Abstract: The disclosure relates to a panel comprising: a panel body extending in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction; a retaining groove extending in the transverse direction in an end short side of the panel body; and a locking element which is inserted in the retaining groove substantially immovably, wherein, for an extension bo of the retaining groove in the transverse direction relative to a nominal width B of the panel body between a first edge extending in the longitudinal direction and a second edge of the panel body extending in the longitudinal direction, the following applies: 0.50?b0/B?0.97, in particular 0.75?b0/B?0.95, preferably 0.85?B0/B?0.93 and particularly preferably b0/B=0.90±0.02. An unbreakable and leak-proof panel having good and material-friendly locking is made possible by the retaining groove which extends over only a large portion of the short side and by the locking element immovably received in the retaining groove.

Abstract: A panel including a core, a top side, an underside, a first edge pair and a second edge pair. The first edge pair has a groove profile at a panel edge and a complementary tongue profile at the opposite panel edge, which are lockable by a pivotal movement so that in the locked state vertical locking is achieved and movement of locked panels away from each other in the plane of the panels is opposed. At its opposite panel edges the second edge pair has a receiving hook and a complementary arresting hook. The arresting hook can be assembled to the receiving hook by a joining movement in a plane perpendicular to the panel plane simultaneously by the pivotal movement for the first edge pair. The receiving hook or the arresting hook has a holding groove for a separate locking element that provides vertical locking. A butting surface and a counterpart butting surface are provided at least at the second edge pair.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a panel having a sealed panel edge, comprising at least the method steps of: providing a raw panel comprising a panel upper face, a panel lower face and at least one pair of panel edges lying opposite each other, the raw panel having a carrier plate core and a print substrate layer, which is applied to the panel upper face; forming a chamfer between at least one panel edge of the pair of panel edges lying opposite each other and the panel upper face; sealing the at least one panel edge, the sealing comprising impregnation with an impregnating agent, the impregnating agent being applied to the at least one panel edge and to the chamfer.

Abstract: A panel including a core, a top side, an underside, a first edge pair and a second edge pair. The first edge pair has a groove profile at a panel edge and a complementary tongue profile at the opposite panel edge, which are lockable by a pivotal movement and positively lock so that movement of locked panels away from each other in the plane of the panels is opposed. At its opposite panel edges the second edge pair has a complementary receiving hook and an arresting hook. The arresting hook is assembled to the receiving hook by a joining movement in a plane perpendicular to the panel plane by the pivotal movement for the first edge pair. The receiving hook or the arresting hook has a holding groove for a separate locking element that provides vertical locking. A butting surface is arranged at the receiving hook substantially orthogonal to the top side. The arresting hook has a counterpart butting surface substantially orthogonal to the top side.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a panel comprising a structured lacquer surface, having a base panel, a melamine resin layer, an adhesion promoter layer and a lacquer-containing top coat, the melamine resin layer being provided on a surface of the base layer, the adhesion promoter layer being provided on the melamine resin layer and the lacquer-containing top coat being provided on the adhesion promoter layer, the lacquer-containing top coat being structured. The disclosure also relates to a method for producing a panel of this type with a structured lacquer surface.

Abstract: A panel having a panel surface and an edge pair of mutually opposite complementary panel edges provided with complementary locking elements. The complementary locking elements are configured such that, when two panels are assembled, both a locking action of the panel edges in a direction perpendicular to the panel surface and a locking action preventing the panels from moving apart is achieved underneath a visible joint by the assembled complementary locking elements. The panel edges with the locking elements have an upper portion and a lower portion, relative to thickness of the panel. The locking elements are arranged and configured in the lower portion. The upper portion forms the upper joint region, including the visible part of the joint. The upper portion on each panel edge of the edge pair has a chamfer which, when two panels are assembled, forms a depressed joint. The chamfers of the complementary panel edges are different sizes in the upper portion.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for producing a printed panel, comprising the following steps: a) providing a flat carrier; b) optionally applying a resin layer to the flat carrier; c) optionally applying a paper layer or nonwoven layer to the flat carrier; d) optionally calendering the produced layer structure, in particular at a temperature between ?40° C. and ?250° C.

Abstract: The invention relates to a laminated decorative plate comprising a core made of a fiber or particle material, a resinous intermediate layer on at least one side of the core, a decorative layer not impregnated with resin and having a graphic image of the surface of the imitated material, and a transparent core layer, into which the relief-like reproduction of the surface structure of the imitated material is stamped. The intermediate layer is made of liquid glue, curable by pressure and/or heat, that is applied to the core.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a printing subsurface for direct printing for producing a decorative panel, in particular a direct printed decorative panel without a backing layer. In addition, the present disclosure relates to a decorative panel which comprises a printing subsurface produced according to a method according to the disclosure.
