Abstract
Flooring material comprising board shaped floor elements with a rectangular oblong shape, which are provided with edges, a lower side and a decorative upper surface. The flooring material further includes joining profiles separate from the basic material of the floor elements. The floor elements may become fixed adjacent to each other, wherein the fixation is effective both horizontally and vertically. The vertical fixation is obtained through at least one of the joining profiles, which is not involved in the horizontal fixation.

Flooring material comprising board shaped floor elements with a rectangular oblong shape and a thickness of between 5 and 15 millimeters, the floor elements are made of a basic material and comprise edges, a lower side and a decorative upper surface,
- wherein the flooring material further comprises joining profiles, the joining profiles being separate from the basic material of the floor element,
- wherein the edges and joining profiles allow for two of the floor elements to become fixed adjacent to each other at their respective adjacent edges, wherein the fixation is effective both horizontally and vertically,
- wherein the respective adjacent edges comprise each a respective groove, the respective grooves being positioned at least partially opposite each other and defining a common cavity, wherein the vertical fixation is obtained through at least one of the joining profiles, the at least one joining profile being located in the cavity and being shorter than the respective adjacent edges, wherein the at least one joining profile is not involved in the horizontal fixation.
