Abstract

Floorboards for making a floating floor, which floorboards have a core having at least two layers of material arranged at different distances from the surface layer, which differ with respect to at least one of the parameters of composition of materials and material properties.

Claims (45)

1. A plurality of floorboards for making a floating laminate flooring, each of said floorboards comprising:

a core; and

a surface layer arranged on an upper side of the core,

wherein the core includes at least two layers,

a first of the core layers is closest to the surface layer and comprises HDF, and

a second of the core layers is next to the first layer and comprises a wood or wood-based material of lower density than said first core layer.

2. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the core includes a balancing layer.

3. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second layer comprises HDF, MDF or a particle board material.

4. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each floorboard includes a connector for connecting a second floorboard with a previously installed first floorboard by at least one of inward angling and snapping-in to a locked position.

5. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the surface layer comprises a thermosetting resin.

6. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second core layer comprises a wood fiber board material.

7. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the surface layer is a direct laminate.

8. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second core layer is glued to the first core layer.

9. A semimanufacture for manufacturing a plurality of floorboards for a floating laminate flooring, said semimanufacture comprising:

a core;

a surface layer arranged on an upper side of the core; and

a balancing layer arranged on a lower side of the core,

wherein the core includes at least two layers,

a first of the core layers is closest to the surface layer and comprises HDF, and

a second of the core layers is next to the first layer and comprises a wood or wood-based material of lower density than said first core layer.

10. The semimanufacture as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the second layer comprises HDF, MDF or a particle board material.

11. The semimanufacture as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the surface layer comprises a thermosetting resin.

12. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the second core layer comprises a wood fiber board material.

13. The semimanufacture as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the second core layer is glued to the first core layer.

14. A plurality of floorboards for making a floating veneer flooring, each of said floorboards comprising:

a core;

a surface layer arranged on an upper side of the core; and

a balancing layer arranged on a lower side of the core,

wherein the core includes at least two layers,

a first of the core layers is closest to the surface layer and comprises HDF, and

a second of the core layers is next to the first layer and comprises a wood or wood-based material of lower density than said first core layer.

15. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the surface layer comprises a thermosetting resin.

16. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the second core layer comprises HDF, MDF or a particle board material.

17. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the second core layer is glued to the first core layer.

18. A plurality of floorboards for making a floating wooden flooring, each of said floorboards comprising:

a core;

a surface layer of wood arranged on an upper side of the core; and

a balancing layer of wood arranged on a lower side of the core,

wherein the core includes at least two layers,

a first of the core layers is closest to the surface layer and comprises HDF, and

a second of the core layers is next to the first layer and comprises a wood or wood-based material of lower density than said first core layer.

19. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the surface layer comprises a thermosetting resin.

20. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the second core layer comprises a wood fiber board material.

21. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the second core layer comprises HDF, MDF or a particle board material.

22. The plurality of floorboards as claimed in claim 18 , wherein the second core layer is glued to the first core layer.
