Abstract: The invention relates to a method allowing the heat transfer of a multilayer complex (1) onto the front face of a textile material (13), said multilayer complex comprising a layer (5) containing polyurethane and a superimposed expansible layer (6) containing a gelled vinyl polychloride plastisol and a non-expanded heat-expansion agent. To this end: the multilayer complex is placed on the visible front face of the textile material, the polyurethane-containing layer being the furthest away from the textile material so as to form, after the transfer, a visible decorative layer on the front face of the textile material; and temperature and pressure conditions are applied so as to cause the adhesion of the multilayer complex to the visible front face of the textile material and the simultaneous expansion of the expansible layer. A three-dimensional edge effect can be obtained using different color layers.

Abstract: A method for producing a textile complex including a textile web and an upper coating layer having an irregular surface condition, and including decorative patterns applied onto the upper coating layer. The method includes preparing a multi-layer decoration complex having at least a substrate layer, a coloured layer, and a heat-fusible layer, cutting the coloured and heat-fusible layers along outlines of the decorative patterns without cutting the substrate layer; removing portions of the coloured and heat-fusible layers outside the pattern areas; arranging the prepared multi-layer complex on the upper coating layer by way of the surface thereof with the heat-fusible layer; applying temperature and pressure conditions that trigger the adhesion of the heat-fusible layer to the upper coating layer; and then subjecting the assembly to a processing resulting in a structured and regular surface condition of the upper coating layer.
