Abstract
A floor element for covering a base in which the bearing surface consists of a wood fibre board which is covered with a transparent lacquer coating at least on the bearing surface. This floor element can be laid together with other such floor elements on a flat base to form a floor, by joining the elements together by the side edges. The floor element is very durable due to the fact that it undergoes less delamination under the effects of moisture and is more scratch-resistant and hard-wearing. Furthermore, the floor element has a very attractive, natural-looking appearance.
