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.

The invention relates to an area covering element including at least one sheet-like carrier core, at least one protective layer and a decorative layer arranged between the sheet-like carrier core and the at least one protective layer. The sheet-like carrier core consists in this case of a strong, load-bearing carrier material and has at least an upper side and an underside arranged opposite from the upper side and also at least a first and second side face, arranged opposite from one another and respectively joining the upper side and underside. The decorative layer is formed by a printed film, which is firmly connected to the carrier core, the printed film at least partially covering at least the upper side and the first and second side faces of the sheet-like carrier core and the protective layer covering the full surface area at least of the printed film connected to the carrier core.

A double plate floor panel is provided. The double plate floor panel includes a first panel, a second panel, and a plurality of connectors. The first panel has a first plurality of recesses on a first surface, and the second panel has a second plurality of recesses on a second surface. Each connector of the plurality of connectors inserts into a recess of the first plurality of recess and a recess of the second plurality of recesses. The connectors are sandwiched between the first surface of the first panel and the second surface of the second panel. A method of assembling the double plate floor panel is also provided.

A composite wood floor board assembled adjacent to another composite wood floor board, each the board comprising: a top layer of laminated hardwood comprising: a top side; a bottom side; a first lateral side; and a second lateral side opposite the first lateral side, wherein at least one of the first and second lateral sides is formed without shiplap lips; and a bottom layer comprising a planar fiber-reinforced polymer composite that is bonded to the bottom side of the top layer of the laminated hardwood and reinforces the top layer, wherein the bottom layer of fiber-reinforced polymer composite extends laterally outwardly by a distance up to two inches (2″) from the first lateral side of the top layer, and wherein a part of the bottom layer of the composite wood floor board is bonded to the top layer with a first adhesive and a part of the bottom layer is bonded with a second adhesive or sealant.

The invention relates to an area covering element including at least one sheet-like carrier core, at least one protective layer and a decorative layer arranged between the sheet-like carrier core and the at least one protective layer. The sheet-like carrier core consists in this case of a strong, load-bearing carrier material and has at least an upper side and an underside arranged opposite from the upper side and also at least a first and second side face, arranged opposite from one another and respectively joining the upper side and underside. The decorative layer is formed by a printed film, which is firmly connected to the carrier core, the printed film at least partially covering at least the upper side and the first and second side faces of the sheet-like carrier core and the protective layer covering the full surface area at least of the printed film connected to the carrier core.

Building panels, especially laminated floor panels are shown, which are provided with a locking system and several core grooves at the rear side in order to save material and decrease weight. Building panels, each having a surface layer on a front side, a backing layer on a rear side and an intermediate core, wherein the intermediate core and the surface and the backing layer all comprise wood fibres and thermosetting resins, the building panels are provided with a locking system for vertical and horizontal locking of a first edge of a first building panel to an adjacent second edge of a second building panel.

A building panel including a balancing layer having a top surface and a bottom surface, a first sub-layer is arranged on the top surface of the balancing layer, wherein the first sub-layer includes a binder, a surface layer arranged above a surface of the first sub-layer facing away from the balancing layer, the surface layer having a top surface and a bottom surface and including a first wood veneer (10) having a grain direction, wherein an extension of the surface layer in a direction parallel to the grain direction of the first wood veneer is equal or less than an extension of the balancing layer in the direction parallel to the grain direction of the first wood veneer, and wherein the surface layer is arranged within the extension of the balancing layer in the direction parallel to the grain direction of the first wood veneer.

A rectangular panel for floor-, wall- or ceiling coverings is provided comprising a visible decorative side, wherein the decorative side comprises at least one undulated edge line, which extends along the long side edges of the panel, said undulated edge line having a different design than the rest of the decorative side. In the provided panel(s), the physical edges and the optical edges may diverge, which provides the possibility that multiple panels can be installed as floor ceiling or wall covering in a way that the physical edges in a corresponding covering become almost invisible whereas the optical edges (i.e. the undulated edge lines) are perceived as artificial optical edge of virtual panels forming the covering.
