Decorative embossed surface coverings having platey material and inlaid appearance.

摘要

A decorative surface covering (10) has a transparent or translucent layer (16) containing a plately material (18) that is reoriented at two or more different angles with respect to the surface of the layer (21) to provide a three-dimensional effect to the decorative surface covering. The covering can be chemically embossed to further enhance the three-dimensional effect. Portions of the layer containing the platey material can be masked to produce an inlaid or inset effect.
