Abstract

A method to produce a veneered element, the method including applying a first layer on a substrate, applying a second layer on the first layer, applying a veneer layer on the second layer, pressing the first layer, the second layer and the veneer layer together to form a veneered element, wherein, after pressing, the second layer is transparent or translucent such that the first layer is visible through a crack, cavity, hole and/or knot of the veneer layer. Also, such a veneered element.

Claims (22)

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

applying a first layer on a substrate,

applying a second layer on the first layer,

applying a veneer layer on the second layer, and

pressing the first layer, the second layer and the veneer layer together to form a veneered element,

wherein, after pressing, the second layer is transparent or translucent such that the first layer is visible through a defect of the veneer layer, wherein both the first and second layer comprise a binder.

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

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, during pressing, material originating from the second layer permeates into the veneer layer.

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

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

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

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

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

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer comprises a thermosetting binder.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second layer comprises a thermosetting binder.

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

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second layer is applied as a dry powder.

13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer or the second layer comprises a paper sheet.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the first layer and the second layer comprise a paper sheet.

15. The 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.

16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer or the second layer comprises a resin impregnated paper sheet.

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the first layer and the second layer comprise a resin impregnated paper sheet.
