The pressure plate usually includes a wear surface, and the wear surface is glued to a base wear surface. A wear resistant high pressure decorative laminate, and typically consists of a fiberboard or particleboard. Laminates are typically fabricated in the form of plates or bricks and can be assembled in a variety of ways using a variety of gutter designs. Unfortunately, laminate flooring, like hardwood flooring, is susceptible to ringing and can expand and contract under the influence of temperature and humidity. Therefore, the bottom plate is often laid down in a "floating system" without connecting it directly to the underlying floor. At that time, a small distance is usually left between the bottom plate and the surrounding wall. The space between the bottom walls allows the floor to expand and contract. However, if a restraining weight is applied to the bottom plate to prevent or limit expansion and/or contraction, wrinkles may occur in the individual joints of the assembled bottom plate. The buckling condition may also occur at the clearance spacing around the wall and the edge of the floor is insufficient or subject to the bottom of the floor of the invention floor. The bottom of the base is arranged in the shape of the bottom, and the gap between the laying layer and the bottom of the floor is limited to 6 200823347. This problem is exacerbated in larger spaces and in promenades because eistraining weights or actual space dimensions can result in undesirable movements due to the ability to limit the free expansion and/or contraction of the bottom plate. In these cases, the preferred method is to divide the bottom plate into a plurality of segments by adding a small gap at predetermined intervals.
