Abstract
A process for producing a textured laminate sheet includes a) positioning a substrate material adjacent a barbed face of a metal sheet. The barbed face has a plurality of barbs, and the metal sheet has an opposed face opposite the barbed face. The process further includes b) forcing the metal sheet and the substrate material together to impale the substrate material on the barbs and secure the substrate material and the metal sheet together as a laminate sheet, and c) debossing the opposed face to form a plurality of depressions in the laminate sheet and texture the laminate sheet.
Claims10
A textured laminate sheet comprising:
- a) a metal sheet having a barbed face with a plurality of barbs, and an opposed face opposite the barbed face, wherein the metal sheet has a metal sheet thickness;
- b) a substrate material adjacent the barbed face and impaled on the plurality of barbs, wherein the substrate material is a latticed sheet having openings therethrough;
- and
- c) a plurality of depressions formed in and texturing the opposed face, such that the plurality of depressions are formed over the plurality of barbs to cause the plurality of barbs to further penetrate into the substrate material in areas without the openings;
- and wherein the plurality of depressions have a depth greater than the metal sheet thickness.
