| abstract |
A covering material, such as a flooring, comprises a layer (3) of resilient material (3), for example rubber-based material, and a plane metal reticular structure (2), for example made of aluminium, coupled to the layer of resilient material (3). The metal reticular structure (2) is at least partially emerging at the surface of the layer of resilient material (3). Provided on the side of the layer of resilient material (3) opposite to the plane metal structure (2) is a balancing layer (5), for example in the form of a network of fibres, such as glass fibre. Preferentially, the balancing layer (5) has associated to it an outer layer of geotextile material and/or material in the form of felt (6). |
