Abstract: A tile of synthetic material which simulates a hard surface is provided. The tile includes tapered peripheral edges which define rounded upper edges of the tile. The tile includes a core part which has two layers of substantially-inextensible, flexible, synthetic material between which is interposed an intermediate separating layer. A facing sheet simulating a hard surface tile is provided on the upper face of the tile. The facing sheet is applied to the core part and has rounded marginal portions which extend to cover marginal portions of the core part and define the rounded upper edges of the tile. The marginal portions of the facing sheet cover less than the total thickness of the core part.
