Abstract: Disclosed is a floor covering, in which a surface material such as wood, Korean paper, textile fabric, and thermosetting resin sheet is attached to a surface of a perforated high density PVC sheet. Shrinkage or expansion differences between the surface material and the PVC sheet are removed because multiple holes of the perforated high density PVC sheet offset shrinkage or expansion of the PVC sheet, thereby cracks or curling of the floor covering are prevented and the floor covering can have a smooth appearance.
Abstract: Disclosed is a floor-covering material, in which a phenol composite resin comprising phenol resin of resorcinol-formaline and polyurethane resin is incorporated with paper and dried, to form a prepreg, which is then thermally compressed to the upper side of a PVC base or a waterproof plywood layer, yielding a transparent protective layer and a shaping layer. In the flooring material, the transparent layer and the shaping layer are made of phenol composite resin, and thus low in heat- and moisture-distortion, with no curling. Further, since a surface layer of the floor-covering material is hardly distorted by heat, a balance layer for the suppression of such distortion is not additionally required.
