Printed Decorative Floor or Wall Coverings

The present invention is related to printed floor or wall coverings comprising one or more polymer layer(s) and a print obtained by ink composition printing directly on at least one surface of said one or more polymer layer(s), said polymer layer(s) comprising a polyvinyl chloride homo- and/or copolymer in a blend with one or more polymer(s) selected from the group consisting of the homo- or copolymers of one or more vinyl alkanoate(s), the copolymers comprising one or more alkenes and one or more vinyl alkanoate(s), the copolymers comprising one or more alkyl (meth)acrylates, and mixtures of said homo- and/or copolymers.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING A DECORATED WALL OR FLOOR PANEL

A method for producing a decorated wall or floor panel, comprises the steps of: providing a pourable carrier material, in particular a granulate; placing the carrier material between two belt-like conveying means; forming the carrier material under the influence of temperature to form a web-shaped carrier; compressing the carrier; treating the carrier under the influence of pressure with use of a twin belt press at a first temperature T1 while forming a first compression factor K1 of the carrier; treating the carrier under the influence of pressure at a second temperature T2 while forming a second compression factor K2 of the carrier, wherein T2<T1 and wherein K2<K1; optionally cooling the carrier; optionally applying a decorative subsurface onto at least part of the carrier; applying a decorative template onto at least part of the carrier; and applying a protective layer onto at least part of the decoration.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING A REGISTERED EMBOSSED MATERIAL

A method for the continuous in-register embossing of a stretchable film is provided where a repeating printed image or a laminate may be formed by way of the stretchable film in an embossing station. The embossing station may include a rotating embossing roll having an embossed image and an associated rotating counter-roll. The printed image length of the film may be stretched longitudinally before the embossing contact with the embossing roll to a length greater than or equal to or smaller than or equal to the embossed image length or the circumference of the embossing roll. The maintenance of register of the embossing may be achieved by way of a relative speed between the circumferential speed of the embossing roll and the web speed of the film in the embossing station.

The invention relates to a method for producing a color-changeable decorative surface. In order to provide a decorative surface that can be changed in a particularly simple manner in terms of its coloring by the end consumer and which is particularly cost-effective and resistant, it is provided that at least one layer of a coating agent, which enables the absorption of color particles, is applied.

Perforated panel connection

A server enclosure having a plurality of panels abutted to one another and constrained by a connector having a channel and at least one aperture. Each respective panel has at least one perpendicular portion being perpendicular to a face of the respective panel and adjoining a perimeter of the respective panel. Connectivity media coincident to the aperture can affix at least two panels and a connector to one another.

Method for the forming and finishing of an accessory cladding element for use in architecture and design

A method for making an accessory cladding element for use in architecture and design. The method provides preparing an elastically deformable support element, including a first outer surface, in particular a decorated surface, a second outer surface and a plurality of spacer elements placed between the two surfaces. An impermeable and removable layer is applied on the first outer surface to protect at least a part thereof. Then a fluid cement mixture is prepared and introduced into the support element to obtain a cement-based composite structure in a deformable state. The excess fluid cement mixture is removed from the support element. The cement-based composite structure in the deformable state is positioned in a forming device which gives it the desired shape. The composite structure is solidified and after the removable layer is removed.

REVERSE MOLDED PLANT-ON PANEL COMPONENT, METHOD OF MANUFACTURE, AND METHOD OF DECORATING A DOOR THEREWITH

A reverse molded, plant-on decorative panel component comprises a panel portion lying on a first plane, a skirt portion, and a contoured portion. The skirt portion has a first surface adapted to be exteriorly disposed and an opposite second surface adapted to be interiorly disposed in order to be adhesively secured to a planar surface. The contoured portion extends outwardly from and surrounds the panel portion and interconnects and is integral with the panel portion and the skirt portion. The skirt portion extends peripherally about the contoured portion.
