Floor panel for forming a floor covering
A floor panel for forming a floor covering comprises a substrate consisting of at least two substrate layers differing in density and, on at least one pair of opposite edges, is provided with coupling parts of the so-called push-lock type. Vertically active locking surfaces, where they cooperate in the coupled condition of two of such floor panels, define a tangent line which is horizontal or does not deviate more than 50 degrees from the horizontal. The locking surfaces are situated closer to the upper side of the first substrate layer than to the lower side of the first substrate layer.
Floor panel
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.
FLOOR PANEL FOR FORMING A FLOOR COVERING
A floor panel contains opposite edges that contain coupling parts to link two floor panels. These coupling parts contain locking planes: first and second locking planes on the first edge with an enclosed angle between 90 and 175; and third and fourth locking planes on the second edge with an enclosed angle between 90 and 175. The first locking plane is closer to the top of the floor panel than the second locking plane. The angle with the surface of the floor panel of the first locking plane is smaller than the second locking plane. The angle with the floor plane surfaces of the third locking plane is smaller than that of the fourth locking plane. The second locking plane is provided for interaction with the fourth locking plane of a coupled panel. The first locking plane is provided for interaction with the third locking plane of a coupled panel.

Panel, covering and method for installing such panels
A panel for forming a covering, more particularly a floor panel for forming a floor covering, which at least at two opposite edges, comprises coupling parts arranged to couple two of such panels to each other by means of a downward movement of one panel in respect to the other. The coupling parts form a first locking system arranged to lock in the plane of the panels and perpendicularly to the edges, as well as form a second locking system, which effects a locking perpendicularly to the plane of the panels. At least one of the coupling parts is formed at least partially in soft PVC (polyvinyl chloride), as well as at least partially formed from a milled profiled part of this soft PVC.
