Abstract
Floor panel, whereby this floor panel (1) includes a decor (8), as well as a top layer or laminate layer (9) on the basis of synthetic material (10), and whereby the decorative side (16) of the floor panel (1) imitates a wood pattern, wherein the floor panel (1), at its upper surface, has zones (22-23) of different gloss degrees, which extend over the upper surface as a function of the imitated global wood pattern.
Claims48
Floor panel, comprising a decor, as well as a top layer or laminate layer on the basis of synthetic material, and wherein the decorative side of the floor panel imitates a wood pattern, wherein the floor panel, at its upper surface, has zones of different gloss degrees, which extend over the upper surface as a function of the imitated global wood pattern.
Floor panel, comprising a decor, as well as a top layer on the basis of synthetic material, and wherein the decorative side of the floor panel imitates a wood pattern, wherein the floor panel, at its upper surface, has an imitation of one or more wood silver grains, which is realized by the inclusion application of one or both of the following technical characteristics:
- a region with a gloss degree altered in respect to the surrounding region thereof, preferably an increased gloss degree;
- a region in which a general pattern of embossments imitating wood pores is locally interrupted.
Floor panel, whereby this floor panel comprises a decor, as well as a top layer or laminate layer on the basis of synthetic material, wherein the floor panel, at least at two opposite sides or edges is provided with coupling parts allowing two of such floor panels to cooperate with each other at these sides, and wherein the floor panel, at the aforementioned sides, at the location of the aforementioned top layer or laminate layer, shows upper edges intended to adjoin against each other when two of such floor panels cooperate with each other, wherein the aforementioned upper edges, at least at the height of the lateral edge of the laminate layer, are coloured.
Method for manufacturing a floor panel, wherein the floor panel comprises a decor, as well as a top layer or laminate layer on the basis of synthetic material, wherein the floor panel, at least at two opposite sides or edges, is provided with coupling parts enabling two of such floor panels to cooperate with each other at these sides, comprising providing a coloration for the floor panels, at one or more upper edges, at least at the location of the top layer or laminate layer, by spraying a hardening substance onto the these upper edges, by means of an inkjet printer supply system.
