Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1593795A1] The method involves providing a flat, solid base material (2) with elongate recesses, and filling the recesses with a hardenable compound (6a,6b). After the compound has been hardened, the base material is cut along the filled recesses, exposing the hardened compound as a side connecting device (12a,12b). The recesses are preferably grooves machined in the base material. Independent claims are included for the use of a hardenable compound to form side connections; an apparatus for carrying out the method; and for a floor panel.
