Abstract: The invention relates to an improved lightweight panel, novel uses thereof, as well as to an improved method for manufacturing the same.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for laying and mechanically connecting panels in rows parallel to one another. The method includes forming a super panel comprising a first plurality of panels in a first panel row, to be newly laid, the super panel being formed by connecting together second pairs of locking elements in adjacent panels of the first panel row. The method also includes connecting the super panel to a second plurality of panels in an already laid second panel row by working in sections, beginning at an end of the super panel, by utilizing a torsional flexibility of the super panel to engage the first pair of locking elements. During the connecting, the first plurality of panels do not move relative to each other along the second pair of edges.

Abstract: A laminated panel adapted to form a covering for a wall, floor or ceiling has an outer surface and sides which are connected to an adjacent panel. The panel has a recess in the outer surface at the transition to a side, and a moisture-repellent layer on the wall of the recess. When two panels are connected the moisture-repellent layers come together at the recesses, to form a joint which is protected from moisture.

Abstract: The invention relates to a panel having a layered structure, the panel especially comprising a stress-bearing board provided with a decorative layer attached thereto. Further, the invention relates to a method for producing one such panel.

Abstract: The invention relates to stacks of panels (1), in particular, laminated panels, packaged for transport or storage. Said stack comprises several coated panels, for example, laminated panels, panels made from plywood, fibreboard or wood panels. The stack further comprises a packaging, with at least one strap (3), going around the stack and/or at least one retainer element (2), on the front side of the stack for fixing the panels. For example, the strap or the retainer element are provided in addition to further packaging elements, such as shrink-wrap or cardboard completely or partly enclosing the panels. The retainer element can, for example, be fixed to the stack and enclose the front face of the stack. By means of both measures, either individually or in combination, the withdrawal and removal of single panels from the stack is hindered or prevented. For example the strap can run perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the panels.

Abstract: A décor paper for use as a surface on a floor panel has applied to it quaternary ammonium compounds in a resin mixture. The resin may be urea or melamine resin, and the mixture may also include abrasion-resistant particles such as corundum. The mixture applied to the paper provides it with antistatic properties, so that, when used on a floor panel, very little static electricity is generated by people walking on it. The floor panel is made up by the paper, attached to a one surface of a carrier, with a corresponding paper attached to the opposing surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a decorative laminate with an abrasion-resistant surface coating for laminate floor boards or the like, which is characterized in that the thermoset resin mass that forms the resin impregnation of the decorative web and the abrasion-resistant surface resin layer that is materially integral with it with a closed surface is formed with a thermosettable synthetic resin and conventional additives and/or adjuvants, the synthetic resin mass as a component containing a mixture integrated into the resin mass or such a compound of at least one wax or wax blend based on a polyalkylene polymer and at least one polyvinyl pyrrolidone, in that the particles of the abrasion-resistant hard material in the surface layer are concentrated essentially only directly bordering the decorative web surface and in the vicinity thereof, and in that the covering density of the particles of abrasive material located in the surface layer in the same—proceeding from a high value directly on the decorative web—towar
