ABSTRACT:
A decorative floor covering in tile form has a design printed on its upper surface. Particles are positioned on the upper surface of the tile with at least some of the particles being placed on the tile surface in register with the design printed on the tile surface. A cured wear layer overlies both the particle and the plastic base, whereby the wear layer surface in the areas containing particles and in the areas not containing particles will be of different gloss characteristics.
The process requires the sprinkling of particles over an adhesive coated surface to retain the particles in registration with a printed design on the tile surface.
