Abstract:
A subfloor component comprises an insulating foam panel having first and second opposing faces and a plurality of intersecting grooves in the first face to define, in cross-section, a plurality of pedestals having at least one wall extending toward the second face, a moisture-resistant layer formed on the first face of the panel that conforms to the pedestals, and a hardboard layer on the second face of the panel.
Abstract:
Mounting fixture (1) for construction panels (2), consisting of an H-shaped profile comprised of a bottom plate (3), a midriff (4) and a front plate (5), whose bottom plate (3) and front plate (5) are mutually essentially parallel by the joining midriff (4), and that construction panels are intended to be attached to the space between the bottom plate (3) and the front plate (5). The midriff (4) and the front plate (5) are with evenly spaced intervals recessed so that protruding sections (6) with intermediate recesses (7) are formed in the mounting fixture's longitudinal length, said protruding sections (6) consisting of the remaining sections of the midriff (4) and the front plate (5), and that each respective recess (7) is intended to, after the construction panel's insertion, form a space for joint compound for joining and sealing of the panels.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composite siding system with interlaced end-grain corner configuration that more accurately simulates the appearance of solid or shaped wood log siding. The invention provides for a series of alternating horizontal siding elements which may be joined to a pre-constructed structure utilizing an improved interlaced end-grain corner configuration. The inventive technology specifically describes a composite siding panel system with an improved interlaced end-grain corner configuration having an internally securable fitted corner joint connection. Additionally, the invention describes a composite siding panel system with a false chinking joint as well as modifications to mitigate moisture expansion type joint damage.
Abstract:
A floor panel and a floating floor system include a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface has a visible decorative pattern and the bottom surface has a recess which extends about the periphery of the bottom surface. The recess has a recess surface. The floor panel includes a joining member with a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface of the joining member is adhered to the recess surface of the recess. The bottom surface of the joining member and the bottom surface of the floor panel are essentially flush which each other. The use of the joining member does not create any imprints on the top surface of the floor panel.
Abstract:
A flooring system including at least two sets of flooring panels. A first set of flooring panels having a first shape and recessed grooves on the opposite lateral sides. The first set of panels being constructed from a plurality of wood elements adhesively affixed together. A second set of flooring panels having a second shape and an integral tongue protruding from the opposite lateral sides. The second set of panels being constructed at least one wood element. The first set of panels and second set of panels are connected by mating the tongue and groove. The resulting connection between the panels forming a floor with substantially flush upper surface.
Abstract:
A thermoplastic laminate plank is described wherein the thermoplastic laminate plank comprises a core, a print layer, and optionally an overlay. The core comprises at least one thermoplastic material and has a top surface and bottom surface wherein a print layer is affixed to the top surface of the core and an overlay layer is affixed to the top surface of the print layer. Optionally, an underlay layer can be located and affixed between the bottom surface of the print layer and the top surface of the core. In addition, a method of making the thermoplastic laminate plank is further described which involves extruding at least one thermoplastic material into the shape of the core and affixing a laminate on the core, wherein the laminate comprises an overlay affixed to the top surface of the print layer and optionally an underlay layer affixed to the bottom surface of the print layer.
Abstract:
Floorboards with a format corresponding to a traditional parquet block for laying of mechanically joined floating flooring. Rectangular floorboards include a surface layer and a core with two long sides and two short sides, for making a floating flooring, which floorboards are mechanically lockable and which along their four sides have pairs of opposing connectors for locking similar, adjoining floorboards to each other both vertically and horizontally wherein the long sides have a length not exceeding 80 cm and the short sides have a width not exceeding 10 cm.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a modular floor tile, comprising a tile body and a splicing bar. The tile body consists of a base and a surface layer where the surface layer is used as an appearance for the modular floor tile. The base has a first slot and a second slot disposed on two opposing parallel sides of the bottom of the base. The splicing bar is partially embedded in the first slot in a manner to form an protruding portion matched to the second slot where the remainder of the top surface on the protruding portion is used to adhere to the second slot of an adjacent tile body. Therefore, the amount of adhesive used can be reduced while maintaining effective adhesion and adhesive overflow is avoided.
