In a rectangular hard floor panel (1) for forming a floor covering, having a first pair of opposite sides and a second pair of opposite sides, defining the edges of the panel, it is foreseen that the floor panel, at each of said first and second pairs of opposite sides, shows the following features: the panel is provided with coupling parts substantially in the form of a tongue (31) and a groove (32), said groove being bordered by an upper lip (42) and a lower lip (43), whereby these coupling parts allow that two of such panels can be coupled to each other; the coupling parts are provided with integrated mechanical locking elements (33,34) which prevent the drifting apart of two coupled floor panels (1) in a direction perpendicular to the related edges and parallel to the underside of the coupled floor panels; said lower lip (43) extends beyond the upper lip (42); said locking elements define contact surfaces (38,39), respectively at said lower lip (43) and said tongue (31), acting as locking surfaces which in coupled condition of two of such panels (1) prevent said drifting apart of the panels; the tongue and groove, seen in cross-section, define a central line (M1); and said locking element (34) provided at the lower lip (43) is located completely below said central line (M1). |
