Disclosed herein is a fiber cement cladding system such as fiber cement shingles or shakes which can have the appearance of authentic wood. Each individual fiber cement shingle or shake comprises a textured surface having a depth of relief and a coating system disposed on the textured surface. The coating system may include a sealing agent, a basecoat, and a topcoat. In some embodiments, the basecoat is disposed on at least a portion of the sealing agent and the topcoat is disposed on at least a portion of the basecoat. In some embodiments, the basecoat comprises a DFT of 1 to 3 mils and the topcoat comprises a DFT of 0.05 to 2 mils. In some embodiments, the depth of relief of the textured surface of the fiber cement shingle is about 0.03″ to 0.085″.

A method for producing a material board, which has a structured, colored surface, assigns image data to a colored digital image of a colored original surface. The image data is used to produce a first image data set and at least one second image data set, which are each assigned to different color channels of the colored digital image. A colored surface is produced on a base carrier using the at least one second image data set but without using the first image data set. The colored surface of the base carrier is pressed by use of a structured pressing surface of a pressing tool, in order to obtain the material board with the structured, colored surface. The structured pressing surface is assigned to the first image data set.

The invention relates to a workpiece with a manufactured surface structure that forms a decorative pattern, wherein an optically detectable coding is integrated in a reference area of the surface structure of the workpiece. The invention further provides a method for manufacturing a workpiece with such a coding or marking. Such a workpiece can, for example, be a workpiece or an object used in the field of furniture or components industry, in particular a piece of furniture or a part of a piece of furniture.

Provided is a decorative sheet which combines an excellent touch with design attractiveness. The decorative sheet comprises a base layer, a protrusion layer partly disposed, and a first resin layer in this order, in which the first resin layer contains a matting agent and the layer of protrusions contains particles.

Disclosed is a process for the production of synchronous-pore layered materials. Also disclosed is a device for the conduct of the process. In further aspects, the invention relates to layered materials which can be produced by the process, and also to wood-composite boards equipped with the layered materials produced by the process of the invention.

A decorative material that can give an excellent three-dimensional effect, and has a good expression of a natural object is provided. The decorative material comprising, on a first principal surface side, a plurality of independent recesses (A), and a groove-shaped parallel recess and projection pattern group (B) that is arranged in at least a part of a spot where the plurality of independent recesses (A) do not exist, wherein when an average depth of the plurality of independent recesses (A) is defined as X.sub.A, and an average depth of recesses of the groove-shaped parallel recess and projection pattern group (B) is defined as X.sub.B, a relationship of X.sub.B<X.sub.A is satisfied.

The automobile decorative-part (1) comprises a resin-compact (3) having a decorative-layer (2) on its surface-layer and comprises a clear-coat layer (4) for protecting said surface-layer, and that a high-gloss region (R1) of a relatively high-gloss level is mixed with a low-gloss region (R2) of a relatively low-gloss level on the surface of said decorative-part, and that a clear-coat paint is sprayed by an atomization-coating machine onto the surface of the decorative-layer (2), and that the atomization-coating machine contains an ester-based solvent of a low-boiling point as the main-solvent that has a boiling-point of 100 degrees Celsius or less and has a solid-content of 35 to 40 percent by mass, thus forming the clear-coat layer (4) that makes it partially possible to mat the gloss of the surface of the clear-coat layer, thus manufacturing a decorative-part with an excellent quality design.
