Floor panel and method for manufacturing a floor panel
A floor panel including at least one substrate and a top layer, where the substrate includes at least one first layer of a first thermoplastic material and a second layer of a second thermoplastic material. The second layer is adjacent to a first side of the first layer and the second layer provides the floor panel with its underside. The first layer is characterized by a first colour with saturation value S 1 in the HSL colour space and the second layer is characterized by a second colour with saturation value S2 in the HSL colour space, where S 1 is less than S2.
1. A floor panel having and underside and an upper side, said floor panel comprising at least a top layer and a substrate, wherein said top layer provides the floor panel with said upper side, wherein the substrate comprises at least one first layer of a first thermoplastic material and a second layer of a second thermoplastic material, wherein the second layer is adjacent to a first side of the first layer and the second layer provides the floor panel with said underside;
wherein the first layer has a first colour with a saturation value S1 and a luminance value L1 in a Hue-Saturation-Luminance (HSL) colour space, and the second layer has a second colour with a saturation value S2 and a luminance value L2 in the HSL colour space;
wherein S1 is less than S2 and S2 is in a range of 15 to 85;
wherein L2 is in a range of 20 to 75.
2. The floor panel of claim 1 , wherein L2 is at least 40.
3. The floor panel of claim 2 , wherein an absolute value of a difference between S1 and S2 is greater than or equal to 25.
4. The floor panel of claim 3 , wherein said second colour has a hue angle H2 in said HSL colour space corresponding to a red colour.
5. The floor panel of claim 3 , wherein said first colour has a hue angle H1 in said HSL colour space and said second colour has a hue angle H2 in said HSL colour space, wherein a smaller angle between H1 and H2 is greater than or equal to 50°.
6. The floor panel of claim 3 , wherein said second layer is foamed.
7. The floor panel of claim 6 , wherein said second layer is fastened to said first layer with a glued joint.
8. The floor panel of claim 1 , wherein said first thermoplastic material is a polyvinyl chloride material provided with at least 30 phr of fillers.
9. The floor panel of claim 8 , wherein said fillers comprise calcium carbonate.
10. The floor panel of claim 1 , wherein the floor panel is provided, on at least two opposite edges, with coupling means that allow two of such floor panels to be coupled together, wherein on the edges in question, locking is brought about at least in a vertical direction perpendicular to a surface of the panels, wherein at least one of the edges is provided with a groove, which is located entirely above the second layer.
11. A floor panel having and underside and an upper side, said floor panel comprising at least a top layer and a substrate, wherein said top layer provides the floor panel with said upper side and comprises a decoration layer and a transparent or translucent wearing layer applied on said decoration layer, wherein the substrate comprises at least one first layer of a first thermoplastic material and a second layer of a second thermoplastic material, wherein the second layer is adjacent to a first side of the first layer and the second layer provides the floor panel with said underside; said decoration layer being located between said layers of thermoplastic material and said upper side of said floor panel, wherein said first thermoplastic material is a polyvinyl chloride material provided with at least 30 phr of fillers;
wherein said second layer is fastened to said first layer with a glued joint;
wherein the floor panel is provided, on at least two opposite edges, with coupling means that allow two of such floor panels to be coupled together, wherein on the edges in question, locking is brought about at least in a vertical direction perpendicular to a surface of the panels, wherein at least one of the edges is provided with a groove, wherein said groove is located entirely above the second layer;
wherein the first layer has a first colour with a saturation value S1 and a luminance value L1 in a Hue-Saturation-Luminance (HSL) colour space, and the second layer has a second colour with a saturation value S2 and a luminance value L2 of at least 40 in the HSL colour space;
wherein S1 is less than S2 and S2 is in a range of 15 to 85;
wherein an absolute value of a difference between S1 and S2 is greater than or equal to 25.
12. The floor panel of claim 11 , wherein said wearing layer comprises polyvinyl chloride and has a thickness between 0.15 and 0.75 millimeter.
13. The floor panel of claim 11 , wherein said second colour has a hue angle H2 in said HSL colour space corresponding to a red colour.
14. The floor panel of claim 11 , wherein said first colour has a hue angle H1 in said HSL colour space and said second colour has a hue angle H2 in said HSL colour space, wherein a smaller angle between H1 and H2 is greater than or equal to 50°.
15. The floor panel of claim 14 , wherein said fillers comprise calcium carbonate.
16. The floor panel of claim 11 , wherein said second layer is foamed.
