  • PANEL
    Publication number: 20230175272
    Abstract: The panel includes a first pair of opposite edges; these comprise male and female coupling parts - in the form of a tongue and groove and locking elements - in order to couple two such panels to each other on their first pair of opposite edges. The panel and coupling parts thereof are configured so that in a covering formed with these panels, the expansion and contraction of the panels in the coupling zone on the first pair of opposite edges is compensated in this coupling zone itself.
