Abstract: A surfaced wood-based board comprises a substrate (1) made of wood material and, on it, a surfacing (2) comprising at least one thermoplastic layer. The surfacing incorporates a polyamide film (2b), which has been glued to the surface of the substrate (1) by means of a reactive adhesive layer (2a). The adhesive layer (2a) is based on phenolic resin, polyester resin, epoxy resin, isocyanate adhesive or polyurethane adhesive, and it is an adhesive film impregnated with reactive adhesive, such as an impregnated paper. A surfaced board is produced by hot-pressing, which is used to attach the films to each other and the substrate.

Abstract: A method of making a board in which a thermoplastic layer is joined to the surface of a wooden board includes the steps of gluing a particle layer onto the surface of a wooden board, covering the particle layer with a thermoplastic, melting the thermoplastic and cooling the melted thermoplastic to form the thermoplastic layer. The particles in the particle layer are wood-based particles such as wood fiber, dust, chips, and paper chaff and are used in a quantity of from 10 to 500 g/sq.m.

Abstract: A layered system for a ship deck including two kinds of elements, namely a deck element and an installation plank. According to the system, at least two opposite edges of the deck element are equipped with a protruding lower part, whereby two of such deck elements can be brought next to each other in a manner that both deck elements have a protruding lower part facing a corresponding part of the other deck element. At least two opposite edges of the installation plank are equipped with a protruding upper part which cover substantially the protruding lower parts of the deck elements when the installation plank is placed between the deck elements which have been placed next to each other in a manner that the protruding lower parts are facing each other. The installation plank is equipped with elements to fasten the deck element system to the deck base.
