Abstract
A multilayer floor covering comprises a resilient top covering (12) for providing a walking surface, a sheet-type sensor layer (16) arranged underneath the resilient top covering, a first adhesive layer (14) attaching the resilient top covering to the sheet-type sensor layer and a second adhesive layer (18) for attaching the sheet-type sensor layer to an underlying subfloor (20). To facilitate access to the sheet-type sensor layer, the first adhesive layer (14) is configured to provide lower resistance to peeling than the second adhesive layer (18). The invention further proposes a kit of parts for achieving such a floor covering as well as a method for installing the floor covering.
Claims13
A multilayer floor covering, comprising
- a resilient top covering for providing a walking surface
- a sheet-type sensor layer arranged underneath the resilient top covering
- a first adhesive layer attaching the resilient top covering to the sheet-type sensor layer and a second adhesive layer for attaching the sheet-type sensor layer to an underlying subfloor, the first adhesive layer providing a lower resistance to peeling than the second adhesive layer.
A method of installing a multilayer floor covering, the method comprising:
- coating a subfloor with a second adhesive layer;
- laying a sheet-type sensor layer on the subfloor coated with the adhesive layer;
- coating a top surface of the sheet-type sensor layer with a first adhesive layer;
- laying a resilient top covering on the top surface of the sheet-type sensor layer so as to providing a walking surface;
- wherein the first adhesive layer attaching the resilient top covering to the sheet-type sensor layer is configured and arranged so as to provide lower resistance to peeling than the second adhesive layer attaching the sheet-type sensor layer to the underlying subfloor.
