Abstract
A method of producing a veneered element (10), including providing a substrate (1), applying a sub-layer (2) on a surface of the substrate (1), applying a veneer layer (3) on the sub-layer (2), and applying pressure to the veneer layer (3) and/or the substrate (1), such that at least a portion of the sub-layer (2) permeates through the veneer layer (3). Also, such a veneered element (10).
Claims25
A method of producing a veneered element, comprising:
- providing a substrate,
- applying a sub-layer on a surface of the substrate, the sub-layer comprising a binder selected from the group of melamine formaldehyde, urea formaldehyde, phenol formaldehyde, and a combination thereof,
- applying a wood veneer on the sub-layer,
- applying pressure to the wood veneer and/or the substrate, such that at least a portion of the sub-layer permeates through the wood veneer, wherein the method further comprises:
- controlling a decorative design of a surface of the veneered element by determining a level of partial permeation of the sub-layer through the wood veneer, and forming new holes and/or cracks in the wood veneer to achieve the level of partial permeation of the sub-layer through the wood veneer.

A method of producing a veneered element, comprising:
- providing a substrate,
- applying a sub-layer on a surface of the substrate, the sub-layer being applied as a dry powder,
- applying a veneer layer on the sub-layer,
- applying heat and pressure to the veneer layer and/or the substrate to cause the sub-layer to melt and to then partially permeate at least a portion of the sub-layer through the veneer layer, and
- controlling a decorative design of the veneer layer by determining a level of partial permeation of the sub-layer through the veneer layer, and forming new holes and/or cracks in the veneer layer to achieve the level of partial permeation of the sub-layer through the veneer layer,
- wherein the new holes and/or cracks in the veneer layer are caused by abrasive machining the veneer layer prior to applying pressure to the veneer layer and/or the substrate.

A method of producing a veneered element, comprising:
- providing a substrate,
- applying a sub-layer on a surface of the substrate, the sub-layer being applied as a dry powder, the sub-layer comprising a binder, pigments, wood fibers, and wear resistant particles,
- applying a veneer on the sub-layer, the veneer being one of a wood veneer, a cork veneer, and a stone veneer, the veneer comprising a hole extending from the top surface through the bottom surface so that the sub-layer is visible through the hole of the veneer,
- controlling a decorative design of the veneer by determining a level of partial permeation of the sub-layer through the veneer,
- applying heat and pressure to the veneer and/or the substrate, the heat and pressure causing the sub-layer to melt and causing at least a portion of the sub-layer to permeate partially through the veneer.
