Wear resistant resinous compositions having textured or embossed surfaces resulting from the process which comprises selectively contacting a resinous polymer containing a blowing agent dispersed therein with an inhibitor for said agent, applying thereto a self-supporting layer of a translucent, decorative, resinous wear layer, and, thereafter heating the resulting assembly so as to effect the decomposition of the blowing agent and the resultant expansion on the surface of the resinous composition as well as to fuse the wear layer which has conformed to the surface embossings. |
