planking
Explanation:
planché is a french word.

The ref site shows it many times. Near the top it says:

"...Terminology, as usual, is a problem in studying floors. The term traverses can be used in discussing either roofs or floors, while planché can be translated as planking..."

podría ser un sinónimo de "lámina"


Explanation:
en ese caso yo diría "plate", "sanitary plate". Pero obviamente es mucha suposición y solamente un indicio que encontré en el link de abajo. Busca Planché PVC y te llevará al fabricante, un tal José Juan Bas Terol, haz click en el nombre y te saldrá un listado, que aparece en la segunda referencia que te envío.

Mucha suerte.

slab


Explanation:
No tengo idea de los regionalismos de Mallorca, pero la lógica dice que podría referirse a una losa (placa base) sanitaria de una construcción. Entonces sería Slab = losa
