A method may be provided for manufacturing a panel that may include a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate. The top layer may have a printed motif and a translucent or transparent synthetic material layer provided above the printed motif. The panel may have a structure or relief at the surface. The method may involve milling profiles into the substrate to obtain mechanical coupling means for coupling together two of the panels. The structure or relief and/or the printed motif may be realized after milling the profiles into the substrate.

A building panel with a surface layer including a wood veneer, a wood fibre based core and a sub-layer between the surface layer and the core. The sub-layer includes wood fibres and a binder. The surface layer has surface portions including material from the sub-layer. The surface portions including material from the sub-layer extend into the wood veneer.

There is provided a decorative sheet composed of a multilayer structure having an intermediate layer and a protective layer on a surface of a cork sheet, wherein a decolorized cork layer is formed on the surface of the cork sheet in contact with the intermediate layer; the intermediate layer is a coated film formed by drying an aqueous emulsion; the protective layer comprises an ultraviolet absorbing layer made of a resin composition containing an ultraviolet absorbing agent; and the surface of the protective layer is a design surface. Such a decorative sheet has excellent light resistance and fastness to rubbing, and also maintains an appearance peculiar to cork.

A method for forming a décor on a substrate, including providing a substrate having a surface, forming at least one portion in the surface of the substrate having an extension in a plane situated lower than or above a plane of the surface of the substrate, and digital printing a décor on the surface of the substrate and on said at least one portion by a common print bar, wherein the décor is continuously extending over the surface of the substrate and said at least one portion. Also, a building panel and a set of building panels.

A method of generating an enhanced visual three-dimensional visual effect to wood sculptures. The includes boiling laminated wood formed into a shape until the plurality of lamination layers physically separate so that the separate lamination layers may be independently pressed. After the separate lamination layers are dried, they can be adhered to each other to reconstitute the formed shape thereby affording the enhanced visual three-dimensional visual effect.

A panel may include at a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate. The top layer may include a motif and a transparent or translucent synthetic material layer provided above the motif. The motif may be a print formed by digitally applying inks on the substrate with the intermediary of one or more primer layers extending underneath the print. The transparent or translucent synthetic material layer may include polypropylene and have a thickness of less than 1 millimeter.

Provided is an inexpensive raised woodgrain finish decorative material that exhibits design properties similar to those of actual wood by the effect of reproducing visual appearance and feeling and has a short production timeline. The raised woodgrain finish decorative material has a substrate, a first raised section provided on one surface of the substrate, and a second raised section provided on the one surface of the substrate in a different location than the location of the first raised section, wherein the length of the first raised section is longer than the length of the second raised section in the lengthwise direction of the substrate, and the height of the first raised section is higher than the height of the second raised section in the thickness direction of the substrate.

A method comprising layering a base layer; depositing a layer of wood particles on the base layer; dispersing the wood particles evenly within a frame; layering a paper sheet; compressing the wood particles with the paper sheets to obtain an enwrapped composite board; layering a kraft paper, a decorative paper and an overlay paper by sequence on the composite board, wherein the kraft paper, the decorative paper and the overlay paper are resin impregnated; and compressing the layered kraft paper, decorative paper and overlay paper to the top and side of the composite board with a carved mould under heat and pressure; thereby forming the natural effect panel that having an irregular surface from top to the side including edge of the panel.

A floor may include a substrate having a top side and a bottom side. A top layer may be provided on the substrate. The top layer may consist of a printed thermoplastic film and a thermoplastic transparent or translucent layer provided on the printed thermoplastic film. The top layer may be directly adhered to the substrate by heat welding the printed thermoplastic film and the top side of the substrate, in the absence of a glue layer. The substrate may be a synthetic material board including a filler. The substrate at least at two opposite edges may include coupling means provided in the synthetic material board. The thermoplastic transparent or translucent layer may be provided with a structure.

A floor panel has a rectangular and oblong shape, and includes a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate and forming a decorative side of the floor panel. The top layer is composed of a print provided on a carrier sheet and a transparent thermoplastic layer situated above the print. The substrate has a thickness from 2 to 10 millimeter and forms at least half of the thickness of the floor panel. The substrate is a polyurethane-based substrate and the transparent thermoplastic layer is polyurethane-based. The floor panel has a length of more than 1.1 meters and has a plurality of reinforcing layers situated outside the center line of the substrate. A reinforcing layer may be provided in combination with the substrate and the top layer.
