A set of essentially identical subfloor panels including a joint configured to be glued, wherein the joint includes an element at a strip which protrudes from a first joint edge at an edge of a panel and an element groove at an adjacent edge. The joint includes a flexible tongue which is configured to cooperate, in the joined position, with a tongue groove for positioning of the panel relative the adjacent panel in a first vertical direction. The joint is configured for a joining of the edge and the adjacent edge by a vertical motion of the edge relative the adjacent edge. A space above the strip and between the element and the first joint edge is configured to be filled partly or completely with a glue before the edge and the adjacent edge are joined.

A method for manufacturing panels includes at least the step of covering one or more side edges of a relevant panel, and moving the panel with its respective side edge relatively beyond an application device. The application device includes at least one nozzle, positioned in the plane of the panel when viewed at an angle of less than 90° to the corresponding side edge. A floor panel includes a covered side edge.

A floor element includes a decorative top layer on a polymer substrate. The sides of the floor element have a profile along a section with a surface at right angles to the decorative top layer. The floor panel is provided with a water-repellent coating on at least one side. For each side and along the entire length of the side, at least a part of the profile is coated with a water-repellent coating.

The invention relates to a panel in the form of a strip or tile for producing of a floor covering, the panel comprising two pairs of opposite sides defining—two opposite edges for the assembly at an angle, of which one edge comprises male coupling means provided from a side wall of the panel, and an opposite edge comprises complementary female coupling means provided from a side wall of the panel; two opposite edges for vertical assembly, of which one edge comprises a male coupling means provide provided from a bottom face of the panel, and an opposite edge comprises complementary female coupling mead provided from a top face of the panel. According to the invention, the male coupling means of the edges for vertical assembly comprise two parallel groves that extend along the edge and open onto a lower face of the panel so as to define an inner male groove.

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.

A composed element, such as a piece of furniture, wherein the composed element comprises at least a rear wall, as well as a number of constructional parts forming a whole in which the rear wall has to be provided. The rear wall forms the rear side of the composed element and includes one or more rear wall parts. The composed element comprises seats for installing at least one of the rear wall parts, which are configured such that the rear wall part can be slid into the seats starting from the rear side of the composed element from a position differing from the final plane in which the rear wall part will be situated in the final condition.

A panel can have a face surface having a length and a width. The panel can include a first tongue that extends along the length and a second tongue that extends along the width. The panel can further include first front and back legs that extend along the length of the panel and define a first groove therebetween and second front and back legs that extends along the width of the panel and define a second groove. At least one of the first tongue or the first back leg has a longitudinal dimension that is greater than the length of the face surface; or at least one of the second tongue or the second back leg can have a longitudinal dimension that is greater than the width of the face surface.

A panel for forming a covering, more particularly a floor panel for forming a floor covering, which at least at two opposite edges, comprises coupling parts arranged to couple two of such panels to each other by means of a downward movement of one panel in respect to the other. The coupling parts form a first locking system arranged to lock in the plane of the panels and perpendicularly to the edges, as well as form a second locking system, which effects a locking perpendicularly to the plane of the panels. At least one of the coupling parts is formed at least partially in soft PVC (polyvinyl chloride), as well as at least partially formed from a milled profiled part of this soft PVC.
