Decorative laminate panel with water resistant edge

摘要

A decorative laminate panel (10) comprising a decorative surfacing layer (14), a backing layer (16) and a substrate (18) between the decorative surfacing layer and the backing layer, the substrate including an edge (20). The surfacing layer, the edge of the substrate and the backing layer define a recess (22). An edge member (24) is positioned within the recess and includes an outwardly facing interlocking profile (26) for attachment to adjacent panels. The invention relates also to an assembly comprising two panels and one connector. Each panel has a recess formed in at least one outer edge and a groove formed in a bottom surface adjacent the recess. The connector includes a base with a projection shaped and dimensioned for receipt within the recess of each panel. The base further includes two protrusions shaped and dimensioned for receipt within the grooves formed in the bottom surface of the panels. <IMAGE>
