A decorated and surface-structured wall or floor panel comprises a carrier made of a plastic composite material, a primer layer disposed on a surface of the carrier, a decorative layer disposed on the primer layer, a layer of a radiation-curable varnish disposed on the decorative layer, a structured plastic film disposed on the layer of a radiation-curable varnish, and a topcoat layer disposed on the structured plastic film. The carrier comprises a plastic-containing matrix material in which a fibre mineral material is embedded.

A plastic floor board processing technology using digital printing, aiming to solve the problem relating to the high production cost, comprising the steps of: preparing a base material; blending the base material; extruding the blended base material into a mold to form a stone-plastic base material; adjusting a gap between a surface embossing roll and a bottom embossing roll to enable the stone-plastic base material to pass through the gap; generating embossing patterns and positioning marks at equal intervals on a surface of the stone-plastic base material; cooling the stone-plastic base material; cutting the stone-plastic base material into plastic floorboards; using a digital printer to print the plastic floorboards. According to the present disclosure, patterns are directly printed on the surface of the stone-plastic base material, which avoids the processes of arranging a color film and a wear layer, lowers the production cost and improves the production efficiency.

According to a processing method of a stone composite board, the two sides of a natural stone board are ground and flattened until a preset standard value of thickness variation is reached, then the surface planes and base material layers are subjected to pressure-compositing through adhesive layers, afterwards splitting is conducted, and the natural stone layer is subjected to calibrated planing with diamond roller and surface treatment to obtain the ultra-thin stone composite board.

A method of producing a veneered element, including providing a substrate, applying a sub-layer on a surface of the substrate, applying a veneer layer on the sub-layer, and applying pressure to the veneer layer and/or the substrate, such that at least a portion of the sub-layer permeates through the veneer layer. Also, such a veneered element.

An article comprising natural stone and method for forming the article are provided. A counter-relief is formed at a back of the natural stone. A light-transmitting reinforcing material is bonded to the back of the natural stone at the counter-relief to reinforce the natural stone at the counter-relief. A front of the natural stone is carved to form a relief at the front. The relief is positioned opposite to the counter-relief. The thickness of the natural stone between the relief and the counter-relief is reduced by the carving to allow light to transmit through the natural stone from the back to the front to illuminate the relief.

A decorative stone panel is provided, which comprises a natural stone panel (1), a ceramic tile (4), a light source (2) and curable transparent adhesive resin (3). The ceramic tile (4) is bonded to the inner surface of the natural stone plate (1). Counter-relies (9) are provided on the inner surface of the natural stone plate (1). The stone thickness at the bottom of the counter-reliefs (9) is 1 mm to 3.5 mm. The counter-reliefs (9) form a counter-relief figure. A cavity is provided between the counter-reliefs (9) and the body of the ceramic tile (4). The light source (2) is provided within the cavity. The cavity is also filled with curable transparent adhesive resin (3) on the side of the counter-reliefs (9) The decorative panel has good light transmitting properties and the light-transmitting surface is less prone to damage.

Disclosed are a power-generating building material and a preparation process thereof. The power-generating building material applies the artistic appreciation and protection performance of an optical adjustment layer to the field of solar cells, so that the architectural art and power-generating performance are integrated to meet the requirements for green buildings and environmentally friendly buildings. The outer surface formed by a surface layer after curing is beautiful in texture. The power-generating building material has the texture and quality of a building material, is rich and diverse in expression form, without changing the architectural style and urban landscape, and has a broad application prospect.

A building panel with a surface layer including a wood veneer, a wood fibre based core and a sub-layer between the surface layer and the core. The sub-layer includes wood fibres and a binder. The surface layer has surface portions including material from the sub-layer. The surface portions including material from the sub-layer extend into the wood veneer.

A device for displaying images having variable colors comprises a substrate; a light-transmissive coloring layer painted or laminated on the substrate, the coloring layer comprising colorants of different colors and having a rear side in contact with the substrate and a varnished front side; a display layer comprising a silvering material directly plated on the varnished front side of the coloring layer, the display layer comprising a display pattern forming a visible displayed image, the silvering material comprising a metal, a metalloid, or an oxide thereof to form a one-way-mirror; an illuminator configured and positioned to illuminate the coloring layer from the rear side of the coloring layer. When the coloring layer is unilluminated by the illuminator, the unilluminated coloring layer is hidden behind the one-way-mirror. When the coloring layer is illuminated by the illuminator, the illuminated coloring layer visibly colorizes the displayed image through the one-way-mirror.
