Benefits of technology

[0018]An advantage of the present invention provides an embossed-in-registration flooring system including individual adjacent flooring panels having embossed-in-registration decorative motifs where at least one of a surface texture and decorative motif is substantially aligned between adjacent flooring panels.
[0019]Another advantage of the present invention provides an embossed-in-registration flooring system including interlocked flooring panels having embossed-in-registration decorative motifs where at least one of a surface texture and decorative motif is substantially aligned between adjacent flooring panels such that substantially continuous embossed-in-registration patterns are formed across the interlocked flooring panels.
[0020]Another advantage of the present invention provides an embossed-in-registration flooring system may, for example, include floo

Problems solved by technology

However, such traditional building and finishing flooring materials tend to be expensive to produce and install.
For example, while a solid wood floor has a highly valued luxurious appearance, the materials and labor required to install such floors can be prohibitively expensive.
However, such alternatives typically do not possess the realistic look and texture of the traditional building and finishing flooring materials.
Furthermore, while high quality HPL, DPL, and CPL boards may visually look like wood, their textures readily reveal that they are not.
One problem with most alternatives to traditional building and finishing flooring materials is that their surface textures do not match their decorative motifs.
Accordingly, the attractiveness of these alternative materials is significantly reduced.
While somewhat s

Example

[0040]Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0041]Turn now to FIG. 5 for a depiction of components of a direct pressure laminate product. Such products are typically fabricated from a base board 34, beneficially a medium or high density fiberboard or chipboard. One or more kraft paper sheets 36 (for clarity, FIG. 5 shows only one kraft paper sheet) impregnated with selected resins are located on and / or under the base board 34. A decorative cellulose paper sheet 38, about 0.15 mm thick and impregnated with a melamine solution, is on the base board 34. Over the decorative cellulose paper sheet 38 are one or more protective overlay sheets 30. The protective overlay sheet(s) are made of a highly resistant paper having corundum (AL2O3) impregnated in a melamine solution. It is also possible to include different papers between the decorative cellulose paper sheet and the base board.

Abstract

Laminated flooring panels include decorative motifs, mechanically embossed-in-registration surface textures, recessed perimeters, and locking mechanisms. The locking mechanisms facilitate the alignment of adjacent flooring panels. Adjacent flooring panels substantially aligned allow embossed-in-registration patterns to be substantially continuous across adjacent flooring panels. The recessed perimeter prevents the edges of the flooring panel from prematurely wearing. Individual flooring panels within the flooring system may comprise at least one partial sub-panel having a decorative motif and/or embossed surface texture that is complementary with a decorative motif and/or embossed surface texture of a neighboring partial sub-panel.
