Abstract: A panel including a core, a top side, an underside, a first edge pair and a second edge pair. The first edge pair has a groove profile at a panel edge and a complementary tongue profile at the opposite panel edge, which are lockable by a pivotal movement so that in the locked state vertical locking is achieved and movement of locked panels away from each other in the plane of the panels is opposed. At its opposite panel edges the second edge pair has a receiving hook and a complementary arresting hook. The arresting hook can be assembled to the receiving hook by a joining movement in a plane perpendicular to the panel plane simultaneously by the pivotal movement for the first edge pair. The receiving hook or the arresting hook has a holding groove for a separate locking element that provides vertical locking. A butting surface and a counterpart butting surface are provided at least at the second edge pair. The butting surface is at the receiving hook and the counterpart butting surface is at the arresting hook and both are substantially orthogonally relative to the panel top side. The counterpart butting surface or the butting surface has at least one sealing nipple. The butting surface or the counterpart butting surface has at least one sealing groove matching the sealing nipple in positively locking relationship at the panel edge and the sealing nipple and the sealing groove are respectively arranged parallel to the panel edge in question and extend over the entire length of the butting surface and the counterpart butting surface respectively.
