A building-construction panel includes a tongue on one edge and a groove on an opposite edge that receives the tongue of an adjacent panel. A shoulder on the tongue-side edge defines an abutted surface that is contacted by an abutting surface on the groove-side edge to limit panel travel during installation and maintain a gap between upper edge portions of the adjacent panels. A bottom transition is formed on the groove-side edge so that the groove-side abutting surface is smaller than the tongue-side shoulder abutted surface. In this way, the relatively smaller groove-side abutting surface structurally maintains the gap but also minimizes frictional interpanel contact area to minimize squeaking. And the relatively larger tongue-side shoulder abutted surface helps keep the shoulder from being collapsed into the groove from overdriving the panels together during installation. In typical embodiments, the panel is a high-performance structural wood subflooring panel. 2.

It is the creation of a new material derived from a mixture of renewable natural raw materials, i.e. dried leaves (whole and/or broken—crushed and/or powdered (granulated)) olives (whole and/or part of it and/or specific varieties), as well as inorganic and/or organic and/or synthetic adhesives. The whole mixture that is created undergoes some kind of pressure—depending on its use. Not only can it be used throughout the process but it can also function as a substrate—of varied materials—in all dimensions and shapes. The invention is a new environmentally friendly-partially or fully biodegradable-material that boasts great mechanical strength and resistance to ultraviolet radiation and moisture. This invention has the potential to be used as a flat and/or a three-dimensional surface (substrate part and/or entirely) in goods, works, products and structures for interior and/or exterior use, as a decorative material, a fine art and aesthetic material as well as for the manufacture of objects (general and/or special use). 110.-.

Techniques are disclosed for finishing roughed-in walls with faux logs such that the finished walls have the appearance of being made using actual square logs. In one example, such faux logs are fabricated using conventional 2× (two-by) lumber to produce the square log appearance. These faux logs are then stacked and attached to the face of outside and/or inside walls. Walls fitted with such faux logs appear to be built of square logs. Variations provide for chinking between courses of faux logs. The height of each faux log course can be as little as a few inches to well over a foot or more. With one variation, the height of a faux log course can appear to be several feet or more. 1.

Products and methods for constructing mass timber structures in multi-story configurations using long strand timber (LST) engineered wood products. Structural LST panels of predetermined dimensions are fabricated using LST manufacturing methods, typically involving steam pressing a billet of scrimber material that includes treatment materials and bonding material. The long strands of the material used in the panels are oriented vertically for improved load bearing capacity. The panels are sized for shipment to a job site. Prior to shipment, a plurality of panels are pre-processed by cutting openings for windows, doors, tongues, and grooves at a fabrication plant. At the job site, the LST panels are quickly assembled into a building shell (i.e. full exterior walls). Floor and roof joists are then attached using conventional wood fastening devices, and interior build out can commence very quickly after initial construction of the exterior walls. 1. A multi-story building comprising:a plurality of prefabricated long strand timber (LST) engineered wood panels, each panel having at least one side edge shaped to engage with a side edge of an adjacent panel, to thereby resist relative vertical movement between the panels;each LST panel having a length, a width, and a thickness, and having a vertically extending attachment edge extending along each vertically extending side edge of the panel,each LST panel comprising pre-cut openings for windows and doors;each LST panel comprising a linearly extending first engagement structure along a vertically extending side edge of the panel and a complementary linearly extending second engagement structure extending along the other and oppositely disposed vertically extending side edge of the panel, wherein the first engagement structure is configured to engage with a second engagement structure of an adjacent panel,wherein each of the LST panels comprise a cured, long strand timber material that is formed in a steam press from a ...
