Method for manufacturing floor panels having a top layer having a composition based on a synthetic material. At least at two opposite sides, the floor panels have profiled edge areas that include at least coupling parts. For manufacturing the floor panels, one starts from a board-shaped material, and the floor panels are formed at least partially by way of a laser treatment of the board-shaped material.
