Abstract
Building panels with a homogenous decorative surface having a wear layer including fibres, binders and wear resistant particles.
Claims63
A building panel comprising a surface layer and a core, the core comprises wood fibres, characterised in that the surface layer comprises a substantially homogenous mix of wood fibres, which comprise natural resins, a binder and wear resistant particles.
A building panel comprising a surface layer connected to a core, the core comprising wood fibres, characterised in that the surface layer is a homogenous layer comprising parts of fibres, colour pigments, binders and wear resistant particles.
The building panel as claimed in claim 26, wherein the wear resistant particles are bonded to the fibres with the melamine resin.
A method of manufacturing a building panel comprising the steps of:
- mixing particles comprising fibres or fibres with binders, colour pigments and small wear resistant particles;
- and
- bringing the particles or the fibres, the colour pigments, the binder and the small wear resistant particles under high pressure and temperature and forming them to a building panel.
The method as claimed in claim 56, wherein the wood fibres, the binder, the colour pigments and the wear resistant particles are in dry form.
A building panel comprising a surface layer and a core, wherein the surface layer is a homogenous layer comprising cork particles, a binder and wear resistant particles of aluminium oxide.
A method of manufacturing floor panels with a decorative surface layer comprising the steps of:
- providing first and second original floorboards with different designs or structures;
- separating the original floorboards into a first type of floor elements;
- connecting the first type of floor elements to a combi floorboard that comprise at least one floor element of the first and second original floorboards;
- separating the combi floorboard into a second type of combi floor elements, which comprises surface portions of the first and second original floorboards;
- and
- forming a mechanical locking system on at least two opposite edges of the second type of combi floor elements.
