The invention relates to composite floorings, more particularly to a soundproof composite flooring of magnesium sulfate and solid wood. The soundproof composite flooring includes a paint layer, a solid wood layer, a magnesium sulfate substrate layer, and a soundproof layer which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom; the solid wood layer and the magnesium sulfate substrate layer are bonded via AB glue by cold pressing or via a hot-melt adhesive; a plurality of cylindrical holes are arranged along edges of an upper surface of the magnesium sulfate substrate layer, and a buffer structure is arranged in each of the cylindrical holes; the buffer structure includes a rubber base which fits a bottom of the cylindrical holes, and a support disk which is opposite to the solid wood layer. The rubber base and the support disk are connected by a rubber column.

A shock absorbing mat/tile comprises a body having a generally planar, major top surface and an opposite bottom surface and a plurality of shock absorbing members depending from the bottom surface. At least one of the shock absorbing members has at least one relief formation formed therein configured to accommodate lateral expansion of the shock absorbing member during axial compression thereof.

The invention relates to a tile, in particular a carpet tile. The invention also relates to the use a tile according to the invention as floor tile, wall tile, or ceiling tile. The invention further relates to a tile covering consisting of a plurality of tiles according to the invention. The invention additionally relates to a carpet covering consisting of at least one carpet tile according to the invention.

The present disclosure provides an artificial floor. The artificial floor comprises a plate body with a pad portion on a surface thereof. The pad portion contacts with a subfloor when the plate body is disposed on the subfloor. The plate body could be various kinds of the simulated floor such as linen, wood, or stone. The simulated floor is poor in wear resistance. The vibration or shaking during transportation may cause wearing between the simulated floors so as to damage the surfaces of the simulated floors. The subfloor may have an uneven surface, which may affect the surface flatness of the plate body disposed on the subfloor. Therefore, the pad portion of the plate body could be used as a cushion for the transportation process to protect the collision and wearing between the plate bodies. The pad portion could also be deformed locally to close the surface of the subfloor.

The invention relates to composite floorings, more particularly to a soundproof composite flooring of magnesium sulfate and solid wood. The soundproof composite flooring includes a paint layer, a solid wood layer, a magnesium sulfate substrate layer, and a soundproof layer which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom; the solid wood layer and the magnesium sulfate substrate layer are bonded via AB glue by cold pressing or via a hot-melt adhesive; a plurality of cylindrical holes are arranged along edges of an upper surface of the magnesium sulfate substrate layer, and a buffer structure is arranged in each of the cylindrical holes; the buffer structure includes a rubber base which fits a bottom of the cylindrical holes, and a support disk which is opposite to the solid wood layer. The rubber base and the support disk are connected by a rubber column.

The present disclosure describes a sound attenuating flooring system. The sound attenuating flooring system has a subfloor, a sound attenuating material overlaying and contacting only a portion of the subfloor, and an overlayment. The sound attenuating material has a first surface and second surface. The first surface is defined by a plurality of outwardly projecting hollow protrusions. The second surface is defined by a plurality of open recesses corresponding to the plurality of outwardly projecting hollow protrusions. The overlayment overlays the second surface of the sound attenuating material.

Sound absorbing or attenuating laminate flooring materials are provided, which are directed to be used in the production of floor covering, floor panels, furniture panels, cabinets, counter-tops and wall panels. As well, the method for producing such products are provided. In particular, abrasion resistant panels, with a laminated structure, created by forming an assembly which consists of laminating a heat-activated resin impregnated paper wear layer, a decorative layer with printed graphics or a wood veneer decorative layer, a medium density (MDF) or high-density (HDF) natural fiber-based core and a resin impregnated paper balancing layer. To achieve sound absorbing and/or attenuating properties, any or all paper layers may be pre coated with an additional flexible elastomeric coating, film or material prior to assembly of the panel, or the natural fiber core panel may be coated with a flexible elastomeric coating, film or material prior to assembly with the papers.

A floor panel includes a substrate, a decorative layer and a wear layer. The decorative layer is positioned between the substrate and the wear layer. At least one of the substrates, the decorative layer and the wear layer has a thermoplastic synthetic material. The floor panel further includes a foamed backing layer attached to a side of the panel opposite to the wear layer. The foamed backing layer has a density of at least 120 kg/m3 and a compressive strength value as determined in accordance with ASTM D 3575-91 (25%) of at least 210 kPa.

A glueless dustless composite flooring material system providing PVC-based flooring having waterproof layers providing different qualities of hardness, wear-resistance, sound deadening, and decorative patterns, avoiding the use of moisture-susceptible compressed cellulose-based filler, with layers fused together, avoiding the manufacturing complexity and delamination risks of using glue or adhesive, with a quickly-cured, UV-cured top coating providing long-lasting high performance and shortening and simplifying the manufacturing, which can be done in a sheet-form, essentially continuous-run manner, with an ability to quickly and simply change the optional design printing and texturing produced, and having an optional underlayment layer.

An impact damping mat comprises a plurality of layers arranged in a stacked formation. The stacked formation has a total thickness of no greater than 4 7/16 inches. The plurality of layers cooperate to provide the impact damping mat with at least one of a coefficient of restitution no greater than 30% and a selected sound reduction characteristic. The selected sound reduction characteristic can be a reduction of a maximum sound level of at least 5 dB from 40 to 63 Hz octave bands and at least 13 dB at and above 80 Hz octave bands normalized to a conventional inch rollout rubber flooring product.
