The disclosure relates to a decorated, surface-structured wall or floor panel and a method for manufacturing same. The decorated, surface-structured wall or floor panel of the disclosure comprises a substrate made of a fiber cement material, a primer coat on a surface of the substrate, a decorative coat on the primer coat, a coat of radiation curable varnish or hot melt on the decorative coat, a structured plastic film on the coat of radiation-curable varnish or hot melt, and a coat of finishing varnish on the structured plastic film.

Reinforced panels include a layer of glass joined to a substrate to support the glass. Connectors are joined to the side of the substrate opposite the glass to enable the reinforced panel to be configured with and/or attached to a modular wall system. The glass can be backpainted prior to joining to the substrate, and/or a film can be included in the reinforced tile disposed between the glass panel and the substrate. A reinforced panel includes a conductive material disposed between a glass layer and a substrate to form a touch-responsive section. One or more intermediate layers disposed between the glass layer and the substrate are included. The one or more intermediate layers have sufficient elastic deformability so as to enable the reinforced panel to tolerate differences in thermal expansion between the substrate and the glass layer without resulting in cracking of the glass layer.

The disclosure relates to a method for producing a decorated wall panel or floor panel comprising the following method steps: a) providing a plate-shaped carrier; b) applying a decoration replicating a decorative pattern onto at least one partial region of the plate-shaped carrier; c) applying a covering layer onto the decoration, wherein the covering layer has a radiation-hardening compound; and d) hardening the covering layer. The covering layer is hardened by using a first radiator and a second radiator, wherein the first radiator emits radiation having a different wave length compared to the radiation of the second radiator, and wherein the first radiator and the second radiator are used in a common hardening step.

A componentized assemblable wall hanging and method of enabling printing thereupon is presented to enable production of large designs and images upon an anterior surface of a componentized wall hanging whereby disassembly of the wall hanging after printing is completed enables compact packaging for shipment and reassembly upon delivery is thence expediently afforded with minimal tools required for installation.

The present invention proposes a new decorative panel for shower trays formed by a polymeric panel (1) made of a thermosetting or solid-surface material, the outer surfaces of which are coated with a decorative pattern (2) printed on said outer surfaces using an ink which is transferred to said panel (1) by sublimation in a vacuum chamber under predetermined temperature, pressure, and time conditions.

The panel (1) has a perimetral area (3) having a greater thickness and at least one non-perimetral area (4) having a smaller thickness, wherein all the surfaces of the panel (1) coated with the decorative pattern have a uniform finish.

In an alternative embodiment, the panel (1) for shower trays can be coated with two or more decorative patterns (2) in different areas of the panel (1).

A method for the refinement of a panel and an apparatus for the refinement of a panel according to a method of this type. The method for the refinement of a panel includes: unpacking of a panel having a core made from wood material from a transport-safe packaging, a grounding in the form of at least one synthetic resin layer pressed together with the core and, if appropriate, a primer being arranged on a top side of the core, and a coating being arranged on a core underside lying opposite the top side of the core, and connection and locking means being attached to at least two mutually opposite side faces; application of a decorative layer having a decoration to the grounding or primer; and application of at least one wear layer to the decorative layer.

A tile for wall, floor or ceiling covering that includes a first layer consisting of metal, a second layer consisting of enamel that is chemically bonded to the first layer, a third layer consisting of an image in glass ink printed onto the second layer, and one or more overlay layer printed onto the third layer, using that same image, and which only partially covers the third layer such that texture is given to the surface of the tile and a more realistic impression of said image is created.

Implementations of a wall appliqu are provided. In some implementations, a wall appliqu may be used to decorate and/or accent a wall or other suitable surface of a building. In some implementations, a wall appliqu may be used in lieu of traditional shoe moulding, panel moulding, ceiling moulding, door moulding, stair brackets, chair rails, and/or window moulding. In some implementations, the wall appliqu may be applied to a wall or other suitable surface with an adhesive. In some implementations, the wall appliqu comprises a body portion having a front side and a back side. In some implementations, the body portion may have a decorative shape. In some implementations, the front side may have a three-dimensional relief thereon. In some implementations, the wall appliqu may be manufactured from a flexible, polyurethane material. In this way, the wall appliqu may be applied to both flat and irregular surfaces.

A method of producing a decorative surface covering comprises generating one or more synthetic images. The generation of these images includes arranging local prototype motifs characteristic of a material to be mimicked in a random manner and generating or preserving continuity between the local prototype motifs in such a way as to yield globally an appearance of the material to be mimicked, digitally printing one or more synthetic images on a printing substrate, and assembling the printing substrate with one or more backing layers and/or one or more transparent top layers so as to form the decorative surface covering.
