A panel for cladding a substrate and a method for producing same, in which a plurality of indentations, which start from the visible surface, extend so as to be inclined (, ) relative to the visible surface and end in respective side surface, are formed at the transition from the visible surface into at least one of the side surfaces to form a chamfer. A The chamfer is formed solely by the plurality of indentations, which include at least a first group of indentations all of which extend in an inclined manner relative to the visible surface at a first inclination angle (), and a second group of indentations all of which extend in an inclined manner relative to the visible surface at a second inclination angle (), the first inclination angle () and the second inclination angle () different from each other.

A method for manufacturing a laminate panel, where in a first step a press element is manufactured showing a surface relief. In a second step by means of the press element a relief is formed in a surface of the laminate panel, where the surface relief of the press element is provided with protrusions, which during pressing form recesses in the surface of the laminate panel. The recesses imitate wood pores. When manufacturing the press element, at least a number of the protrusions is made elongate and as such are formed substantially or essentially by a machining treatment with rotating cutting tools.

Stone slabs, and systems and methods of forming slabs, are described. Some example slabs include a first pattern defined by a first particulate mineral mix and a second pattern defined by a second particulate mineral mix different from the first particulate mineral mix. Locations of the first pattern have a first average thickness perpendicular to the slab width and the slab length, and locations of the second pattern have a second average thickness perpendicular to the slab width and the slab length that is different from the first average thickness.

A decorative concrete with a very uniform finish surface and a method of fabricating the same is disclosed. A concrete mixture is poured over a subgrade which defines an exposed surface. The exposed surface is finished with any of several techniques, and the surface is then worked with an abrasive material, and additional techniques are used to color and seal the concrete.
