Abstract:
Floorboards for installation of floors in herringbone pattern are formed with two opposite sides inverted relative to each other. The invention further comprises methods for producing and making floorings comprising such floorboards, as well as fitting pieces and sets of parts for such floorings.
Abstract:
A floor element, in particular a wooden floor element, comprising a top and a bottom surface as well as a first and a second lateral side, said first side being provided with a tooth integrally formed with said floor element, said second side being provided with a groove, said tooth and said groove extend substantially over a whole length of lateral sides and are dimensioned in such a manner, that for adjacently placed floor elements the tooth of the one floor element and the groove of the other floor element mutually engage for providing a toothed engagement, and wherein said tooth starts from said top surface and is inclined over an angle situated between 20 and 70°, preferably between 35 and 55° with respect to said top surface, said tooth having a length measured as from said top surface of at least one third of the thickness of said floor element.
Abstract:
A strip for forming floor coverings, the strip being constructed in such a manner as to present an upwardly facing flat surface lying in a first horizontal plane and a downwardly facing structurally flat surface lying in a second horizontal plane, the strip being provided along at least two opposing edges with tongue and groove coupling elements formed integrally with the strip and cooperating with each other, the tongue and the groove present a plane of symmetry substantially inclined to the horizontal plane.
Abstract:
Flooring material including floor boards (1) with an essentially square, rectangular or rhomboidal shape. The floor boards (1) are provided with edges (2), a horizontal lower side (5) and a horizontal decorative upper surface (3). The floor boards (1) are provided lower joining lips (10) at two adjacent edges (2) while the two remaining edges (2) are provided with upper joining lips (20). The lower joining lips (10) are provided essentially vertical lower lip surfaces 911) arranged parallel to the closest edge (2). The lower surfaces (11) are intended to interact with mainly vertical upper lip surfaces (21) arranged on the upper joining lips (20). Two joined adjacent floor boards (1) are hereby locked together in a horizontal direction. The joining lips (10 and 20 respectively) are furthermore provided with one or more heels (31) intended to snap join with recesses (32) adapted thereto which, by being provided with essentially horizontal locking surfaces, limits vertical movement between two joined adjacent floor boards (1).
Abstract:
A floor tile, in particular a laminate panel, parquet element, veneer floor element, ready-to-lay parquet element or such like comprises an edge profile on at least two opposite edges in the form of a modified groove and tongue joint for the purpose of connecting adjacent tiles, with a coincident arrangement consisting of one groove and one tongue on each of at least two edges, of which the tongue on one edge of a first tile and the groove in an associated edge of a second tile rise obliquely upwards from the bottom of the tile. The edge profiles are contrived directly in the support material of the floor tile, the groove in the first tile is disposed directly above its tongue and the lower wall of this groove falls off towards the back end of the groove by the same degree as the tongue on the first tile rises upwards. The upper wall of the groove in the first tile runs essentially parallel to the plane of the tile, and the tongue on the second tile matches the shape of the groove in the first tile by having a top surface that runs essentially parallel to the plane of the tile and a bottom surface that falls off towards the end of the tongue.
Abstract:
A floor tile, in particular a laminate panel, parquet element or such like, with an edge profile on at least two opposite edges in the form of a modified groove and tongue joint, is designed in such a way that there is a tongue 20, 30 and a groove 22, 26 on each of the said two edges. The edge profiles are contrived so that the adjacent tiles can be locked in place in relation to each other in both the vertical and horizontal directions. Tongue 20 on the first tile 10 and groove 22 in the second tile 12 rise upwards from the bottom of the tiles at an angle. Accordingly, the bottom wall of groove 26 in the first tile and the bottom outer surface of tongue 30 on the second tile 12 are also inclined at an angle, while the top surfaces of the groove and tongue are oriented horizontally or parallel to the plane of the tile.
Abstract:
A floor tile, in particular a laminate panel, parquet element, veneer floor element, ready-to-lay parquet element or such like comprises an edge profile on at least two opposite edges in the form of a modified groove and tongue joint for the purpose of connecting adjacent tiles, with a coincident arrangement consisting of one groove (22,122,26,126) and one tongue (20,120,30,130) on each of at least two edges, of which the tongue on one edge of a first tile and the groove in an associated edge of a second tile rise obliquely upwards from the bottom of the tile. The edge profiles are contrived directly in the support material of the floor tile, the groove (26,126) in the first tile is disposed directly above its tongue (20,120) and the lower wall of this groove falls off towards the back end (28,128) of the groove by the same degree as the tongue (20,120) on the first tile rises upwards. The upper wall of the groove (26,126) in the first tile (10,110) runs essentially parallel to the plane of the tile, and the tongue (30,130) on the second tile (12,112) matches the shape of the groove (26,126) in the first tile by having a top surface that runs essentially parallel to the plane of the tile and a bottom surface that falls off towards the end of the tongue (30,130).
