1. A method for manufacturing floor panels, wherein the floor panels have at least a substrate and a top layer including at least one material sheet, wherein the method comprises at least the following steps:
providing a basic board of the material of the substrate;
composing a stack which comprises at least the basic board and the at least one material sheet;
pressing said stack in a heated press, wherein said at least one material sheet forms a top layer adhered onto the substrate;
subdividing the pressed whole into semi-finished panels, from which said panels can be formed;
finishing the semi-finished panels to form said floor panels;
wherein the at least one material sheet consists of material strips situated next to each other;
wherein the substrate substantially consists of an HDF board having an average density of more than 800 kilograms per cubic meter;
wherein the floor panels, at one or more edges, are provided with a lower edge region, wherein the HDF board forms at least an upper surface and the lower edge region of the substrate;
wherein the top layer is adhered to the substrate without any intermediate glue or resin layers, the top layer adhering to the upper surface and the lower edge region.
