Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a floor panel (1) used in a flooring installation system. The floor panel (1) is configured in the form of a rectangular board having at least two joints provided on opposite sides in the form of a receiving element (2) on one side and a connecting element (3) on the opposite side, wherein, when the floor panels (1) are being assembled, the connecting element (3) fits into the receiving element (2) in a form-locking manner, thus ensuring a tight joint between two adjacent panels (1). The floor panel (1) is provided on its bottom face with equidistantly spaced floor grooves (4) in longitudinal and transverse directions. On the sides intended for a receiving element (2), the floor panel (1) is provided with vertical grooves (5) extending from the bottom surface of the floor panel (1) through the receiving element (2). The vertical grooves (5) are preferably equidistantly spaced, wherein each vertical groove (5) continuously continues into the corresponding floor groove (4). The vertical groove (5) is formed in its upper portion in the form of a slot (5a), while it is formed in its bottom portion in the form of an extension (5b) that continuously continues into the floor groove (4).
