Covering for floors, walls or ceilings, and method for obtaining a covering

1. Covering including a floor covering, wall covering or ceiling covering, said covering comprising:

a surface layer ( 1 )), said surface layer ( 1 ) further comprising a decorative layer having a decorative pattern and a wear layer on top of the decorative layer;

a substrate layer ( 2 ) attached to said surface layer ( 1 ), said substrate layer ( 2 ) optionally comprising one or more reinforced thermoplastic layers;

a backing layer ( 3 ) on a bottom side ( 2 b ) of said substrate layer ( 2 ), opposite to said surface layer ( 1 );

a textile layer ( 4 ) attached to a bottom side ( 3 b ) of said backing layer ( 3 ), optionally through a contact layer;

wherein said covering further comprises a PVC coating ( 5 ) applied to a bottom side ( 4 b ) of said textile layer ( 4 ), and

wherein the coating ( 5 ) penetrates at least 50% of a thickness of the textile layer ( 4 ).

2. Covering according to claim 1 , whereby said coating ( 5 ) comprises a thermoplastic material.

3. Covering according to claim 2 , whereby said coating ( 5 ) further comprises additives selected from a group comprising plasticizers, stabilizers, fillers, colorants, biocides and combinations thereof.

4. Covering according to claim 1 , whereby said textile layer ( 4 ) is comprised of two synthetic materials, whereby said two synthetic materials have a different melting point.

5. Covering according to claim 4 , whereby said textile layer ( 4 ) comprises a sheath-core type bicomponent nonwoven material.

6. Covering according to claim 5 , whereby said bicomponent nonwoven material comprises a core of polyester and a sheath of polyamide.

7. Covering according to claim 1 , whereby said backing layer ( 3 ) has a basis weight of 100 gsm to 750 gsm.

8. Covering according to claim 1 , whereby said coating ( 5 ) has a basis weight of 100 gsm to 1000 gsm.

9. Covering according to claim 1 , whereby said textile layer ( 4 ) has a basis weight of 50 gsm to 2500 gsm.

10. Method for producing a covering including a floor covering, wall covering or ceiling covering, the method comprising the steps of:

producing a substrate layer ( 2 ) comprising one or more thermoplastic layers, and optionally, one or more reinforced thermoplastic layers;

attaching a surface layer ( 1 ) to a top side ( 2 a ) of said substrate layer ( 2 ), whereby the surface layer ( 1 ) comprises a decorative layer having a decorative pattern and a wear layer on top of the decorative layer;

attaching a top side ( 3 a ) of a backing layer ( 3 ) to a bottom side ( 2 b ) of said substrate layer ( 2 );

attaching a top side ( 4 a ) of a textile layer ( 4 ) to a bottom side ( 3 b ) of said backing layer ( 3 ), optionally, through a contact layer,

wherein a PVC coating ( 5 ) is applied to a bottom side ( 4 b ) of said textile layer ( 4 ); and

wherein the coating ( 5 ) penetrates at least 50% of a thickness of the textile layer ( 4 ); thereby obtaining a covering.

11. The method according to claim 10 , whereby the entirety of surface layer ( 1 ), substrate layer ( 2 ), backing layer ( 3 ) and textile layer ( 4 ) is cured for a period of between 15 seconds and 30 minutes at a temperature of between 120° C. and 240° C., before applying said coating ( 5 ) to the bottom side ( 4 b ) of said textile layer ( 4 ).

12. The method according to claim 10 , whereby said coating ( 5 ) is solidified to said entirety of surface layer ( 1 ), substrate layer ( 2 ), backing layer ( 3 ) and textile layer ( 4 ) by a heat treatment.

13. The method according to claim 10 , whereby said coating ( 5 ) is applied to the bottom side ( 4 b ) of said textile layer ( 4 ) prior to attaching the top side ( 4 a ) of said textile layer ( 4 ) to the bottom side ( 3 b ) of said backing layer ( 3 ).

14. The method according to claim 10 , whereby said covering is cut into panels and whereby a bevel is created simultaneously on the panels on both sides of the cut.
