Abstract:
A floor panel has a rectangular and oblong shape, and includes a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate and forming a decorative side of the floor panel. The top layer is composed of a print provided on a carrier sheet and a transparent thermoplastic layer situated above the print. The substrate has a thickness from 2 to 10 millimeter and forms at least half of the thickness of the floor panel. The substrate is a polyurethane-based substrate and the transparent thermoplastic layer is polyurethane-based. The floor panel has a length of more than 1.1 meters and has a plurality of reinforcing layers situated outside the center line of the substrate. A reinforcing layer may be provided in combination with the substrate and the top layer.

Claim (Index 20):
A floor panel comprising:\n a substrate; and a top layer located above the substrate; wherein the substrate includes PVC material; wherein the substrate has a thickness of 2 to 10 millimeters; wherein the substrate forms at least half of the thickness of the floor panel; wherein the substrate includes a plurality of embedded glass fiber layers situated on both sides of the center line of the substrate; wherein the top layer includes a back layer, a printed synthetic film located above the back layer and a transparent or translucent thermoplastic layer located above the printed synthetic film; wherein the back layer includes PVC with plasticizers and fillers; wherein the transparent or translucent thermoplastic layer has a thickness of 1 millimeter or less; wherein the transparent or translucent thermoplastic layer includes PVC material and a percentage of plasticizer of 5 to 75 percent by weight; wherein the PVC material of the substrate is harder than the PVC material of the transparent or translucent thermoplastic layer; wherein the top layer has a thickness of 0.5 to 3 millimeters; wherein the floor panel is rectangular and oblong and includes a pair of long edges and a pair of short edges; wherein the floor panel includes first mechanical coupling parts at the pair of long edges and second mechanical coupling parts at the pair of short edges; wherein the first mechanical coupling parts allow a horizontal and vertical locking of two of such floor panels using a turning movement along the respective long edges; wherein the first mechanical coupling parts include a tongue and a groove; wherein the tongue and the groove are substantially responsible for the vertical locking; and wherein the tongue and the groove include locking parts substantially responsible for the horizontal locking.
