Abstract
The present invention relates to flexible decorative panels which simulate the appearance of natural materials such as brick, logs, wood planks, stone, masonry work, millwork, woodwork, etc., in addition to methods and kits for their preparation. The panels comprise a flexible building sheet, reinforced with a light fibrous material, fabricated by: filling a mold comprising a pattern of a natural material in relief with a fluent hardening material; submerging a reinforcing means within the hardening material; brushing the surface of hardening material; and de-molding the hardened panel.
Claims8
A method for the manufacture of decorative panels consisting of:
- (a) filling a single cavity open tray mold, comprising a plurality of indentations in the shape of natural materials, with a fluent hardening material wherein said hardening material is selected from gypsum cement, plaster-of-Paris, or an acrylic based compound, and wherein said mold comprises a continuous pattern of a natural material or materials in relief;
- (b) totally submerging a reinforcing means within the hardening material;
- (c) brushing the surface of the hardening material to further submerge said reinforcing means;
- and
- (d) de-molding the hardened panel,
- thereby producing a flexible panel consisting of a one piece unit of molded formations of the same material with said reinforcing means spanning the panel.
A flexible three-dimensional panel produced by:
- (a) filling a single cavity open tray mold comprising a plurality of indentations in the shape of natural materials, with a fluent hardening material, wherein said hardening material is selected from gypsum cement, plaster-of-Paris, or an acrylic based compound, and wherein said mold comprises a continuous pattern of a natural material or materials in relief;
- (b) totally submerging a reinforcing means within the hardening material;
- (c) brushing the surface of the hardening material to further submerge said reinforcing means;
- and
- (d) de-molding the hardened panel,
- thereby producing a flexible panel consisting of a one piece unit of molded formations of the same material with said reinforcing means spanning the panel.
