摘要 |
<p>The invention provides a new floor covering panel (10) and floor covering system in which the floor covering panels (10) include first and second generally planar surfaces (11, 12), first and second side edges (13, 14) containing first and second complementary coupling members (20, 22), respectively, and a barrier composition (60) selectively applied to at least a portion of at least one of the first and second coupling members (20, 22) for providing a moisture barrier to prevent water penetration below the first surface (11) of the floor covering panel (10). The barrier composition (60) may be applied to at least one of the first or second coupling members (20, 22) during the floor covering manufacturing process.</p> |
