Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical sector of floor coverings and more particularly to a multilayer panel for producing a floor covering or the like.
  • the panel according to the invention has a slab or strip shape and has good mechanical and acoustic properties.
  • Floor coverings in the form of strips and slabs made from one or more layers of non-flexible or rigid PVC are known in particular, these being particularly advantageous because they are easier to transport than rolls of PVC flooring. Their installation is also simple and fast. They are therefore often used in renovation to cover existing floors. In order to improve the dimensional stability of this type of coating, a reinforcing glass veil is sometimes used embedded in the thickness of a layer of PVC.
  • this type of coating generally has poor acoustic properties, in particular in terms of sound insulation, sound when walking, shock absorption and comfort when walking.
  • One of the aims of the invention is therefore to propose a panel for the production of a floor covering having good performance in terms of walking sound and acoustic insulation while retaining good mechanical properties.
  • Another example is to provide a panel comprising male-female connecting or assembly means.
  • Another object of the invention is to propose a panel having improved shock absorption properties according to standard EN14808, in particular greater than 3%.
  • An object of the invention is also to provide a panel classified A or even B according to the NF S31 074 standard in terms of sound when walking, that is to say having an Ln,e,w value of less than 75db. This measurement is made according to the NF S31 074 standard, using a microphone measuring the standardized impact noise level in the room where the floor covering is laid.
  • An object of the invention is also to provide an acoustic panel having a weighted impact noise reduction ( ⁇ Lw) according to the ISO 10140-3 standard and the classification according to ISO 717-2:2013 greater than 12db.
  • ⁇ Lw weighted impact noise reduction

  • a gelled layer (2c) comprising a reinforcement reinforcement (2d) can be obtained from a composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer, for example PVC, a plasticizer, fillers and optionally stabilizers, lubricants, additives and a reinforcement reinforcement whose thickness is completely impregnated in the thickness of the reinforced layer.
  • a decorative layer (2b) can be printed on the upper face of the gelled layer (2c).
  • the back layer (4) may comprise means of assembly or male-female connection (6a, 6b).
  • the edges of the backing layer (4) of the panels according to the invention can be machined to present male-female assembly means (6a, 6b) making it possible to connect several panels together.
  • the male-female connection means comprise a first machining profile machined on one edge of a panel and configured to be assembled with a second machining profile machined on an opposite edge of an adjacent panel .
  • the panels thus obtained can thus have one or more generally two pairs of machining profile, each pair comprising a first and a second machining profile on two opposite edges of a panel.
  • the first and second machining profiles of each pair are not necessarily similar, in particular depending on the length of the edge considered and the desired assembly direction.
  • the assembly of the panels can in particular take place in a direction perpendicular to the ground in the case of so-called “vertical” assembly means, in a direction parallel to the ground in the case of so-called “horizontal” assembly means, or even in more complex directions, for example by rotation and/or translation of a male assembly means in a female assembly means.
  • Such assembly means are described in particular in the documents UK 2,256,023 , EP 1 026 341 , WO 2012/004701 or WO 2016/030627 .

  • the backing layer (4) comprises at least one non-flexible layer (4a) made from a thermoplastic material, for example from plasticized PVC.
  • a non-flexible layer (4a) has a flexural stiffness greater than the maximum flexural stiffness to satisfy International Standard ISO 24344:2008.
  • the backing layer (4) may comprise a rigid layer (4b) in order to improve the dimensional stability of the panel.
  • the back layer (4) comprises a rigid layer (4b) complexed between two non-flexible layers (4a, 4c).

  • This embodiment of the backing layer (4) in combination with a layer of non-woven fabric (3) according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a panel having acoustic properties and reduced weight.
  • the backing layer (4) of the floor covering (1) according to the invention also comprises a damping underlayer (7) intended to be in contact with the ground.
  • a damping underlayer (7) may in particular consist of a layer of polyurethane foam, a layer of rubber foam or even a layer of non-woven fabric.
  • a damping underlayer (7) generally has a thickness of between 0.5 mm and 3 mm. The advantage of such a damping underlayer is to provide the panel according to the invention with good acoustic insulation performance.
  • a damping underlayer (7) consisting of a layer of non-woven textile with a thickness of between 0.5 mm and 3 mm makes it possible to guarantee a good compromise between the acoustic insulation performance and the resistance of male means- assembly women (6a, 6b) to traffic and this for most of the machining profiles of these assembly means (6a, 6b). It may in fact happen that male-female assembly means (6a, 6b) used in combination with a shock-absorbing underlayer (7) made of non-woven fabric with a thickness greater than 3 mm disassemble or break under the effect traffic, the thickness of the non-woven fabric making the entire panel too flexible and increasing the stresses on the assembly means (6a, 6b). On the other hand, a thickness of damping underlayer (7) made of non-woven fabric of less than 0.5 mm can limit the sound insulation provided by the panel.
  • the damping underlayer (7) has a thickness of between 1 mm and 2.5 mm. This range of thicknesses makes it possible to reach a better compromise between the sound insulation performance and the resistance of the assembly means to traffic if the backing layer includes it, in particular sound attenuation according to the higher ISO 10140-3 standard. at 15dB.
  • the non-woven textile damping underlayer comprises a compressive strength greater than or equal to 20 Kpa, more preferably greater than or equal to 100 KPa.
  • the resistance to compression is an important property of the damping underlayer, this is decisive for maintaining good acoustic insulation over time provided by the underlayer while contributing to the resistance of the assembly means to traffic.
  • the compressive strength is measured according to the CEN / TS 16354:2012 standard which itself refers to the NF EN 826 standard of May 2013. This method corresponds to a compression measurement for a deformation of 0.5mm.
  • a shock-absorbing underlayer in non-woven textile comprising a compressive strength greater than or equal to 20 Kpa makes it possible to provide good acoustic insulation while contributing to the resistance of the assembly means to traffic.
  • the damping non-woven textile underlay has a compressive strength greater than or equal to 100Kpa in order to maintain its acoustic properties over time.
  • the shock-absorbing non-woven textile underlayer (7) comprises a compressive strength greater than or equal to 400 KPa. This makes it possible to achieve a better result both for the preservation of the acoustic insulation performance over time and the resistance of the assembly means to traffic. It is in fact observed that a compressive strength greater than or equal to 400 kPa allows the underlayer to retain its thickness despite repeated traffic of heavy loads and creates less stress at the level of the assembly means.
  • the assembly means having a so-called “vertical” assembly direction, namely perpendicular to the plane of the ground covered by the floor covering panel, present less risk of unclipping if they are used in combination with a non-woven textile underlayer comprising a compressive strength greater than or equal to 400KPa.
  • the damping underlayer (7) of non-woven textile comprises natural fibers such as cellulose fibers, cotton, linen, synthetic fibers, in particular polyester fibers, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, aramid, Nomex, polyethylene naphthalate, polypropylene or even synthetic mineral fibers such as glass fibers or basalt fibers.

  • the damping underlayer (7) made of non-woven textile has a ratio corresponding to its basis weight over its thickness greater than 200 g/m 2 per millimeter of thickness.
