Claims28
A set of essentially identical moisture proof floorboards each comprising a front face and a rear face extending in a horizontal plane, a core, a connector arranged at least at two opposite edges for connecting one of the floorboards with another floorboard in a vertical and/or horizontal direction, and a resilient surface layer,
- wherein the resilient surface layer comprises an elastic reinforcement layer, thereby providing elastic resilience to the resilient surface layer, and
- wherein at least one edge of each of the floorboards comprises a decorative groove in the elastic reinforcement layer with a bottom which is essentially parallel to the front face, said decorative groove being visible when one of the floorboards is connected with another floorboard by said connector,
- wherein the bottom of the decorative groove is disposed within the elastic reinforcement layer.
A set of essentially identical moisture proof floorboards each comprising a front face and a rear face extending in a horizontal plane, a core, a connector arranged at least at two opposite edges for connecting one of the floorboards with another floorboard in a vertical or horizontal direction, and a resilient surface layer,
- wherein the resilient surface layer comprises at least a transparent wear layer of a moisture proof material and an elastic reinforcement layer, wherein the elastic reinforcement layer is the layer of the resilient surface layer positioned closest to the core of each floorboard, thereby providing elastic resilience to the resilient surface layer, and
- wherein at least one edge of each of the floorboards comprises a decorative groove in the resilient surface layer with a bottom which is essentially parallel to the front face, said decorative groove being visible when one of the floorboards is connected with another floorboard by said connector,
- wherein the bottom of the decorative groove is disposed within one of the transparent wear layer or the elastic reinforcement layer.
A set of essentially identical moisture proof floorboards each comprising a front face and a rear face extending in a horizontal plane, a core, a connector arranged at least at two opposite edges for connecting one of the floorboards with another floorboard in a vertical or horizontal direction, and a resilient surface layer,
- wherein the resilient surface layer comprises an elastic reinforcement layer, thereby providing elastic resilience to the resilient surface layer, and
- wherein at least one edge of each of the floorboards comprises a decorative groove in the elastic reinforcement layer with a bottom which is essentially parallel to the front face, said decorative groove being visible when one of the floorboards is connected with another floorboard by said connector.
