Abstract

A building board, in particular a flooring panel of wooden material is provided. The building board includes a top and an underside, in which at least the top is provided with a decorative layer imitating a natural material. The building board further includes connecting mechanisms corresponding to one another and peripheral side surfaces. At least one side surface and at least one connecting mechanism is provided with a pattern.

Claims (23)

1. A building board, comprising:

a top surface and an underside, at least the top surface has a decorative layer having a pattern imitating a natural material;

side peripheral surfaces along edges of at least the top surface;

a waterproof sealing termination layer covering the decorative layer; and

connecting mechanisms provided along the side peripheral surfaces,

wherein at least one side peripheral surface of the side peripheral surfaces and at least one connecting mechanism of the connecting mechanisms include the pattern imitating the natural material,

wherein the pattern is ink or spray and the waterproof sealing termination layer has an embossing structure that matches the pattern.

2. The building board of claim 1 , wherein each of the side peripheral surfaces has the pattern imitating the natural material.

3. The building board of claim 2 , wherein each of the connecting mechanisms has the pattern imitating the natural material.

4. The building board of claim 3 , wherein the underside has the pattern imitating the natural material.

5. The building board of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the side peripheral surfaces is an end, transverse to longitudinal sides of the building board, the pattern on the end is matched to an end-to-end grain.

6. The building board of claim 1 , further comprising a chamfer, on the side peripheral surfaces, the chamfer having the pattern imitating the natural material such that base material is not visible on the chamfer.

7. The building panel of claim 1 , wherein the connecting mechanisms include locking elements for mechanical locking of adjacent building boards to one another, the locking elements are provided with the pattern imitating the natural material.

8. The building panel of claim 1 , wherein the waterproof sealing termination layer is on the side peripheral surfaces.

9. The building panel of claim 8 , wherein the waterproof sealing termination layer has a structural embossed pattern.

10. The building panel of claim 4 , further comprising a chamfer on the side peripheral surfaces, wherein the chamfer has the pattern imitating the natural material and is coordinated with an optical design of the decorative layer of the side currently amended surfaces and at least one of the top and the underside.

11. A building board, comprising:

a top surface and an underside, at least the top surface has a decorative layer having a pattern imitating a natural material;

side peripheral surfaces along edges of at least the top surface; and

connecting mechanisms provided along the side peripheral surfaces,

wherein at least one side peripheral surface of the side peripheral surfaces and at least one connecting mechanism include the pattern imitating the natural material, and

wherein at least one of the side peripheral surfaces is an end surface, transverse to longitudinal sides of the building board, the pattern on the end surface is matched to an end-to-end grain, and

a termination layer is applied over the pattern and a structure is embossed into the termination layer that matches the pattern.
