ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to floor mats, particularly to cushioned floor mats which incorporate a patterned or colored material layer. The present invention comprises a cushioned backing layer of rubber or other thermoplastic elastomer, and a substantially clear top layer of thermoplastic material such as polyvinyl chloride. The present invention further comprises an intermediate substrate layer between the backing and top layers. The intermediate layer preferably comprises a colorful or patterned substrate which is visible through the substantially clear top layer and which provides the mat with an aesthetically pleasing appearance. It is further preferred that the substantially clear top layer be subjected to an abrasive process, such as sand blasting, to render the surface substantially scuff-resistant.
