Floor panel

A floor panel comprising:

• a substrate having a top side and a bottom side;
• and
• a top layer provided on the substrate;
• wherein the top layer consists of a printed thermoplastic film and a thermoplastic transparent or translucent layer provided on the printed thermoplastic film;
• wherein the substrate is a synthetic material board including a filler selected from the group consisting of chalk, wood and sand;
• wherein the substrate at least at two opposite edges includes coupling means provided in the synthetic material board;
• wherein the coupling means enable a locking with a similar floor panel at the respective edges;
• the locking preventing separation of the locked floor panels in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the edges using locking parts provided in each other whereby at least one pair of horizontally active locking surfaces is created, the horizontally active locking surfaces being oriented at an angle A of more than 90 degrees with the horizontal direction;
• the locking preventing separation of the locked floor panels in a vertical direction perpendicular to the plane of the locked floor panels;
• wherein the floor panel is rectangular and oblong;
• wherein the two opposite edges are the short pair of edges;
• wherein the substrate at the two longitudinal opposite edges includes longitudinal coupling means in the form of a tongue provided on one longitudinal opposite edge and having a lower side with a recess, and a groove provided on the other longitudinal opposite edge and having a lower groove lip with an upstanding part;
• and
• wherein, when two floor panels are coupled together at the longitudinal edges, the cooperation of the tongue and the groove creates
• (1) at least two pairs of vertically active locking surfaces that are formed from the material of the substrate, including a first pair of vertically active locking surfaces between an upper side of the tongue and a lower side of an upper groove lip, and a second pair of vertically active locking surfaces between the lower side of the tongue and an upper side of the lower groove lip, and
• (2) at least two pairs of horizontally active locking surfaces, including a first pair of horizontally active locking surfaces that are formed from the material of the substrate and positioned on the upstanding part of the lower groove lip and a surface of the recess, and a second pair of horizontally active locking surfaces positioned next to the floor surface, at the location where the top layers of the coupled floor panels flank each other, the second pair of horizontally active locking surfaces being at least partially formed from the material of the top layer.

A floor panel comprising:

• a substrate having a top side and a bottom side;
• and
• a top layer provided on the substrate;
• wherein the top layer includes a primer layer provided directly on the top side of the substrate, a print provided directly on the primer layer, and a thermoplastic transparent or translucent layer provided on the print;
• wherein the substrate is a synthetic material board including a filler selected from the group consisting of chalk, wood and sand;
• wherein the substrate at least at two opposite edges includes coupling means provided in the synthetic material boards
• wherein the floor panel is rectangular and oblong;
• wherein the coupling means is a tongue provided on one opposite edge and having a lower side with a recess, and a groove provided on the other opposite edge and having a lower groove lip with an upstanding part;
• and
• wherein, when two floor panels are coupled together at respective edges, the cooperation of the tongue and the groove creates
• (1) at least two pairs of vertically active locking surfaces that are formed from the material of the substrate, including a first pair of vertically active locking surfaces between an upper side of the tongue and a lower side of an upper groove lip, and a second pair of vertically active locking surfaces between the lower side of the tongue and an upper side of the lower groove lip, and
• (2) at least two pairs of horizontally active locking surfaces, including a first pair of horizontally active locking surfaces that are formed from the material of the substrate and positioned on the upstanding part of the lower groove lip and a surface of the recess, and a second pair of horizontally active locking surfaces positioned next to the floor surface, at the location where the top layers of the coupled floor panels flank each other, the second pair of horizontally active locking surfaces being at least partially formed from the material of the top layer.

A floor panel comprising:

• a substrate having a top side and a bottom side;
• and
• a top layer provided on the substrate;
• wherein the top layer is based on thermoplastic material and includes a print overlaid with a transparent or translucent layer;
• wherein the substrate is a mineral board having an average density of more than 450 kilograms per cubic meter and a thickness between 5 and 12 millimeters;
• wherein the substrate at least at two opposite edges includes coupling means provided in the mineral board;
• wherein the floor panel is rectangular and oblong;
• wherein the coupling means is a tongue provided on one opposite edge and having a lower side with a recess, and a groove provided on the other opposite edge and having a lower groove lip with an upstanding pan;
• and
• wherein, when two floor panels are coupled together at respective edges, the cooperation of the tongue and the groove creates
• (1) at least two pairs of vertically active locking surfaces that are formed from the material of the substrate, including a first pair of vertically active locking surfaces between an upper side of the tongue and a lower side of an upper groove lip, and a second pair of vertically active locking surfaces between the lower side of the tongue and an upper side of the lower groove lip, and
• (2) at least two pairs of horizontally active locking surfaces, including a first pair of horizontally active locking surfaces that are formed from the material of the substrate and positioned on the upstanding part of the lower groove lip and a surface of the recess, and a second pair of horizontally active locking surfaces positioned next to the floor surface, at the location where the top layers of the coupled floor panels flank each other, the second pair of horizontally active locking surfaces being at least partially formed from the material of the top layer.
