Method of making a floor panel

A method of making a floor panel, comprising:

• providing an adhesive on a release member;
• laminating or marrying the release member to a rigid bottom layer of the floor panel such that the adhesive is between the release member and the rigid bottom layer, the rigid bottom layer having a first length and a first width;
• removing a first portion of the release member to expose an area of the adhesive;
• and
• adhering a top layer of the floor panel to the area such that the top layer is offset with respect to the rigid bottom layer in a direction of length and width and a marginal end portion of a top surface of the rigid bottom layer and a marginal end portion of the bottom surface of the top layer is exposed, the top layer having a top surface with a visible decorative pattern, the top layer having a second length and a second width, the second length of the top layer being substantially the same as the first length of the rigid bottom layer and the second width of the top layer being substantially the same as the first width of the rigid bottom layer, wherein a ratio of a thickness of the top layer to a thickness of the rigid bottom layer is about 5 or greater.
