Abstract
Building panels, such as a floor or wall panels. The panels include a first mechanical locking system include a first locking strip at one of the third edge or fourth edge configured to cooperate for horizontal locking with a first locking groove at the other of the third or fourth edge of an adjacent building panel, preferably by means of a folding motion, and a second locking system including a second locking strip at one of the first edge or second edge, configured to cooperate for horizontal locking with a second locking groove at the other of the first or second edge of an adjacent building panel. The thickness of the second locking strip, in a thickness-direction of the building panel, exceeds the thickness of the first locking strip.
Claims14
A set of similar or essentially identical building panels including a panel, comprising:
- a first mechanical locking system at respective opposite and parallel third and fourth edges, the first locking system comprising a first locking strip at one of the third edge or fourth edge, the first locking strip having a first locking strip main body and a first locking element, the first locking element being configured to cooperate for horizontal locking with a first locking groove at the other of the third or fourth edge of an adjacent building panel, the first locking element extending vertically higher than the first locking strip main body, and
- a second locking system at respective opposite and parallel first and second edges, the second locking system comprising a second locking strip at one of the first edge or second edge, the second locking strip having a second locking strip main body and a second locking element, the second locking element being configured to cooperate for horizontal locking with a second locking groove at the other of the first or second edge of an adjacent building panel, the second locking element extending vertically higher than the second locking strip main body,
- wherein an uppermost surface of the first locking element is arranged below an uppermost surface of the second locking strip main body,
- and wherein the second locking strip extends, in a width direction, along at least an entire length of a front surface of the panel, such that the entire length of the front surface of the panel is flanked by the second locking strip.
