A cushion cover (100), in particular for a vehicle seat (1), includes a surface layer (102) and at least one embossing (120) in the surface layer (102). A cavity (122) on the rear face of the at least one embossing (120) is at least partly filled with an insert (106). A method for producing a cushion cover (100), in particular for a vehicle seat (1), is also provided, including producing a surface layer (102) and at least one embossing (120). The surface layer (102) is provided with the at least one embossing (120) in a tool (10), and a rear face of the at least one embossing (120) is at least partly filled with an insert (106) in an additional method step.

An exterior décor panel for a home appliance includes a metal sheet having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The metal sheet includes a first patterned portion having successive recesses formed in the first surface, where each of the successive recesses have a prescribed depth, and a second patterned portion having successive protrusions formed at the second surface, where the successive protrusions correspond to the successive recesses. The successive recesses are formed by applying a force to the first surface, thereby transferring the force to the second surface to form the successive protrusions.

The invention concerns a process for the manufacture of surface covering tile (SCT) comprising the steps of: (i) providing a surface layer comprising a film having a melting point of above 200° C.; (ii) printing a decorative pattern on the back side of the surface layer; (iii) providing a substrate layer comprising a polymer and a filler; (iv) bonding the back side of the surface layer onto the substrate layer and embossing the upper side of the surface layer in a hot press at a temperature and a pressure suitable for deforming the substrate layer. The invention also concerns a grained SCT comprising: a substrate layer comprising a polymer and a filler; and a surface layer comprising a film having a melting point of above 200° C., wherein the upper side of said surface layer is embossed and the back side is printed with an ink.

A covering element includes a carrier plate having a mineral material, the carrier plate formed as a flat mineral carrier plate with a content of cement larger than 35 percent by volume and with a content of natural fibers of 1 to 40% by volume. The carrier plate has a thickness between 3 and 15 mm and carries a polymer-containing decor layer on a front side of the carrier plate. Complementary recesses and protrusions are provided on opposing lateral edges of the carrier plate of the covering element, such that in an assembled condition of two or more covering elements the complementary recesses and protrusions engage with each other, wherein a portion of a polymer contained in the polymer containing decor layer penetrates into the carrier plate.
