A deck system can include a first deck board; a second deck board; an accent strip; and/or a deck clip. In some embodiments, the first deck board and the second deck board are slotted to receive the deck clip. In some embodiments, the deck clip has a hole configured to receive a screw to attach the deck clip to a wall. In some embodiments, the accent strip is made of aluminum and/or vinyl. A deck anchor system can include a deck anchor, a bungee cord, a rope, and/or a corresponding hook. In some embodiments, the deck anchor includes a tightening handle; a blade; an eye hook; a shaft, a pinch bar; and/or a cam lever. In some embodiments, the shaft is threaded. In some embodiments, the pinch bar is curved. In some embodiments, an end of pinch bar is covered in rubber.

A method is disclosed for making a floor tile having ceramic tiles formed in situ in openings or recesses in the plate. A metal frame is embossed to form recesses in one embodiment. In another embodiment, openings are punched in the plate and a backing plate is attached to a bottom surface of the plate. A ceramic composition is poured into the plurality of openings up to a level that is below the upper surface of the metal frame and is cured to form a ceramic tile in situ in each of the plurality of openings. Surface features may be provided in the recesses or openings such as projections with a head portion that are embedded in the ceramic composition after curing.

A panel having a core, a top side, a bottom side, and edge pairs provided on opposite panel edges. At least one first edge pair has complementary locking elements. One locking element is a locking groove on a groove side of the edge pair and the complementary locking element is a locking tongue on a tongue side of the edge pair. The locking tongue of a first panel can be placed against the locking groove of a second panel of the same kind when the first panel is tilted, and the two panels can be locked to one another interlockingly by a rotating joining movement of the panels relative to one another. The form fit counteracts moving apart of the locked panels specifically in a direction that lies in the plane of the locked panels and is simultaneously perpendicular to the locked panel edges. The locking tongue has, on a top side, a contact surface directed to the panel top side. The top groove wall has a touch surface designed so that when two panels are in the locked state, the touch surface is mated to the contact surface of the tongue top side. At the front of the locking tongue a rounding adjoins the contact surface so that the rounding forms a cross-sectionally round free end of the locking tongue so that a round transition to the tongue bottom side is created. The rounding of the locking tongue has a radius at least equal to the distal extent of the contact surface.

A panel element may be provided for a covering. In particular, a panel element for a floor, wall or ceiling covering, which covering may be formed by a plurality of panel elements of the same kind which are connected to one another. Each panel element has a basic body having a defined total thickness and upper and a lower surfaces. The basic body has in each case differently contoured longitudinal sides and in each case differently contoured end faces. One longitudinal side has groove-like contouring and the other longitudinal side has tongue-like contouring corresponding thereto.

Building panels, such as a floor or wall panels. The panels include a first mechanical locking system include a first locking strip at one of the third edge or fourth edge configured to cooperate for horizontal locking with a first locking groove at the other of the third or fourth edge of an adjacent building panel, preferably by means of a folding motion, and a second locking system including a second locking strip at one of the first edge or second edge, configured to cooperate for horizontal locking with a second locking groove at the other of the first or second edge of an adjacent building panel. The thickness of the second locking strip, in a thickness-direction of the building panel, exceeds the thickness of the first locking strip.

The present invention provides: an interior material having a surface layer which has visible light-responsive photocatalytic activity and which contains two types of titanium oxide microparticles, the two types of titanium oxide microparticles comprising first titanium oxide microparticles, in which a tin component and a transition metal component for enhancing visible light responsiveness (excluding iron group components) are in solid solution, and second titanium oxide microparticles, in which an iron group component is in solid solution; and a method for manufacturing the interior material. The present invention makes it possible to provide an interior material in which visible light-responsive photocatalytic titanium oxide microparticles, which make it possible to easily produce a surface layer (photocatalyst thin film) having high transparency and expressing photocatalytic activity even in response to visible light (400-800 nm) only, are applied onto a surface, whereby it is possible to obtain, under indoor illumination, excellent photocatalytic properties such as an antimicrobial property and a property of breaking down chemical substances in indoor air without adversely affecting the design quality of the article in question.

Floor panels are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system that may be locked with a vertical displacement of a first panel against a second panel. The locking system includes a first rigid and a second flexible joint edge section with different locking functions. The first edge section provides a horizontal locking and the second section provides a vertical locking.

Floor panel, characterized in that it is of the type that can be installed according to the fold down-technique, that it comprises coupling means in one piece on all four edges, and that measures are taken in order to avoid an undesired shifting on the long edges during the turning down of the floor panel.
