Building panels with a homogenous decorative surface having a wear layer comprising fibres, binders and wear resistant particles. A building panel including a surface layer and a core, the core including wood fibres, and the surface layer including a substantially homogenous mix of wood fibres, a binder and wear resistant particles, the substantially homogenous mix of wood fibres including natural resins.

A system for fastening to a flat surface slats having a rectangular or square plan shape predisposed to be arranged two by two side by side and spaced mutually apart to make a flooring, wall, or ceiling includes: a base integrally associated with a flat surface and configured for positioning above and/or laterally thereto at least two slats in a laying condition. The system includes a constraining component of this base to two of these slats positioned above and/or laterally thereto in the laying condition, and a supporting component of at least one of two of these slats positioned above and/or laterally to the base in the laying condition. The supporting component includes at least one bridge structure defined by two legs, connected by a crosspiece which defines, on the opposite side to the base, an abutment surface, to prevent or limit deformation of this portion towards the base.

A panel, which, at two opposite edges, includes coupling parts that allow joining by a downward movement, the coupling parts including a male part that fits in a female part, wherein the male part comprises a laterally protruding lip with at a lower side a downward facing support surface.

The invention relates to a decorative panel, in particular a floor panel, ceiling panel or wall panel, and to a method for manufacturing such decorative panel. The panel according to the present invention comprises includes at least one foamed layer comprising including an upper side and a lower side, and at least one decorative solid layer either directly or indirectly, affixed on said upper side of the foamed layer, wherein both the foamed layer and the decorative solid layer are wood based materials. The invention also relates to a floor covering consisting of a plurality of such panels.

An access mat system and method of assembly is provided. An access mat system having a plurality of wooden layers arranged in a stacked orientation. A plurality of paired angled through holes are bored in each plank of the plurality of wooden layers except for a topmost layer of the plurality of wooden layers. A plurality of paired angled blind holes are bored in each plank of the topmost layer. The plurality of paired angled blind holes are positioned to correspond to the plurality of paired angled through holes. A plurality of biodegradable fasteners are inserted into the plurality of paired angled blind holes and the pair angled through holes, wherein the paired angled blind holes are bored in opposing orientations and do not touch within the plank and wherein the paired angled through holes are bored in opposing orientations and do not touch within the plank.

Floor panels have coupling parts in the form of a tongue and groove with locking surfaces. In a coupled state of two such panels, an open space is present, viewed vertically, between the tongue and the lower lip, and viewed horizontally, between the contact zone and the contact between the horizontally active locking surfaces. The underside of the tongue in the open space comprises a first face. The top side of the lower lip in the open space comprises a second face parallel to the first face. In the coupled state of two such panels, at least one face is perpendicular to the panel and intersects both the first face of the first coupled panel and the second plane of the panel coupled to the first panel.

A set of essentially identical floorboards each including a front face and a rear face extending in the horizontal plane, a core, and a surface layer, a mechanical locking system is arranged at least at two opposite edges for connecting a floorboard with an adjacent floorboard in a horizontal and a vertical direction, said mechanical locking system being configured for connecting the floorboard with the adjacent floorboard by vertical folding, wherein one of said opposite edges is provided with a horizontally extending protrusion at an upper edge, and wherein said protrusion is configured to overlap a surface groove at an upper edge of the other of said opposite edges, such that two connected and adjacent floorboards have upper overlapping edges.

A decorative panel including a substrate material and a decorative top layer, wherein the decorative top layer includes at least one timber layer with a wood structure, wherein the timber layer is a compressed timber layer with naturally occurring vessels throughout a thickness of the wood structure, the vessels being collapsed.

Floor panels are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system on long and short edges allowing installation with vertical snap folding that could be accomplished automatically without tools and where the short edge locking system has a tongue made in one piece with the panel. The floor panels may have a first and a second connector at the long edges that are configured to obtain a minimum of friction facilitating a displacement, by a spring back force from the bending of a short edge locking strip, of a new panel in a horizontal direction along the long edge during the vertical snap folding action.
