The invention relates to a fastening system (1) for rectangular, tabular panels (2, 3, 10), especially floor panels. Comprising retaining profiles disposed on the small faces of said panels (2, 3, 10). Opposite retaining profiles match said retaining profiles in such a manner that similar panels (2, 3, 10) can be interlinked. The panels are provided with opposite first retaining profiles that are configured in such a manner that on a panel (2, 3, 10) being in first line a new panel (2) can be locked in second line by attaching the new panel (2) to the installed panel (3) at a temporary angle relative to the installed panel (3) and then swiveling it down into the plane of the installed panel (3). The panel further comprises opposite second retaining elements that comprise corresponding hook elements (6, 7). A hook connection (8) can be established by means of one of the hook elements (6, 7) of the new panel (2) and a hook element (6, 7) of a panel (3) that is already installed in second line by swiveling down the new panel (2). Every hook connection (8) is associated with an additional locking element (13, 22, 26, 27, 34, 35, 36, 40, 46) that prevents, in the hooked state of two panels (2, 3, 10), the hook connection (8) from being released in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the installed panels (2, 3 10).

A carbon nanotube film structure includes at least two overlapped carbon nanotube films, with adjoining films being aligned in different directions. Each carbon nanotube film includes a plurality of successive carbon nanotube bundles aligned in the same direction. The carbon nanotube structure further includes a plurality of micropores formed by/between the adjoining carbon nanotube bundles. A method for fabricating the carbon nanotube film structure includes the steps of: (a) providing an array of carbon nanotubes; (b) pulling out, using a tool, one carbon nanotube film from the array of carbon nanotubes; (c) providing a frame and adhering the carbon nanotube film to the frame; (d) repeating steps (b) and (c), depositing each successive film on a preceding film, thereby achieving at least a two-layer carbon nanotube film; and (e) peeling the carbon nanotube film off the frame to achieve the carbon nanotube structure.

Floor panel which is provided with means for releasably connecting at least two panels, it being the case that a tongue is formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the side edge and corresponding recess is formed opposite it, that the recess comprises a top lip and a bottom lip, and the bottom lip forms a shoulder with a front shoulder side, said shoulder blocking the panels in the transverse direction (Q), that an undercut is adjoined by a recess, with a bearing region which corresponds to the shoulder, and a wall, which, with the front shoulder side in the installed state, is located opposite the latter, and that corresponding form-fitting elements are formed on the wall and the front shoulder side, said form-fitting elements, in the installed state, engaging one inside the other and bringing about locking in the vertical direction (V), and an underside of the tongue and a top side of the bottom lip runs parallel to the top side.

Floor panels are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system including tongue and grooves provided with protrusions and cavities which are displaceable in relation to each other and configured such that the protrusions can obtain a vertically unlocked position where they match the cavities and a vertically locked position where the protrusions overlap each other.

Floorboards for making a floating floor have a core ( 30 ) which comprises at least two layers of material (L 1, L 2 ), which are arranged at different distances from the surface layer ( 31 ), and which differ in respect of material properties or material composition. Semi manufactures for making such floorboards are also disclosed.

A panel, in particular a flooring panel, of a wood material which is provided with a mechanism for the detachable connection of a least two panels, whereby form-fitting elements for locking in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction with another panel are embodied on at least one lateral edge of a first panel, whereby a chamfer is embodied on at least one lateral edge starting from an upper side. The chamfer or the form-fitting elements are coated or impregnated with at least one melamine layer.

A floor covering of hard panels (2) having at least on two opposite edges (3-4; 5-6), coupling elements (7) made in one piece with the panels (2), so that several of such panels (2) can be mutually coupled, whereby these coupling elements (7) provide for an interlocking in a direction (R1) perpendicular to the plane of the floor covering (1), as well as in a direction (R2) perpendicular to the edges (3-4; 5-6) and parallel to the plane of the floor covering (1), and whereby these coupling elements (7) are made such that the panels (2) can be rotated into and/or out of one another at least along the above-mentioned edges (3-4; 5-6). The panels (2) are provided, at least on the above-mentioned edges (3-4; 5-6), near the top side, with a part from which has been removed an amount of material such as by a level.

Floorboards consisting of a core and a surface layer with decorative joint edge portions which are formed by removing the surface layer.

A fibreboard, insulating, wall panel includes an integral air and vapor barrier of metal foil or metallized plastic film adhered to one surface of the panel. Panels are attached to a stud wall frame. Abutting panel joints are taped to provide a continuance vapor barrier. Increased thermal and acoustic insulation as well as structural integrity of the barrier is provided by the panel.

A metal fixture assembly for installation of vertical sidings to fix the siding to a furring, which is capable of providing a construction of the installation having excellent appearance and weathering, and a method using the metal fixture assembly to facilitate the installation. A metal fixture assembly for installation of a vertical lower siding and a vertical upper siding vertically adjacent to each other on a furring is positioned therebetween. The metal fixture assembly includes a fastening metal fixture to be fixed to the furring, an upper metal fitting provided between the fastening metal fixture and the upper siding and fittingly fixed on a bottom portion thereof, and a lower metal fitting provided between the fastening metal fixture and the lower siding and fittingly fixed on a top portion thereof. The fastening metal fixture has a fixing part to be fixed to the furring, a supporting part projecting from the fixing part to support the lower and upper sidings, an upper locking part provided between the fixing part and the supporting part and locking the upper metal fitting thereto, and a lower locking part provided between the fixing part and the supporting part and locking the lower metal fitting thereto.

Floor panels (1, 1′) are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system on long and short edges (5a, 5b, 4a, 4b) allowing installation with vertical snap folding that could be accomplished automatically without tools and where the short edge (4a, 4b) locking system comprises a tongue (10) made in one piece with the panel.

Building panels with a thin and embossed surface layer and a sub layer between a surface layer and a core.

A surface covering is described wherein the surface covering includes at least one support surface, such as a core, with at least one base coating located on the support surface. The support surface preferably has a textured top surface. A printed pattern is located on the base coating and preferably the printed pattern is in register with the textured surface. At least one protective layer is located on the printed pattern. Methods of making the surface covering are further described.
