Abstract
The present invention relates to a facing panel, on the long side surfaces of which there are connecting or locking elements () that are different or which complement each other along the two parallel long side edges (') of the facing panel (′) so that the long side edges (′) of two facing panels () with different locking elements can be connected to one another. On the visible surface () of the facing panel (′) there is a single stripe () that is parallel to and spaced apart from one of the two long side edges (′); the color of said stripe () is darker than the color of the remaining visible surface, one and the same connecting or locking element () being formed along the long-side edge () of the facing panel (′) to which the stripe () runs parallel or to which it is close, one and the same connecting or locking element () being formed on the opposite long-side edge (′), this being complementary to the connecting or locking element () or lockable thereto.
