摘要:
A method of producing a decorative panel or laminate, comprises the steps of: piling up a plurality of layers of material, the layers of material comprising: - a substrate (2), - one or more paper sheets impregnated with thermosetting resin, the one or more paper sheets comprising a decorative paper sheet (3) and, optionally, an overlay (4) combined with the decorative paper sheet, and - a layer of fabric (5) of natural, synthetic, or metallic fibres or a combination of such fibres, which is suitable for producing a decorative effect, and
applying pressure and heat to the pile of layers thus obtained in order to bond the paper sheet/s, the substrate and the fabric layer to one another intimately. The fabric layer is intended to form a surface layer of the decorative panel or laminate; the thermosetting resin of the decorative sheet and/or of the overlay is prepared in a manner such that, during the application of pressure and heat, the resin penetrates through and incorporates the fabric layer, leaving the outer surface of the fabric layer exposed.
