A joining system for floor panels includes a groove and a tongue on opposite floor panel sides. The tongue is shaped for vertical locking engagement with the groove of an adjoining floor panel in a direction perpendicular to the sides of the panels and parallel to a horizontal floor plane. Two locking recesses are formed in a lower portion of the groove. A first recess is located in an internal portion and a second is located in a lip portion. Two locking lugs are formed in a lower portion of the tongue for engagement with the recesses. A first lug extends downwardly from a tip portion of the tongue and a second lug extends downwardly from a root portion. The first recess and the first lug have curved surfaces. The second recess and the second lug have inclined surfaces.

Joining system for floor panels

The invention relates to a joining system for floor panels, comprising a female coupling recess formed in a first floor panel, said female coupling recess being adapted to receive a male coupling tongue projecting from an adjoining second floor panel in a direction perpendicular to a main floor surface plane in which the floor panels are laid. The joining system further includes an elasticity slot for facilitating resilient movement in said vertical snap joint interlocking engagement.
