Abstract

A board consisting at least of a substrate formed at least of a gypsum-based and/or cement-based basic material layer. The board is provided with a chamfer extending through the basic material layer.

Claims (24)

1 . A panel for interior decorative use, comprising:

a basic material layer comprising a cement-based material and a metal soap;

a top layer giving a decorative appearance to the panel and located on a surface of the basic material layer.

2 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the metal soap is selected from a group consisting of aluminum stearate, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, zinc stearate, and zinc laurate.

3 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the basic material layer comprises between 0.1 and 1 percent by weight of metal soaps.

4 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the basic material layer comprises reinforcement fibers.

5 . The panel of claim 4 , wherein the reinforcement fibers are present in the basic material layer substantially over an entire thickness of the basic material layer.

6 . The panel of claim 4 , wherein the reinforcement fibers are selected from a group consisting of synthetic fibers, natural fibers, wood fibers, paper fibers, carbon fibers, glass fibers, and combinations thereof.

7 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the top layer comprises a Direct Pressure Laminate (DPL) top layer.

8 . The panel of claim 1 , wherein the panel is a floor panel, a wall panel or a ceiling panel.

9 . A panel for interior decorative use, comprising:

a basic material layer comprising a cement-based material;

a top layer giving a decorative appearance to the panel and located on a surface of the basic material layer;

wherein the basic material layer comprises a hydrophobic additive;

wherein the basic material layer comprises reinforcement fibers.

10 . The panel of claim 9 , wherein the reinforcement fibers are present in the basic material layer substantially over an entire thickness of the basic material layer.

11 . The panel of claim 9 , wherein the reinforcement fibers are selected from a group consisting of synthetic fibers, natural fibers, wood fibers, paper fibers, carbon fibers, glass fibers, and combinations thereof.

12 . The panel of claim 9 , wherein the top layer comprises a Direct Pressure Laminate (DPL) top layer.

13 . The panel of claim 9 , wherein the panel is a floor panel, a wall panel or a ceiling panel.

14 . The panel of claim 9 , wherein the hydrophobic additive is selected from a group consisting of a hydrophobic powder on a basis of silane or silicone resin, a silicate with hydrophobic features, a lithium silicate, a silane, and a siloxane.

15 . A panel for interior decorative use, comprising:

a basic material layer comprising a cement-based material and a metal soap;

a top layer giving a decorative appearance to the panel and located on a surface of the basic material layer;

wherein the basic material layer comprises reinforcement fibers.
