The invention relates to a component having a plate-shaped or profile-shaped support and a decorative surface layer connected to the support, the surface layer being formed of thermally curable resin and comprising a three-dimensional surface structure that is produced by embossing and is irregular. According to the invention, in order to inexpensively obtain a decorative surface which has good wear resistance and largely prevents disturbing finger prints, the surface structure comprises regions that are alternately ordered and non-ordered and that are formed by a ribbed and/or grooved structure, ordered regions having parallel and/or quasi-parallel ribs and/or parallel and/or quasi-parallel grooves being interrupted by non-ordered regions or structural breaks, and the width of the respective rib or groove being in the range of from 0.5 μm to 100 μm. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing a component of this type using a corresponding embossing tool is disclosed and claimed.
A component having a plate-shaped or profile-shaped support and a decorative surface layer connected to the support, whereby the support comprises at least one of a wood material, a high pressure laminate (HPL) and a cardboard and the surface layer comprises a thermally curable resin and a three-dimensional surface structure that is produced by embossing and is irregular, wherein the surface structure comprises regions that are alternately ordered and non-ordered and that are formed by a ribbed or a grooved texture, the ordered regions having parallel or quasi-parallel ribs and parallel or quasi-parallel grooves being interrupted by the non-ordered regions or by structural breaks, and wherein a width of the respective rib or groove being between 0.5 μm to 100 μm.
