Method for manufacturing floor panels, of the type, which comprises a top layer having a composition based on a synthetic material and which, at least at two opposite sides, has profiled edge areas that comprise at least coupling parts, comprising the steps:
- starting from a board-shaped material, forming the floor panels at least partially by means of a laser treatment of said board-shaped material.
Method for manufacturing floor panels of the type comprising a core, a decor, as well as a top layer having a composition based on a synthetic material, comprising carrying out at least a treatment step wherein, by means of a heat source, a thermal treatment is given to at least one edge of the laminate panels, said thermal treatment causing a discoloration of the respective edge.
Method for manufacturing floor panels comprising a core, a decor, and a top layer having a composition based on a synthetic material, comprising carrying out a treatment step, whereby, at least partially by means of a laser treatment, a relief is applied on the upper surface of the floor panels.
Method for manufacturing floor panels comprising a core, a decor, and a top layer having a composition based on a synthetic material, comprising at least the following treatment steps:
- producing a press plate that is provided with a relief,
- forming the floor panels, by applying said press plate to the panels to produce, by means of said relief, embossed portions in the upper surface of the floor panels, wherein said relief in the press plate is formed at least by a laser treatment.
