A method for producing a building element, including providing a substrate, applying a thermosetting binder on the substrate or on a wood veneer layer, arranging the wood veneer layer on the substrate with the thermosetting binder intermediate the substrate and the wood veneer layer, arranging an elastic or formable sheet including a polymeric material between the wood veneer layer and a press surface of a pressing device, applying heat and pressure by the pressing device on the elastic or formable sheet, the wood veneer layer, the thermosetting binder, and the substrate, thereby forming a building element including the substrate and the wood veneer layer attached to the substrate by the thermosetting binder, after applying heat and pressure, removing the elastic or formable sheet from the wood veneer layer. Also, a pressing device for embossing a wooden surface and a method of embossing a wooden surface.

A laminating device and a method for producing a laminate. The laminating device has at least one membrane element. The laminating device has at least one force distributing element, wherein a laminating force which can be transmitted onto a lamination object by the membrane element can be distributed onto at least one sub region of a membrane-side surface of the lamination object via the at least one force distributing element. The at least one force distributing element is held on the laminating device.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a single-faced thin polarizing plate, including: supplying a process film to one surface of a polarizer having a thickness of 50 m or less; supplying a protection film to the other surface of the polarizer; forming an adhesive layer by supplying an adhesive composition between the polarizer and the protection film; pressing a laminate of the process film/the polarizer/the protection film by disposing a pair of pressing units on a surface of each of the process film and the protection film; and stripping the process film, in which stripping force between the polarizer and the process film is 1.0 N or less.
