Natural wood sandwiched engineered flooring utilizes all natural wood as the raw material which is made into several components which are combined to make this product. The components are a single or multilayer top veneer bottom or base layer and a middle layer. The four sides of the natural wood sandwiched engineered flooring strip consist of either a tongue and a groove or an interlocking system. The middle layer consists of two parallel solid wood strips, and located perpendicular to and between the parallel solid wood strips are small pieces of soft wood, which are glued together. The small soft wood pieces can be of fast growing soft wood, and as such saves treasured hardwood lumber. The production cost of the raw material is much lower than other types of engineered flooring. Further, an enhanced stabilization of the hardwood flooring is provided which is more suitable for radiant heat. |

A composite panel consisting of outer skins and an inner core consisting of a foamed polymer, wherein the structure or properties of the inner core are anisotropic. The composite panel can be made by applying external heat and pressure to melt a skin of thermoplastic composite and an initial thickness of a thermoplastic core which has anisotropic properties causing the skin and core to fuse together followed by cooling the fused structure. The composite panel can be made by applying external heat and pressure to melt layers of a thermoplastic adhesive positioned between the outer skins and an inner core consisting of a foamed polymer, wherein the structure or properties of the inner core are anisotropic, so that the skins are bonded to the core by the melted layers of the thermoplastic adhesive followed by cooling the bonded structure. |

A two-ply flooring plank is disclosed having two layers or “plies” with a bottom layer having a grain that runs generally transverse to a top layer or “cross-ply” to provide dimensional stability to the plank. The bottom layer includes a number of strips secured to the bottom of the top layer. The bottom layer strips are also placed with gaps between the individual strips of the second layer to allow flexibility of the flooring plank, which allows the flooring to more easily conform to irregularities in a subfloor upon which the flooring plank is mounted. |
