Abstract: Disclosed is a panel for covering a surface of a room, having a panel element, which extends in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, for transferring use loads introduced from a top side of the panel element to a bottom side of the panel element facing the surface of the room, wherein the top side is spaced from the bottom side in a thickness direction, and having a locking hook, projecting from the panel element in the longitudinal direction, for latching into a receiving groove of another panel, wherein an end face reference plane of an end face of the panel element extending away from the locking hook is inclined relative to the thickness direction, thereby forming an obtuse angle with the locking hook. The obtuse angle between the locking hook and the end face reference plane allows for a seep-resistant and fracture-proof panel.

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: Decorated sheets on the basis of cellulose non-woven fabrics, such as paper, for the production of decorated laminates are impregnated with synthetic resins. Consequently, their sizes are changed, they become brittle and are not water-resistant in the laminate. In the method according to the invention the printed or unprinted non-woven fabrics are impregnated with an aqueous dispersion of a polymer which is cross-linkable by UV radiation, dried and optionally printed and finally irradiated with UV radiation. The decorated sheets thus obtained are water-resistant in the laminate and can be coiled up and stored after each process step.
