A laminate material having a decorative appearance has a plurality of layers that are bonded together with at least one of the layers having a first orientation. A portion of at least one of the layers adjacent to an exterior surface of the material is deviated into a second orientation differing from the first orientation. The exterior surface of the material is substantially flat, thereby revealing multiple layers at the exterior surface. Each layer may comprise a sheet that is pre-impregnated with a thermosetting resin. A form having a surface feature may be pressed into the exterior surface of the material while the layers are bonded together to deviate a portion of at least one of the layers adjacent to an exterior surface of the material into the second orientation. The invention also includes a method of generating a laminate material having a decorative appearance.

The present invention provides a preparation method of natural bamboo fiber composites and an application thereof. The method involves treating bamboo with a specific composition of treatment solution to obtain natural bamboo fibers with a length and a diameter that meets certain conditions; then, the natural bamboo fibers are combined with polypropylene fibers to prepare composites, and by controlling process conditions of a preparation process, a high-strength and excellent comprehensive performance composites is finally prepared. The composites produced by the method can be used as a bottom baffle of the air conditioning box in automobiles. Through the method, a high-performance natural bamboo fiber composites are provided.

A decorative panel including a substrate material and decorative top layer includes a compressed timber layer with a permanent increased density. The panel is a floor panel including a mechanical coupling so a locking is created in a vertical direction perpendicular to a plane of the coupled panels, and in a horizontal direction perpendicular to coupled edges and in the plane of the coupled panels. The coupling allows coupling by a downward-directed movement where a first edge includes a male coupling part that can be pushed into a recess of a female coupling part to lock in the vertical direction due to a pair of a cooperating heel of the male coupling part and the recess of the female coupling part, wherein the recess is formed by substrate material of the second edge and a resilient element arranged in the substrate material of the second edge.

The present disclosure relates generally to cladding for covering a building surface. The present disclosure relates more particularly a method of manufacturing a building surface panel. The method includes providing a foam piece having a 30 day/23 C. residual shrinkage of no more than 0.2%. The foam piece having the 30 day/23 C. residual shrinkage of no more than 0.2% is attached to a rear side of an outer shell so as to form the building surface panel. In some embodiments, a front side of the outer shell forms a visible surface of the building surface panel. The foam piece can be provided, e.g., by aging the foam piece for a time and at a temperature such that the 30 day/23 C. residual shrinkage is no more than 0.2%. The foam piece to be aged can, in some embodiments, be cut from a body of foam.
