Abstract:
An anchor sheet for forming a cushioning support below a decorative covering comprising a laminate having an upper layer of a relatively thin flexible rigid sheet material having on its upper layer a plurality of hooks comprising one half of a hook and loop attachment system and a bottom layer of a relatively resilient cushioning material attached to the upper layer, the laminate having sufficient rigidity, thickness and mass that when combined with an overlying decorative covering attached to the upper layer by means of loops comprising the complementary second half of a hook and loop attachment system, that such combination is stable against buckling and atmospheric forces so as not to require substantial attachment to the underlying substrate for stability, in which the upper layer is comprised of a first hookless layer and a second hooked film layer placed on the hookless layer so as to leave an area along at least two opposed edges of the upper layer free of hooks for seam-joining by pressure sensitive adhesion tape with an abutting anchor sheet.
