bottom face, an upper layer of the flooring panel has an upper face and a lower face, and a core ply of the flooring panel has an upper surface bonded to the lower face of the upper layer and a bottom surface bonded to the top face of the bottom layer. The bottom face of the bottom layer is located on a structural floor of an enclosure or vehicle, such as the aircraft, and the bottom layer of the flooring panel slides over the structural floor.

Decorative panel, in particular a floor panel, ceiling panel or wall panel, including a core layer having an upper side and a lower side, a decorative top layer connected to said upper side of the core layer, a first panel side edge including a first coupling profile, and a second panel side edge including a second coupling profile designed to interconnect with a first coupling profile of a second, identical panel, both in horizontal direction and in vertical direction. The core layer includes a layer of foam concrete which is constituted by a matrix of concrete material in which air pockets in the form of cells are present.

A wood substrate or member is included, having an increased density with respect to natural, untreated wood. The process includes drying the wood prior to application of heat and pressure, which are controlled to reduce or eliminate color change on a surface of the wood member where heat and pressure are applied.
