Abstract

A method to produce a veneered element, the method including applying a first layer on a substrate, applying a second layer on a veneer layer, applying the veneer layer with the second layer applied thereto on the first layer, such that the second layer is facing the first layer, pressing the first layer, the second layer and the veneer layer together to form a veneered element, thereby material originating from the second layer permeates into the veneer layer, and wherein, after pressing, the first layer is visible through a crack, cavity, hole and/or knot of the veneer layer. Also, a veneered element.

Claims (20)

1. A method to produce a veneered element, the method comprising

applying a first layer on a substrate,

applying a second layer on a veneer layer,

applying the veneer layer with the second layer applied thereto on the first layer such that the second layer is facing the first layer,

pressing the first layer, the second layer and the veneer layer together to form a veneered element, whereby material originating from the second layer permeates into the veneer layer, and

wherein, after pressing, the first layer is visible through at least one defect.

2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein, during pressing, the at least one defect of the veneer layer is at least partially filled with material originating from the first layer.

3. A method according to claim 1 , wherein applying the second layer on the veneer layer comprises applying a liquid on the veneer layer, and subsequently applying a dry powder on the veneer layer for forming the second layer.

4. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the second layer is applied as a slurry.

5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein no second layer is attached to one of the at least one defect of the veneer layer.

6. A method according to claim 1 , wherein, during pressing, the second layer prevents material originating from the first layer from permeating into the veneer layer.

7. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer comprises pigments and/or dyes.

8. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer has a substantially uniform colour.

9. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the second layer is free from pigments and dyes.

10. A method according to claim 1 , wherein, after pressing, the second layer has a different colour than the first layer.

11. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the second layer is transparent or translucent after pressing.

12. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer comprises a thermosetting binder.

13. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the second layer comprises a thermosetting binder.

14. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer is applied as a dry powder.

15. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a wood-based board, a particleboard, a thermoplastic board, a plywood, a lamella core, a veneer layer, a sheet, or a non-woven.
