A method for manufacturing floor panels, wherein the floor panels comprise at least a substrate and a provided thereon decorative layer of wood veneer, wherein the method comprises:
- providing a basic board;
- composing a stack which comprises at least the basic board, a glue layer, third hard particles and one or more wood veneers;
- pressing the stack, wherein the veneers are adhered to the basic board;
- and
- wherein the third hard particles have an average particle size which is at least one third of the thickness of the wood veneer, and wherein the third hard particles are provided by scattering the particles in or on the glue layer.
A method for manufacturing floor panels, wherein the floor panels comprise at least a substrate and a provided thereon decorative layer of wood veneer, wherein the method comprises:
- providing a basic board;
- composing a stack which comprises at least the basic board, a glue layer and one or more wood veneers;
- pressing the stack, wherein the wood veneers are adhered to the basic board;
- dividing the pressed stack into a plurality of panels, and potentially profiling edges of panels obtained, wherein the veneers are cross cut;
- and
- wherein, subsequent to dividing and potentially subsequent to profiling, a lacquer layer, comprising transparent or translucent surface material, is provided on the wood veneer, wherein the lacquer layer comprises first hard particles, and extends from an upper surface of the wood veneer at least up to a side edge of the wood veneer.
