Publication number: 20100206467Abstract: A method for coating a component with a thin layer of ligneous material, includes selecting a sheet of coating constituted at least partially by a thin layer of ligneous material intended to be visible in the finished component, coating the surface of the sheet with a thin layer of a transparent composition containing a synthetic resin, and fixing the coated sheet to the surface of the component. In the fixing step, the layer of composition deposited on the surface of the sheet has a resilience which is at least 5% greater, and preferably at least 10% greater, than that of the thin layer of ligneous material in all directions, and the composition layer is transparent so that the layer of ligneous material is visible through the layer of composition. A step of engraving the surface of transparent composition opposite the layer of ligneous material is advantageous after coating.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2008Publication date: August 19, 2010Applicant: FAURECIA INTERIEUR INDUSTRIEInventors: Nathalie Durand, Hugo Piccin
