Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to flooring panels for use in commercial, industrial or residential environments. More particularly, this invention relates to flooring panels having an aesthetically pleasing appearance provided by texturing imparted to the surface of the panels. In certain embodiments, the texture is aligned in registration with a visible graphic design displayed by the panel to further enhance the aesthetic appearance of the flooring panel.
  • Fiberboard core laminates used to manufacture flooring products include a plurality of layers, including a fiberboard or organic composite core section, a decorative layer, and a hard and flat protective wear layer of resin-impregnated melamine material.
  • the wear layer of the laminate in such systems is typically clear, such that the aesthetic appearance, including any color and/or printed image of the decorative layer, is not obscured by the wear layer.
  • the top surface of the wear layer is typically flat, such that the flooring panel exhibits a two-dimensional appearance to the onlooker.
  • the decorative layer may exhibit an appearance that simulates "natural" flooring materials such as hardwood or ceramic tile
  • the typical laminate wear layer simply allows an unobstructed view of the laminate decorative layer, and does not add to or enhance the aesthetic properties of the flooring panel.
  • Some prior art laminate flooring systems have included barely-perceptible indentations imparted to the laminate wear layer to interrupt the aforementioned two- dimensional appearance. Those systems feature shallow indentations of a depth not exceeding 0.25 millimeters ("mm"). Further, the location of individual indentations or the "pattern" of indentations provided in prior art systems are unrelated and unlinked to the aesthetic image provided by the decorative laminate layer. Thus, any indentation pattern in prior art laminate wear layers is not related in any way to the selected aesthetic appearance of the decorative laminate layer.
  • the present invention in one embodiment, is a decorated floor panel including a core having a top surface and an opposite bottom surface.
  • a decorative layer is adhered to the top surface of the core and, in one embodiment, substantially covers the core.
  • a desired aesthetic appearance such as a hardwood or ceramic tile appearance, is displayed by the decorative layer of the laminate.
  • a wear layer is provided over the decorative layer, substantially covering the decorative layer and providing protection from the ambient environment.
  • the wear layer has an exposed wear surface with depressions therein of a variable depth below the wear surface, the depressions being arranged to display a desired texture pattern.
  • the present invention is a decorated floor panel as set forth above, wherein the depressions in the wear surface have a depth of at least 0.50 mm below the nominal surface of the wear layer.
  • the depressions may all be of a constant depth or, alternatively, of a variable depth as exists for the embodiment discussed above.
  • the present invention is a decorated floor panel in which the decorative layer is provided with a decorative pattern.
  • a plurality of depressions imparted to the wear layer form a desired texture pattern tliereon.
  • the relative orientation of the texture pattern and the decorative pattern is controlled such that the depression pattern and the texture pattern are substantially in registration, creating an enhanced, three-dimensional aesthetic appearance to the decorated floor panel.
  • the present invention is a floor system comprised of a plurality of individual decorated floor panels assembled together and interlocking with each other by tongue and groove engagement, which is not visible after the floor panels are assembled.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the decorated floor panel according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 1A is an enlarged fragmentary view of an embodiment of the decorated floor panel of Fig. 1, the texture pattern being represented out of registration with the decorative pattern.
  • Fig. IB is an enlarged fragmentary view of an embodiment of the decorated floor panel of Fig. 1, the texture pattern being represented in registration with the decorative pattern.
  • Fig. 2 is a section taken along lines 2-2 in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective cut-away view of an embodiment of the decorated floor panel according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a group of decorated floor panels according to the present invention assembled to form a portion of a floor system.
  • Fig. 5 is a section taken along lines 5-5 in Fig. 4.
  • the present invention in one embodiment, is a decorated floor panel 10.
  • the panel 10 is manufactured from a laminated material having a fiberboard core.
  • the floor panel 10 of the invention may be manufactured from other materials, including other laminates such as high pressure laminate ("HPL"), which have been marketed under such trade names as Formica and Pergo. Other materials may also be utilized to construct the floor panel, such as other natural, recycled or synthetic materials.
  • the fiberboard core laminate illustrated in Fig. 3 includes a plurality of discrete layers, including a wear layer 12, a decorative layer 14, a core 16 and a backing layer 24.
  • the illustrated core 16 is preferably manufactured of fiberboard, such as that marketed by companies including Louisiana Pacific, Georgia Pacific, Temple Inland and Weyerhauser.
  • the presently preferred fiberboard core material is formed of high density fiberboard, which is a hardwood/softwood fiber compound compressed at 900 - 960 kg/m 3 .
  • the preferred fiberboard core material is usually available in 4 or 5 feet widths and lengths of up to 18 feet.
  • cores 16 of different materials or having different properties may be utilized, including other timber-based products, such as plywood, chipboard or particleboard.
  • the core 16 has a top surface 18 and an opposite bottom surface 20. When installed, the bottom surface 20 of the core 16 faces the underlying subfloor (not shown).
  • Fig. 3 illustrates an embodiment having an optional backing layer 24 adhered to the bottom surface 20 of the core 16. Because the illustrated fiberboard core is not completely impervious to moisture and contaminants, such a backing layer 24 may be provided to improve moisture resistance of the floor panel 10. Additionally, the backing layer 24 may improve structural integrity of the floor panel 10 by increasing overall thickness and reducing the warp and wear tendencies of uncoated core material. In one embodiment, a clear backing layer 24 of melamine, reinforced with aluminum oxide (AlO 2 ) and impregnated with a thermosetting resin, is utilized.
  • AlO 2 aluminum oxide
  • an optional layer may be interposed between the bottom surface 20 of the core 16 and the backing layer 24.
  • the optional layer is constructed of paper.
  • the optional layer may display a printed image, such as a trademark, product number or name, or any other desired marking or designation.
  • backing layers 24 may be constructed of other materials providing suitable moisture resistance, such as phenolic resins or other natural, synthetic or recycled materials.
  • a decorative layer or "decor” layer 14 is adhered, joined, or coupled to the top surface 18 of the core 16 by a chemical adhesive, mechanical connection, or other means known in the art.
  • the decorative layer 14 is a sheet of paper that substantially covers the top surface 18 of the core 16.
  • the top and bottom surfaces 18, 20 of the core 16 are covered by the decorative layer 14 and the backing layer 24, respectively.
  • the visible side of the decorative layer 14, i.e., the side not adhered to the core 16, is capable of displaying a desired aesthetic appearance, such as a color or pattern. Virtually any color or pattern may be imparted to the decorative layer 14.
  • currently contemplated patterns include simulated hardwood flooring and simulated ceramic tile, each in a variety of styles, shades and colors.
  • simulated hardwood styles include pine, heart pine, cherry, maple, beech, oak and mahogany.
  • Simulated tile appearances are contemplated in a range of styles, including a variety of marble and ceramic tile colors, including groutlines in ceramic tile styles.
  • Other currently contemplated patterns include floral patterns, abstract designs, geometric designs and company logos. Other patterns may be selected by the manufacturer or user according to aesthetic preference or design objectives.
  • the decorative layer 14 is manufactured from paper that may be impregnated with a thermosetting resin and provided with the desired aesthetic color and/or pattern.
  • other materials may make up the decorative layer 14, such as real wood veneer, pulverized stone, or other materials.
  • the decorative layer 14 comprises whatever ink, dye, pigment or other marking substance applied to the core 16.
  • the decorative appearance may be provided by etching, burning or otherwise marring the top surface 18 of the core 16. Any such treatment that supplies such a decorative appearance on the top surface 18 of the core 16 is contemplated to comprise the decorative layer 14 as defined herein.
  • a wear layer 12 is provided over the decorative layer 14, substantially covering the decorative layer 14 and providing protection from the ambient environment.
  • the wear layer 12 is adhered, joined, or coupled to the decorative layer 14, just as the decorative layer 14 is joined to the underlying core 16.
  • the wear layer 12 is comprised of a melamine sheet, reinforced with aluminum oxide (AlO 2 ) and impregnated with a thermosetting resin. It is preferred, though not required, that the material selected to comprise the wear layer 12 be the same or similar material as that selected to comprise the backing layer 24, if a backing layer 24 is utilized.
  • a layer of varnish or a UV curable scratch resistant coating may be used in place of the melamine sheet to comprise the wear layer 12.
  • other materials providing suitable moisture resistance and resilience to loads and wear to which a floor is subjected may be utilized, such as phenolic resins or other natural, synthetic or recycled materials.
  • the wear layer 12 is substantially transparent, so that the aesthetic appearance of the decorative layer 14 is substantially unobstructed by the wear layer 12. It has been determined that the inclusion of a wear layer 12 as the outermost layer of the laminate generally improves the resistance of the floor panel 10 to wear, including staining or fading of the aesthetic image imparted to the decorative layer 14.
  • further aesthetic effect may be achieved by imparting depressions of a constant or variable depth to the wear surface 26, arranged to display a desired texture pattern.
