FLOOR PANEL

摘要

In a method for manufacturing floor panels that have at least a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate, the top layer including a thermoplastic layer that is translucent or transparent, the method may involve providing the top layer, including the thermoplastic layer, on the substrate. The method may also involve heating at least the thermoplastic layer, and structuring the thermoplastic layer using a mechanical press element.

1. A floor panel comprising:
a substrate; and a top layer glued to the substrate; wherein the substrate is a water resistant synthetic material board; wherein the top layer includes a back layer, a motif and a transparent wear layer; wherein the synthetic material board is an extruded board including synthetic material and filler; wherein the motif is provided as a printed synthetic material film; wherein each of the back layer and the transparent wear layer is a vinyl layer; wherein the floor panel is of rectangular shape defined by two pairs of opposite edges and has a thickness between 7 and 10 millimeters; wherein the top layer has a thickness of 0.5 to 3 millimeters; and wherein at least at one pair of opposite edges the floor panel includes mechanical coupling means having profiles formed for at least 70 percent of their circumference in the synthetic material board; wherein the mechanical coupling means is for enabling
a vertical locking between adjacent floor panels at the respective edges, the vertical locking being active perpendicular to the plane of coupled floor panels, andenabling a horizontal locking between adjacent floor panels at the respective edges, the horizontal locking being active in the plane of coupled floor panels and perpendicular to the respective edges.
