Claims19
A flooring panel for a transport vehicle, comprising a wood core, said wood core including a plurality of wooden strip elements bonded together and having a top surface and a bottom surface, reinforced composite layer applied to at least one of said top surface or said bottom surface, and an exterior polymeric coating envelope substantially covering an entire outer surface of the panel, whereby water penetration is inhibited.
A flooring panel for a transport vehicle, the flooring panel comprising:
- (a) a wood core including a plurality of wooden strip elements bonded together, said wood core having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- (b) an exterior polymeric coating envelope substantially covering said top surface;
- and
- (c) a granular constituent in the envelope for providing an anti-slip surface on said top surface, whereby water penetration into said wood core through said top surface is inhibited.
A transport vehicle having a payload receiving deck including at least one flooring panel, a flooring panel including:
- (a) a wood core including a plurality of wooden strip elements bonded together, said wood core having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- (b) an exterior polymeric coating envelope substantially covering said top surface;
- and
- (c) a granular constituent in the envelope for providing an anti-slip surface on said top surface, whereby water penetration into said wood core through said top surface is inhibited.
A transport vehicle having a payload receiving deck including at least one flooring panel, the flooring panel including:
- (a) a wood core including a plurality of wooden strip elements bonded together, said wood core having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- (b) an exterior polymeric coating envelope substantially covering said top surface;
- and
- (c) said penetration constituent in the envelope for penetrating said top surface of said wood core top reinforce the bond between the envelope and said wood core, whereby a wear-resistant surface on said top surface is provided and water penetration into said wood core through said top surface is inhibited.
