Abstract
A set of essentially identical floorboards each including a front face and a rear face extending in the horizontal plane, a core, and a surface layer, a mechanical locking system is arranged at least at two opposite edges for connecting a floorboard with an adjacent floorboard in a horizontal and a vertical direction, said mechanical locking system being configured for connecting the floorboard with the adjacent floorboard by vertical folding, wherein one of said opposite edges is provided with a horizontally extending protrusion at an upper edge, and wherein said protrusion is configured to overlap a surface groove at an upper edge of the other of said opposite edges, such that two connected and adjacent floorboards have upper overlapping edges.

A set of essentially identical floorboards each comprising a front face and a rear face extending in the horizontal plane, a core, and a surface layer, a mechanical locking system is arranged at least at two opposite edges for connecting a floorboard with an adjacent floorboard in a horizontal and a vertical direction, said mechanical locking system being configured for connecting the floorboard with the adjacent floorboard by vertical folding, the vertical folding being where a long side edge of a first floorboard is pressed against an upper part of a second long side edge of a second floorboard, and when the first floorboard is angled down a short side edge is folded down into a connection with a side edge of an adjacent, third floorboard,
- wherein one of said opposite edges is provided with a horizontally extending protrusion at an upper edge, and
- wherein said protrusion is configured to overlap a surface groove at an upper edge of the other of said opposite edges, such that two connected and adjacent floorboards have upper overlapping edges.
A set of essentially identical floorboards each comprising a front face and a rear face extending in the horizontal plane, a core, and a surface layer, a mechanical locking system is arranged at least at two opposite edges for connecting a floorboard with an adjacent floorboard in a horizontal and a vertical direction, said mechanical locking system being configured for connecting the floorboard with the adjacent floorboard by vertical folding,
- wherein one of said opposite edges is provided with a horizontally extending protrusion at an upper edge,
- wherein said protrusion is configured to overlap a surface groove at an upper edge of the other of said opposite edges, such that two connected and adjacent floorboards have upper overlapping edges, and
- wherein the overlapping edges are provided with a hook shaped connection,
- wherein the mechanical locking system comprises a displaceable tongue on one of said opposite edges and is displaceable relative to said one opposite edge, the displaceable tongue configured to cooperate with a tongue groove for connecting the floorboards in the vertical direction,
- wherein the mechanical locking system comprises a locking groove, at one of said opposite edges, cooperating with a locking element, at the other of said opposite edges, for connecting said floorboard with said adjacent floorboard in the horizontal direction,
- wherein the locking element is provided at the same edge as the displaceable tongue,
- wherein the floorboard comprises a core of a wood-based material,
- wherein the core comprises a material selected from HDF, MDF, particleboard or plywood,
- wherein the surface layer comprises a plastic material.
A set of essentially identical floorboards each comprising a front face and a rear face extending in the horizontal plane, a core, and a surface layer, a mechanical locking system is arranged at least at two opposite edges for connecting a floorboard with an adjacent floorboard in a horizontal and a vertical direction, said mechanical locking system being configured for connecting the floorboard with the adjacent floorboard by vertical folding,
- wherein one of said opposite edges is provided with a horizontally extending protrusion at an upper edge,
- wherein said protrusion is configured to overlap a surface groove at an upper edge of the other of said opposite edges, such that two connected and adjacent floorboards have upper overlapping edges, and
- wherein a displaceable tongue is provided on one of said opposite edges and is displaceable relative to said one opposite edge.
