(57) In a block of floorboards for provinding a floating flooring, said block comprising
a first floorboard (1) and a second floorboard (1') arranged such that at least one
short edge of the first floorboard is aligned with at least one short edge of the
second floorboard, said two floorboards being provided, at least along opposing long
edges (4a,4b) with integrated connecting means for locking together the first floorboard
with the second floorboard (1'), such that upper edge portions of the floorboards,
in a joined state together define a vertical plane (VP), whereby said connecting means
are adapted for locking together said floorboards in a horizontal direction (D2),
perpendicular to said vertical plane (VP), as well as in a vertical direction (D1),
perpendicular to a main plane the floorboards, it is foreseen that a long edge (4a,4b)
of said floorboards has a length not exceeding 80 cm and a short edge (5a,5b) of said
floorboards has a length not exceeding 10 cm. The invention further comprises: a method
for manufacturing a rectangular floorboard; a flooring system comprising two types
of rectangular floorboard; a flooring system comprising four types of rectangular
floorboards; a method for installing a flooring comprising two types of rectangular
floorboards; and a method for installing a flooring comprising mechanically locked
rectangular floorboards joined in parallel rows.
