Definitions

  • This invention relates to floor panels and a method for manufacturing floor panels.
  • the invention relates to floor panels substantially consisting of a substrate and a top layer provided on this substrate, such as a veneer layer, cork layer, vinyl layer, a wooden top layer or a laminate top layer.
  • the invention relates to floor panels having a synthetic material-based top layer comprising a printed decor.
  • Said decor may be printed directly on the substrate, whether or not by the intermediary of primer layers.
  • the decor can also be provided on a material sheet, such as a paper sheet, which is taken up in said top layer.
  • the top layer may also comprise a protective layer, which is situated above the printed decor and which comprises, for example, wear-resistant particles, such as aluminum oxide. It is not excluded that this protective layer also comprises a material sheet, such as a paper sheet.
  • Such laminate floor panel may be manufactured, for example, by means of a DPL (Direct Pressure Laminate) or HPL (High Pressure Laminate) technique.
  • one or more material sheets provided with resin are brought together with the substrate into a press device, where, under the influence of increased pressure and temperature, they are connected to each other as well as to the substrate.
  • the top layer is separately formed on the basis of two of more material sheets provided with resin, before the thus obtained top layer is provided on the substrate, for example, by gluing them on the substrate.
  • floor panels may be intended for forming a floating floor covering and that during installation, they are mutually coupled at their edges, for example, by means of mechanical coupling parts, whether or not made in one piece with the floor panel, which provide for a mutual locking of the floor panels in horizontal as well as in vertical direction, for example, as described in the international patent applications WO 94/26999 , WO 97/47834 , WO 01/98603 and WO 01/96688 .
  • they may also be coupled to each other at their edges by means of a glued into each other traditional tongue and groove connection.
  • such floor panels may be provided with a chamfer, such as a bevel, at one or more edges, in the proximity of the upper side thereof.
  • a chamfer such as a bevel
  • such chamfer may or may not extend from the upper side of the floor panel into the substrate.
  • Printing more particularly printing by means of a transfer printing procedure, offers the advantage in respect to lacquering the surface of the chamfer that a motif can be smoothly realized in the decorative covering, that colors matching the floor panel can be realized on the chamfer, that a smoother and cleaner production process can be obtained, that a less rough finish of the respective surface can be achieved and that other technical effects, such as gloss, can be achieved.
  • Disadvantageous with transfer printing is that it is difficult to manufacture the herewith applied matching transfer foils in limited numbers. With relatively small series of floor panels, the minimum order quantities of such transfer foils easily exceed the quantities required to this aim. Hereby, large surpluses are produced and the price of such small series may increase considerably.
  • Directly printing the surface of a chamfer such as presented in WO 2007/054812 , has the disadvantage that a well-covering colored decorative layer is difficult to realize with a light color.
  • Such decorative layer is desirable, for example, when the floor panel itself or the top layer of this floor panel is of a relatively light color or tint.
  • One or more preceding treatments of the surface of the chamfers is desirable in order to obtain a good covering in such case.
  • Directly printing the surface of a chamfer has the advantage that it entails a high complexity in the manufacturing process. So, adjustments of the ink colors may be necessary when another series of floor panels is printed.
  • the present invention aims at a floor panel with one or more chamfers which are covered with an alternative decorative covering.
  • a solution is offered for one or more of the disadvantages of the floor panels of the state of the art.
  • the invention according to its first aspect, relates to a floor panel, wherein the floor panel at one or more edges, in the proximity of the upper side, is provided with a chamfer, wherein the surface of said chamfer is provided with a decorative covering, with as a characteristic that said decorative covering comprises at least a first decorative layer and a second decorative layer, which decorative layers are provided on top of each other, wherein the first decorative layer remains at least partially visible through the second decorative layer provided thereupon.
  • the first decorative layer as well as the second decorative layer have to contribute to the final appearance of the decorative covering of the surface of the chamfer.
  • said chamfer relates to an inclination or a so-called bevel, although according to the invention other forms of chamfers are not excluded.
  • such chamfer is formed by removing a material portion from the upper surface of the floor panel at one or more of the aforementioned edges, as is known as such from WO 01/96688 .
  • they may also be obtained in another manner, for example, by impressing, deforming or reshaping the upper surface, or by folding this upper surface.
  • Such techniques for forming chamfers are known as such, for example, from WO 2006/066776 , WO 2006/088417 , WO 2006/058548 or WO 2006/090287 .
  • the floor panel of the invention allows achieving various new effects.
  • the invention is applied, amongst others, for floor panels substantially consisting of a substrate and a top layer provided on this substrate, and primarily for the floor panels where the respective chamfer extends from the upper side across the top layer into the substrate.
  • a decorative covering on the substrate of the chamfer is most desirable.
  • substrate as such may consist of one or several layers or other portions.
  • the substrate may be built up of any materials.
  • the substrate substantially may consist of real wood, plywood, particle board, MDF or HDF (Medium Density Fiberboard or High Density Fiberboard), filled synthetic material, such as WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) or purely synthetic material, such as polyvinylchloride or polyethylene.
  • the floor panel relates to a laminate floor panel
  • this preferably concerns a laminate floor panel manufactured by means of the above-mentioned DPL technique.
  • the laminate top layer of such floor panels is thin, for example, less than 0.3 mm thick.
  • a possible chamfer preferably extends to beneath the laminate top layer, for example, into the underlying substrate.
  • a board material such as MDF, HDF or particle board is used.
  • the floor panel of the invention relates to a floor panel representing, at least at its upper side, a wood motif.
  • a wood motif representing, at least at its upper side, a wood motif.
  • This may concern, for example, a floor panel with a veneer top layer, a wooden top layer, or a floor panel having, at least at its upper side, a printed decor representing a wood motif, as this may be the case with a laminate floor panel.
  • other motifs such as stone motifs or fantasy motifs, are not excluded.
  • said second decorative layer is made translucent or transparent for the major part of said surface, such that the appearance of the major part of this surface can be determined, at least in part, by said first decorative layer.
  • said first decorative layer can show the basic color or the basic colors of the surface, whereas the second decorative layer, for example, superposes a motif or pattern hereon.
  • Said second decorative layer may be realized according to a plurality of possibilities.
  • said second decorative layer preferably has at least a portion in the form of a motif, such as a wood motif or portions of a wood motif, more particularly wood pores and/or wood nerves.
  • This portion is preferably made opaque or barely transparent, however, may also be translucent.
  • the motif or pattern of the second decorative layer is made more finely than a possible motif in said first decorative layer.
  • the first decorative layer may represent the global color of the respective wood species
  • the second decorative layer is transparent or translucent for the major part thereof, however, has a motif of, for example, wood pores or wood nerves.
  • the motif of the second decorative layer is made, at least for the major part thereof, if not completely, opaque or barely transparent. However, it is not excluded that this motif comprises translucent portions.
  • the basic color in the first decorative layer may be obtained by means of solidified substance, such as by means of lacquers, paints or inks
  • the motif of the second decorative layer may be obtained by a substantially transparent or translucent transfer print, which, as aforementioned, represents a barely transparent or opaque portion in the form of said motif.
  • a second decorative layer which is provided by means of transfer printing, offers still further advantages. So, for example, dirt will accumulate less on such transfer print than on a solidified substance, such as lacquer; such transfer print may have a protective function, such as wear resistance, in respect to the underlying layers; by means of such transfer print, gloss or relief may be imparted to the underlying layers.
  • said second decorative layer preferably has at least one colored translucent portion.
  • Such translucent portion may be applied for influencing at least locally the color of the underlying first decorative layer.
  • the appearance of the same underlying first decorative layer can be influenced by the selection of the second decorative layer.
  • said second decorative layer has at least a translucent or transparent portion, wherein this portion imparts a matted or glossy effect to the underlying second decorative layer.
  • said second decorative layer may consist of a print which is provided by means of transfer printing, wherein this print substantially consists of the aforementioned not or barely transparent portion and wherein the first decorative layer then, instead of there through, remains at least partially visible in between this not or barely transparent portion.
  • this may relate to a transfer print wherein only a print in the form of wood pores is deposited above said first decorative layer, without herein depositing transparent or translucent portions on this first decorative layer.
  • said floor panel forms part of a series of floor panels intended for forming a floor covering, wherein the color and/or the motif of said decorative covering in its entity, thus, at least the color and/or the motif of the first and/or the second decorative layer, is adapted to the tint and/or the motif of the individual respective floor panel from said series.
  • Such adaptation may be performed solely by means of said first decorative layer.
  • a series of floor panels is intended which represent the same global motif and which are intended to be taken up in the same floor covering, such as, for example, floor panels representing naturally varnished oak.
  • said adaptation relates to an adaptation to individual floor panels, which form part of the same series of floor panels and which thus possibly form a somewhat lighter or somewhat darker plank in the same global motif.
  • Said adaptation can be controlled by a detection of the tint of the individual floor panels or on the basis of information about this tint obtained in another manner, for example, by reading a code which is present at or on these floor panels.
  • Floor panels with a chamfer wherein the decorative covering of the chamfer is adapted to the tint of the general decor of the individual floor panels, are known as such from WO 2007/054812 , where also methods are presented for controlling said adaptation by means of information in respect to the tint and/or the motif of the respective floor panels.
  • said second decorative layer consists substantially or entirely of a print provided by means of transfer printing.
  • the present invention allows applying one and the same transfer foil in different series of floor panels in that the underlying first decorative layer can provide for its matching.
  • transfer printing it is possible to provide a motif or pattern on the surface of the respective chamfer in a simple manner.
  • this adaptation can be performed entirely by means of the underlying first decorative layer and the motif of the second decorative layer can remain unaltered.
  • said first decorative layer substantially consists of a solidified substance, such as paint, lacquer, ink or the like.
  • a color can be provided in a simple manner, which color, as aforementioned, can be adapted according to the tint of the floor panel.
  • a global color can be provided in a simple manner, which color, as aforementioned, possibly may be adapted according to the tint of the floor panel.
  • the possible adaptation to the global tint of the individual floor panels does not necessarily have to be an adaptation by which exactly the same tint is obtained on the chamfer, but may be restricted to a choice from two or more tints, for example, one lighter and one darker tint, which then respectively matches several individual floor panels with a lighter or darker tint from the same series.
  • said first decorative layer is substantially free from motifs or patterns.
  • this relates to a first decorative layer of uniform or quasi uniform color or tint, although a certain variation in the color, whether or not intended, is not excluded.
  • said first decorative layer and/or said second decorative layer cover at least substantially the entire said surface of the chamfer. It is possible that the decorative layer concerned extends beyond this surface, towards the underside as well as to the upper side of the floor panel.
  • the first and/or second decorative layer may also be provided locally, which means that these layers do not necessarily have to cover the entire height and/or length of the surface of the chamfer.
  • the present invention also aims at an alternative method for manufacturing floor panels with chamfers, which, according to preferred embodiments thereof, allows a smooth and/or economical production of such floor panels.
