In a floor panel provided with upper and lower members which have concave spaces and side surfaces having heights and are formed as a box shape, and structured such that the upper and lower members are combined up and down so as to communicate the respective concave spaces so as to form an internal space in an inner portion, the floor panel has a joint portion in which height leading end portions of the side surfaces of the upper and lower members are folded so as to enwrap each other so as to be connected, and the joint portion is arranged in a height midstream portion of the side surface of the floor panel, and is arranged at a position which is retreated to an inner side of the floor panel in relation to the side surface in both height end sides of the floor panel.

The invention relates to a decorative panel, in particular a decorative floor panel, ceiling panel or wall panel. The invention also relates to a decorative covering composed of a plurality of, preferably interconnected, decorative panels according to the invention, wherein said covering preferably includes entire panels and sawn panel parts and/or cut panel parts.

The disclosed panels generally comprise a protective layer composed of a paper impregnated with a melamine resin. The protective layer may be incorporated into a panel comprising a rigid composite core, such as a plastic composite core or a mineral composite core. Disclosed are also methods for manufacturing the panels.

The invention provides a floor panel which can reduce a material cost and achieve a weight saving, by easily carrying out a press drawing process. In a floor panel in which an upper member and a lower member are joined in their peripheral edge portions and an internal space is formed in an inner portion of the floor panel, an opening portion intruding approximately as a rectangular shape into an inner side of the floor panel is formed in a side plate portion of each of the upper member and the lower member, and a shape of the opening portion is formed as such a curved shape that two internal corner portions intrude into the inner side of the floor panel than the other approximately linear portions than the internal corner portions, in a whole or a part of a horizontal cross section.

Provided is a decorative panel, in particular a decorative floor panel, ceiling panel, or wall panel. Also provided is a decorative covering that may include a plurality of decorative panels, which may be interconnected, where the covering may include entire panels and sawn panel parts and/or cut panel parts.

A decorative panel is provided, for example a decorative floor panel, ceiling panel or wall panel. In some embodiments, the decorative panel includes a core layer having a lower side and an upper side, a decorative top structure affixed, either directly or indirectly, to the upper side of the core layer, a backing layer affixed, either directly or indirectly, to the lower side of the core layer, and at least one readable information carrying element carrying and/or provided with information relating to at least one panel related characteristic, wherein the at least one readable information carrying element is applied onto or into at least one panel layer. Systems including at least one decorative panel, at least one digital scanner, and at least one digital location are also provided.
