Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing panels from a board which includes dissecting the board along predefined lines. The board includes a core material board and is laminated with a laminate material layer. The board is dissected along an impressed region running linear over the complete surface of the laminate material layer. Also disclosed are a press plate, a method for the production of a board having an impressed region, and a board for producing the panels.

Abstract: A panel for wall-, ceiling- or floor coverings is provided, the panel comprising an upper side, a lower side, and front ends, defining a circumference of the panel in the installed state, and at least one front end is protruded with respect to the circumference by a detachable protruding lip formed at the lower side, one horizontal locking groove at the lower side, characterized in that the protruding lip has a predetermined break-off surface. Furthermore, methods are provided for manufacturing wall-, ceiling- and/or floor coverings comprising or consisting of a plurality of the panels.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for the production of panels from a board. Said panels are produced from the board by dissecting the board along predefined lines. The board comprises a core material board and is laminated with a laminate material layer. At least one impressed region running linear over the complete surface is present in the surface where the laminate material layer is present. The dissecting of the board is accomplished along these impressed regions. After dissecting pairing mechanical locking means at opposite edges of the raw boards are milled out. According to the present invention, the impressed region has a well defined width in order to allow deviations from an ideal dissecting plane, when dissecting the board in order to produce panels. The present invention furthermore relates to a press plate, allowing for the production of boards having well defined impressed regions.
