Abstract: A process for manufacturing a floor or wall covering is provided. The floor or wall covering has at least one base layer (2) that is made of polymer materials and has an upper face (2a) and a lower face (2b), the upper face having a predefined relief pattern. process including at least the steps of a) advancing the base layer (2); b) controlling numerical control deposition means to deposit a fluid adhesive material (4a, 4b) on the upper face (2a) of the base layer (2) according to the predefined relief pattern; c) depositing material particles (3a, 3b) on the fluid adhesive material (4a, 4b); and d) crosslinking the deposited fluid adhesive material (4a, 4b) to bond the material particles (3a, 3b) to the base layer (2) and form the predefined relief pattern.

Abstract: A module includes at least an associated two-layer structure with one first layer being a polymer base layer highly loaded with mineral fillers contributing to the rigidity of the module, and a second layer made from a printed polymer film defining the decorative part of the module, and the protection of the decorative part. An outer surface of a rigidifying base layer is designed to form a spacer means in the form of a plate of dimensions substantially greater than the format of the module, over all or part thereof, to constitute after abutment of the modules and/or edge jointing of the plate edges, a zone for receiving a sealant such as a binder, putty and like bonding.
