A flooring panel comprising:
- a decorative veneer layer and a core layer, the decorative veneer layer and the core layer having respective top surfaces and opposed bottom surfaces, wherein the opposed bottom surface of the decorative veneer layer overlies the top surface of the core layer, wherein the flooring panel comprises:
- a first pair of opposing side edges extending between the opposed bottom surface of the core layer and the top surface of the decorative veneer layer;
- and
- a second pair of opposing side edges that extend between the opposed bottom surface of the core layer and the top surface of the decorative veneer layer,
- wherein one or more of the top surface of the decorative veneer layer, the opposed bottom surface of the core layer, the first pair of opposing side edges, and the second pair of opposing side edges further comprises a 100% solid UV cured moisture barrier composition at a quantity from about 0.1 g to about 5.0 g per 2.67 sq.ft of the flooring panel.

A method comprising:
- forming a flooring panel by applying a decorative veneer layer to a core layer, the decorative veneer layer and the core layer having respective top surfaces and opposed bottom surfaces, such that the opposed bottom surface of the decorative veneer layer overlies the top surface of the core layer and such that a first pair of opposing side edges extends between an opposed bottom surface of the core layer and a top surface of the decorative veneer layer and a second pair of opposing side edges extends between the opposed bottom surface of the core layer and the top surface of the decorative veneer layer;
- applying a 100% solid UV curable moisture barrier composition to one or more of the top surface of the decorative veneer layer, the opposed bottom surface of the core layer, the first pair of opposing side edges, and the second pair of opposing side edges at a quantity from about 0.1 g to about 5.0 g per 2.67 sq.ft of the flooring panel;
- and
- curing the applied 100% solid UV curable moisture barrier composition, thereby producing the 100% solid UV cured moisture barrier at a quantity from about 0.1 g to about 5.0 g per 2.67 sq.ft of the flooring panel.
