Abstract

A building board, in particular of wooden material, plastic or a mixture of wooden material and plastic, with a top side and an underside and side edges. A polyurethane layer is applied at least on the top side. A decorative layer imitating a natural material is applied onto the polyurethane layer.

Claims (22)

1. A method for producing a building board, comprising one of a wooden material, plastic or a mixture of wooden material and plastic, having a top side and an underside, wherein the method comprises applying a polyurethane layer at least onto the top side, applying a decorative layer imitating a material onto the polyurethane layer, applying a second polyurethane layer after the decorative layer is dried; and, prior to drying the second polyurethane layer, applying a structuring embossing.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane layer is applied by pouring on and smoothing with a doctor's blade or by one or more rolling mills.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising applying at least one sealing polyurethane layer on the decorative layer and drying at least a last layer of the sealing polyurethane layer by at least one of a heater fan and through airing in ambient air.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the decorative layer is applied by at least one digital printer or printed in a screen printing process.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the decorative layer is applied in one layer or in several layers.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising producing by the decorative layer itself a relief-like surface imitating a pattern of the material.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a polyurethane layer is applied to the underside.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a decoration and/or structuring embossing on at least part of side edges of the building board.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the structuring embossing on the side edges of the building board matches a structure embossing on the top side.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second polyurethane layer is thicker than the polyurethane layer, and the second polyurethane layer is composed of several layers.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein an applied amount of the second polyurethane layer is between about 50 to 100 g/m 2 .

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein an applied amount of the second polyurethane layer is between about 100 to 400 g/m 2 .

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the top side and an underside of the building board are provided with identical layer structures, with the underside including a structuring embossing for antiskid effect.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein a pattern of the structuring embossing on the underside and the top side are matched.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein after active drying of the decorative layer, applying the second polyurethane layer by a roller printing machine, and prior to curing of the polyurethane layer, applying the structuring embossing.

16. The method of claim of claim 1 , wherein the structuring embossing is made in a surface of the polyurethane layer which matches a decoration of the decorative layer.

17. The method of claim of claim 1 , wherein the structuring embossing is made by a roller printing machine.

18. A method of producing a building board comprising:

applying a polyurethane layer on at least on a top side of the building board, which has particles heavier than the polyurethane layer; and

applying a decorative layer onto the polyurethane layer.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the polyurethane layer contains sand, flour or dusts of quartz, granite or marble or metal particles.

20. The method of claim 18 , further comprising applying a second polyurethane layer after the decorative layer is actively dried; and, prior to actively drying the second polyurethane layer, applying a structuring embossing.
