Disclosed is a composite floor, comprising a wear-resistant layer, a polyvinyl chloride patterned fabric layer, a base material layer, a balance layer, and a muting layer that are sequentially arranged, the wear-resistant layer being a melamine wear-resistant paper layer. The composite floor has a clear and vivid pattern, and the wear and scratch resistance is far better than that of a conventional floor, the manufacturing process comprising laying, hot pressing, demolding and tempering steps. The manufacturing process has simple steps, and the obtained composite floor has high dimensional stability and good wear and scratch resistance.

A technique comprising: providing an assembly temporarily adhered on opposite sides to respective carriers by respective adhesive elements, the assembly including at least one plastic support sheet; heating the assembly while mechanically compressing the assembly between the carriers, wherein the strength of adhesion of one of said adhesive elements to the respective carrier and/or to the assembly is partially reduced during said heating of the assembly under mechanical compression; and wherein the strength of adhesion of the said adhesive element to the carrier and/or to the assembly is further reducible by further heating the said adhesive element after partially or completely relaxing the pressure at which the assembly is mechanically compressed between the two carriers.
