Method for the manufacturing of a cladding element for a passenger cabin of a vehicle

A method for manufacturing a cladding element for a passenger cabin of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• introducing a first layer into a forming shell, wherein the first layer comprises first fibres and is impregnated with a resin,
• providing a support layer onto the first layer, such that the first layer extends beyond at least one edge of the support layer, wherein the support layer is reinforced with second fibres,
• providing an elastic material strip onto a portion of the first layer that extends beyond the support layer, such that the material strip is flush with the edge of the support layer,
• providing a second layer onto the support layer, such that a portion of the second layer extends beyond the edge of the support layer and is superimposed on the material strip, wherein the second layer comprises the first fibres and is impregnated with the resin, and
• closing the forming shell and exerting a pressure on the layer arrangement accommodated in the forming shell, at a temperature in a range of 50° C. to 100° C., such that a sandwich structure is formed.
