  • Patent number: 9365028
    Abstract: A method for finishing a building board, in particular a wood material or plastic board or a mixture of wood material and plastic. The building board includes a top side and an underside and opposite side edges. The method includes embossing a structure and/or a relief in at least the top side of the building board. A pattern is applied to the embossed side of the building board. The pattern is sealed by the application of an abrasion-resistant layer to the pattern.

  • Patent number: 9199449
    Abstract: A method for producing a pattern, in particular a wood pattern, on the face of a woodbased-material board. The pattern is preset with the aid of a digital data set and applied to the woodbased-material board via an intaglio printing process. The pattern is covered with at least one synthetic resin layer and pressed with the woodbased-material board. The digital data set is used to produce a sample print by use of an inkjet printing process, which print is used to compare with the pattern print on the woodbased-material board in terms of optical appearance. The materials and/or printing conditions used in the pattern printing and the sample printing are coordinated with one another.

  • Publication number: 20150283849
    Abstract: A method for treating a panel of wood-based material to achieve an adhesive-free surface after a decoration (2) has been printed onto at least an upper side of the panel of wood-based material, is distinguished by the fact that a cellulose-free top layer (3) of melamine resin with mixed-in glass beads (5) is applied to the decoration (2), and this top Layer (8) is dried before a wear-resistant layer (6) is applied to the top layer (8).
