Method of manufacturing a timber composite, the timber composite obtained and decorative panels comprising such timber composite

A decorative panel comprising a substrate material and a decorative top layer, wherein the substrate material comprises a thermoplastic board or a Wood Plastic Composite board, wherein the decorative top layer is formed by at least two timber layers, wherein at least one of the at least two timber layers comprises a wood structure with naturally occurring vessels throughout a thickness of the wood structure, the vessels being collapsed and having opposed walls, the opposed walls being glued together permanently, wherein the panel is a rectangular floor panel which, at both pairs of opposite edges comprises mechanical coupling allowing coupling two of the floor panels to each other such that a locking is created in a vertical direction perpendicular to a plane of the coupled panels, as well as in a horizontal direction perpendicular to a coupled edge and in the plane of the panels, wherein the coupling for a major part is in the substrate.

A decorative panel comprising at least one timber layer, wherein the timber layer has a wood structure with naturally occurring vessels throughout a thickness of the wood structure, the vessels being collapsed and having opposed walls, the opposed walls being glued together permanently.
