Abstract

A floorboard, includes a carrier plate and a veneer arranged on a topside of the carrier plate, wherein the carrier plate and the veneer are connected with each other via a resin, wherein an edge strip made of the resin is provided on at least two side margins of the veneer, and wherein a surface of the edge strip extends in a same plane as a surface of the veneer.

Claims (23)

1. A floorboard, comprising:

a carrier plate and a veneer arranged on a topside of the carrier plate, said carrier plate and said veneer being connected with each other via a resin,

wherein an edge strip made of the resin is provided on at least two side margins of the veneer,

wherein a surface of the edge strip and a surface of the veneer are coplanar, and

wherein the resin forms a continuous layer on the topside of the carrier plate in contact with a bottom surface of the veneer to connect the carrier plate to the veneer, the continuous layer of the resin on the topside of the carrier plate including the edge strips of the resin.

2. The floorboard of claim 1 , wherein the edge strip differs visually from the veneer.

3. The floorboard of claim 1 , wherein the at least two side margins of the veneer are uneven.

4. The floorboard of claim 1 , wherein the resin is infiltrated into the veneer.

5. The floorboard of claim 1 , wherein the resin is saturated into the veneer.

6. The floorboard of claim 1 , further comprising a balancing layer provided on an under side of the carrier plate.

7. The floorboard of claim 1 , wherein the resin contains a filler.

8. The floorboard of claim 1 , wherein the surface of the veneer and/or the surface of the edge strips are at least one of burnished, embossed, brushed and sealed.

9. A floorboard comprising:

a carrier plate comprising a top surface;

a veneer connected to the top surface of the carrier plate via a resin layer, the veneer comprising a bottom surface, a top surface, and a side margin extending between the bottom and top surfaces;

the veneer possessing a longitudinal dimension smaller than a longitudinal dimension of the top surface of the carrier plate such that the top surface of the carrier plate extends beyond the side margin of the veneer when the veneer is connected to the top surface of the carrier plate via the resin layer; and

the resin layer comprising an edge strip that contacts the top surface of the carrier plate and extends upwards beyond the bottom surface of the veneer to be in contact with the side margin of the veneer,

wherein the resin layer is a continuous layer on the topside of the carrier plate in contact with the bottom surface of the veneer to connect the carrier plate to the veneer, the continuous layer on the topside of the carrier plate including the edge strip of the resin layer.

10. The floorboard according to claim 9 , wherein the edge strip of the resin layer has a top surface that is coplanar with the top surface of the veneer.

11. The floorboard according to claim 9 , wherein the carrier plate is a wood board.

12. The floorboard according to claim 11 , wherein the wood board is high density fiber (HDF).

13. The floorboard according to claim 9 , wherein the side margin of the veneer is untrimmed.

14. The floorboard according to claim 9 , wherein the veneer is embedded into the resin layer such that the resin saturates into the veneer.
