Composite moulding and method of making

A method of making composite strips comprising the steps of:

• providing a first component panel of a first material and a second component panel of a different second material;
• laminating the first and second component panels onto one another to form a laminated panel;
• after forming the laminated panel, making a plurality of parallel cuts in the second component panel to form plows therein;
• adhering a filler strip to at least one of the first and second component panels in each of the plows;
• removing the first component panel;
• and
• cuttng the filter strips to form a plurality of elongated composite strips.

A method of making elongated composite strips suitable for use as mouldings or the like comprising:

• providing a composite panel including a continuous component panel and a plurality of parallel islands adhered to the continuous component panel, the islands being made of a material different from that of the continuous component panel and being spaced apart from each other in a repeating pattern so as to define a plurality of parallel plows between the islands;
• inserting filler strips in the plows to fill the plows, thereby forming a composite panel reflecting said repeating pattern, the filler strips being made of a material different from that of the islands;
• removing the continuous panel;
• and
• cutting through the filler strips, thereby forming a plurality of composite strips each including one of the islands as a core and having sides formed by portions of the filler strips.

• inserting two filler strip pieces in each plow so that each piece is adjacent one of the islands, thereby forming a composite panel reflecting the repeating pattern, the filler strip pieces being made of a material different from that of the islands;
• and
• separating the composite panel between adjacent filter strip pieces, thereby forming a plurality of composite strips, each including one of the islands as a core and having sides formed by filler strip pieces.
