Claim 0:
1. A floor panel assembly having a bottom surface and a top surface, the floor panel assembly comprising:
a first stack of structural layers adjacent the bottom surface;
a core layer, adjacent the first stack of structural layers, that absorbs shear stress;
a second stack of structural layers between the core layer and the top surface;
a heating layer between the core layer and the top surface;
a first woven impact layer between the heating layer and the top surface, the first woven impact layer comprising:
a woven thermoplastic fiber matrix, wherein the woven thermoplastic fiber matrix has a melting point between melting points between 150 and 400 degrees Celsius; and
a resin infiltrating the woven thermoplastic fiber matrix, wherein the resin is an epoxy, phenolic, bismaleimide, or cyanate ester resin,
wherein the first woven impact layer is woven in two dimensions having a plurality of x-fibers and a plurality of y-fibers,
wherein the plurality of x-fibers and the plurality of y-fibers alternate between high temperature thermoplastic fibers and metallic fibers such that the first woven impact layer comprises no more than 50% metallic fibers; and

a second impact layer between the first stack of structural layers and the core layer; and
a third stack of structural layers between the first woven impact layer and the second impact layer.
