Abstract
A wall or ceiling panel, which, on one side edge, comprises a male coupling part and, on an opposite side edge, comprises a female coupling part. The male coupling part comprises a tongue and the female coupling part comprises a groove. The groove is bordered by a front lip and a rear lip, with the characteristic that the panel forms a ceiling-high wall panel and/or has a length of at least 2400 mm.
Claims20
A wall or ceiling panel, which, on one side edge of the panel, comprises a male coupling part and, on an opposite side edge of the panel, comprises a female coupling part;
- wherein the coupling parts are configured such that two of such panels, by means of the coupling parts, can be coupled to each other in a plane and thus a coupled condition can be realized between the panels;
- wherein the male coupling part comprises a tongue and the female coupling part comprises a groove, which tongue and groove, in the coupled condition, form a tongue and groove connection, which realizes a mechanical locking between the panels in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the panels;
- wherein the groove is bordered by a front lip and a rear lip;
- wherein the coupling parts each comprise a locking part, which locking parts, in the coupled condition, realize a mechanical locking between the panels in the direction in the plane of the panels and perpendicular to the side edges;
- wherein the panel forms a ceiling-high wall panel and/or has a length of at least 2400 mm;
- wherein the coupling parts are of the turning type;
- wherein the rear lip extends in distal direction beyond an open or free end of the front lip;
- and
- wherein the panel comprises a core of cement fiberboard or gypsum fiberboard.
