  • Patent number: 10464339
    Abstract: Surface elements comprising a decorative upper layer and a supporting core are disclosed. In such surface elements the decorative upper layer can comprise a digitally applied wood grain pattern made up of at least four colors, said pattern being applied to an underlying white ground coating provided on said supporting core, said pattern comprising at least one of visually simulated knots, cracks, flaws and grain. In such surface elements the decorative upper layer can further comprise an at least partly translucent wear layer arranged over said pattern, said wear layer consisting of a cured substance comprising silicon oxide. In such surface elements the decorative upper layer can further be provided with a surface structure increasing the realism of said wood grain pattern, being directed in accordance with the direction of said pattern and being in the form of narrow elongated recesses simulating the pores of wood.
