Claims23
A wearprotected wood veneer comprising:
- a substrate,
- a veneer adhesively secured to said substrate,
- a resin impregnated protective layer adhered to said veneer under conditions of temperature, pressure, and time that inhibit the generation of sufficient moisture from the veneer and resins to degrade the visual quality of the product.
The method of manufacturing a wearprotected wood veneer comprising the steps of
- adhesively securing a veneer to a substrate,
- overlaying and adhesively securing a transparent protective layer on said veneer without generating water vapor or other gases from the veneer and resins that visually degrade the surface of the product.
An article comprising:
- a veneer and a resin impregnated protective layer adhered to said veneer under conditions of temperature, pressure, and time that inhibit the generation of sufficient moisture from the veneer and resins to degrade visual quality of the product.
