A floor covering as a covering for a subfloor, wherein the floor covering has a layer which is composed of a curable material which is cured in the finished state of the floor covering and into which a reinforcing fabric and at least one electrical component are embedded. The at least one electrical component is connected by way of its bottom side to a subfloor, in particular an unfurnished floor, by adhesive bonding, and the reinforcing fabric covers the at least one electrical component by way of its side which is averted from the subfloor, so that the top side of the at least one electrical component is covered by the reinforcing fabric and the curable material.

A cladding system for covering an exterior wall is provided. The cladding system includes a panel for assembling on the exterior wall and an anchor for securing the panel to the exterior wall. The panel has a body with channels formed on a rear side thereof for draining water on an interior surface of the channel which is spaced away from the exterior wall. The anchor comprises tabs for fitting in to the channels and preventing a pull-out and/or a push-in of the panel relative to the exterior wall. The anchor cooperates with the panel to direct water into the drainage channels, and to define a continuous drainage path from top to bottom of the cladding system.

A column cover system includes a first column skin, a second column skin, and a column joint vertically connecting the first column skin and the second column skin. The column joint includes at least one monolithic column joint portion that defines an upper retaining ring and a lower retaining ring. When assembled, the first column skin is seated within the upper retaining ring and the second column skin is seated within the lower retaining ring.

A panel with a detachable protruding lip for wall, ceiling or floor coverings is provided. Furthermore, methods are provided for manufacturing wall, ceiling or floor coverings comprising or consisting of a plurality of the panels.
