Floor panel

Abstract

The invention concerns a floor panel (1) comprising a carrier panel portion (2) that is provided at a top side with a duty layer arrangement (3), which duty layer arrangement (3) is provided with a decorative representation, wherein provided in the duty layer arrangement (3) is an anti-wear means (66), and edge locking profiles (F1, F1′, F2, F2′) at at least two mutually opposite edges of the floor panel (1), wherein at least one edge locking profile (1) has at least one elastically bendable locking means (V), wherein the decorative representation is covered with a transparent lacquer layer (65) and that the anti-wear means (66) is provided in the lacquer layer (65).

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention concerns a floor panel comprising a carrier panel portion that is provided at a top side with a duty layer arrangement, which duty layer arrangement has a decorative representation, wherein an anti-wear means is provided in the duty layer arrangement, and edge locking profiles at at least two mutually opposite edges of the floor panel, wherein at least one edge locking profile has at least one elastically bendable locking means. [0003] 2. Description of the Background [0004] A floor panel of the general kind set forth is known from FIG. 3 of WO 01 / 96689 A1. The known floor panel has a groove-and-tongue connection with an undercut configuration that is intended to prevent joined floor panels from moving away from each other. The walls of the groove project from the edge of the floor panel by differing distances. That groove wall, which projects further from the edge of the floor panel, forms the elastic...

Benefits of technology

[0035] The effect of the intermediate joint can be further improved by the provision of a coating on the surface of the groove of the imitation intermediate joint. The visual appearance of the coating can be matched to the decorative layer of the duty layer arrangement. A possible way of achieving that provides that the groove is produced prior to application of the decorative layer and, in an additional working step, after application of the duty layer arrangement with the decorative layer, the duty layer arrangement in the region of

Problems solved by technology

Because of the particular structure of the wood imitation by means of synthetic resin, the construction of the known floor panel is complicated and costly to produce.

The use of the resin-impregnated layers is costly and, as is generally known, problematical for the reason that resin impregnation of the printed paper with a hot liquid wax causes a growth in the length and the width of the paper.

The complexity involved in the processing of resin and paper increases the reject rate in the manufacture of the resin-impregnated printed paper.

Papers that are less than or exceed the target size cannot be used for the production of a floo
