Abstract
A floor covering, made of floor elements, which, at least at two opposite sides, includes a male coupling part and a female coupling part, which allow that two of such floor elements to be interconnected by pushing one of these floor elements with the associated male coupling part, by a downward movement, home into the female coupling part of the other floor element. At least one of the coupling parts, either the male coupling part or the female coupling part, is made as least partially in a filled synthetic material composite, such as extruded wood.
