Abstract

Flooring material comprising floor elements (1) with male joining members (10I) on a first edge (2I), while a second edge (2II) of the floor elements (1) is provided with a female joining member (10II), whereby the floor elements (1) are intended to mainly be joined together by tilting the floor element (1) to be joined with an already installed floor element (1), wherein the floor elements (1) on a third edge (2III) and a fourth edge (2IV) are provided with vertical assembly joining members (10III - 10IV), and in that two adjacent edges (2) of a floor element (1), at the same time, and in the same turning motion, can be joined with a floor element (1) adjacent to the first edge (2I) and a floor element adjacent to the third or fourth edge (2III and 2IV, respectively).
