Abstract
Sheet-type covering material having a decorative fabric base with a wear layer over the face of the fabric and a resilient backing adhered to the back of the fabric is prepared by first forming a plastic wear layer adhered to the face of a sheet of decorative fabric and then forming a resilient backing layer on the back of the fabric sheet. Preferred embodiments include the use of mechanically foamed plastic as the resilient backing layer and a conventional wear layer of polyvinyl chloride or polyurethane. The fabric is preferably textured so as to impart a textured surface to the wear layer.
