Abstract
The invention relates to a decorative panel, in particular a floor panel, the panel comprising a core layer, the core layer comprising an upper core surface and a bottom core surface and at least two pairs of opposing side edges, a decorative layer and a conductive layer, wherein the conductive layer is at least partially enclosed between the core layer and the decorative layer.
Claims20
A decorative panel, the panel comprising:
- at least one core layer, the at least one core layer comprising an upper core surface and a bottom core surface and at least two pairs of opposing side edges;
- at least one thermoplastic decorative layer;
- and
- at least one conductive layer, wherein the at least one conductive layer is at least partially enclosed between the at least one core layer and the at least one thermoplastic decorative layer and wherein the at least one conductive layer is positioned within 0.7 mm from a top surface of the panel;
- wherein at least part of at least one side edge of the at least one core layer comprises at least one conductive structure which at least extends between the at least one conductive layer and the bottom core surface of the at least one core layer.
