Abstract

New direct laminated floor, of the kind that contain, on their surface, cellulose sheets impregnated in polymerizable resins, on which some characteristics have been drawn and where, once pressed and mechanised, the finished strips have an offset/sunk area on the peripheral edge and the optic/tactile texture of the surface corresponds and adapts to the characteristics drawn on the cellulose sheets. For application in the construction industry.

Claims (13)

1. A laminated floor board comprising a plurality of laminate layers including at least one cellulose sheet impregnated with a resin, said laminated floor board having a fiberboard core, wherein the laminated floor board includes a surface, the laminated floor board having both a perimeter area having an edge contour and an interior region, wherein the perimeter area is relieved such that at least a portion of the edge contour is below the interior region, wherein the interior region has a surface texture that varies in accordance with a visual pattern printed on the at least one cellulose sheet, wherein the visual pattern imitates another product and wherein all laminate layers in the interior region extend to and are included in the edge contour, wherein the portion of the edge contour below the interior region includes all laminate layers and a combined thickness of all laminate layers in the edge contour is less than a combined thickness of all laminate layers in the interior region.

2. A laminated floor board according to claim 1 , wherein the edge contour has a substantially linear shape from the interior region to the edge contour region.

3. The laminated floor board according to claim 1 , further comprising connection means.

4. The laminated product according to claim 3 , wherein the connection means is tongue and groove.

5. A laminated product that has been mechanically pressed to form individual units thereof, each individual unit including a plurality of laminate layers including at least one cellulose sheet and including a surface having an interior region and an edge contour region, wherein at least a portion of the edge contour region is below the interior region, wherein the interior region has a surface texture that varies in accordance with a visual pattern on the at least one cellulose sheet, wherein the visual pattern imitates another product and wherein all laminate layers in the interior region extend to and are included in the edge contour and wherein the portion of the edge contour below the interior region includes all laminate layers and a combined thickness of all laminate layers in the edge contour is less than a combined thickness of all laminate layers in the interior region.

6. A laminated product according to claim 5 , wherein the edge contour region has a substantially linear shape from the interior region to the edge contour region.

7. The laminated product according to claim 5 , further comprising a connection means.

8. The laminated product according to claim 7 , wherein the connection means is tongue and groove.

9. A laminated floor board, comprising;

a fiberboard having a predetermined area between side edges of said fiberboard core;

a plurality of compressed cellulose sheets over said fiberboard core, said compressed cellulose sheets including at least one resin-impregnated cellulose sheet having a visual design and covering an entirety of said predetermined area;

a perimeter region defined at a periphery of said predetermined area an upper surface of said compressed cellulose sheets being lower in the perimeter region than an upper surface of said compressed cellulose sheets in a majority of a remainder of the predetermined area; and

depressed deformities extending from the upper surface of said compressed cellulose sheets in the majority of the remainder of the predetermined area, said depressed deformities corresponding with a visual design.
