Abstract: A floor covering has a decorative surface lying in a plane of the floor covering and includes rectangular floor panels, with each floor panel having: a core and a decorative layer on the core. At least a first pair of opposite edges is provided with mechanical coupling means so a plurality of similar panels can be coupled to one another. The coupling means provides for an interlocking in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the floor covering, and a direction perpendicular to the coupled edges and parallel to the plane of the floor covering. The floor covering includes a plurality of alignment elements with each edge of the floor panel and at least partially defining a hollow receiving cavity below the decorative layer and having a shape such that, when a first edge of a second floor panel is coupled to a second edge of a first floor panel.

Abstract: A method is provided for manufacturing a decorative panel. The panel includes a substrate and a decorative top layer. The substrate is a mineral containing substrate and/or a thermoplastic material containing substrate. The substrate and/or decorative top layer is obtained from a larger material by means of a dividing operation. The panel includes at at least one and preferably at both upper edges of a pair of opposite side edges a lower edge area. The lower edge area is obtained prior to or during said dividing operation. Decorative panels are obtainable through such a method.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing rectangular panels, wherein the panels have a substrate and a top layer. The panels are provided with a first pair of opposite edges, namely a first edge, and an opposite second edge. The method includes the steps of applying a liquid on at least a part of the first edge. The liquid penetrates the respective edge to a certain depth. The method further includes applying varnish on at least a part of the first edge while the liquid on the first edge is still wet.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a folded panel including the following steps: providing a longitudinal recess at the rear side, such that at the front side between remaining panel sections on both sides of the recess a flexible transition section remains, bending the panel sections relative to each other and applying an adhesive in the recess. Before the panel sections are bent relative to each other, a template is inserted into the recess.

Abstract: A floor panel for forming a floor covering consisting of floor panels which are provided with coupling parts on at least one pair of edges. The coupling parts are made mainly of the material of the floor panel, and the coupling parts are configured such that two of such floor panels can be installed and locked together at the pair of edges via a downward movement and/or via the fold-down principle.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a floor covering product comprises at least a first step of forming a single- or multi-layered substrate by consolidating synthetic material-based starting material. The method comprises a second step after the first step, which is performed in line with the first step. The at least one continuous film is laminated onto the substrate, and the laminating is performed by means of a belt press.

Abstract: A panel including at least a substrate of thermoplastic material and a top layer with a printed decor and a translucent or transparent wear layer. The substrate has a thickness larger than one half of the thickness of the entire panel, and the substrate at least includes two layers, where the two layers each include thermoplastic material. A first one of the two layers further includes at least 60 percent by weight of filler materials and a second one of the two layers includes less fillers or is not filled, and is situated above the first one of the two layers.
