9. The decorative panel according to claim 1, wherein the at least one stability layer is applied by liquid application.

10. A method for producing a decorative panel, comprising the steps: a) providing a plate-shaped carrier; b) applying a decoration substrate on at least a portion of the plate-shaped carrier; c) applying a decorative layer replicating a decorative template onto at least a portion of the decoration substrate; d) applying a protective layer onto the decorative layer, wherein the method comprises the further step: e) applying at least one stability layer prior to one of the method steps c) or d), wherein the at least one stability layer comprises polyurethane, and wherein the polyurethane has a density in a range of ≥0.9 g/cm.sup.3 to ≤2 g/cm.sup.3, in an application amount ranging from ≥40 g/m.sup.2 to ≤70 g/m.sup.2.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein step e) is carried out by liquid application.

12. A decorative panel, comprising a layered structure including a plate-shaped carrier on which a decoration substrate and a decorative layer applied on the decoration substrate are provided, wherein the decorative panel further comprises in its layered structure at least one protective layer and at least one white layer, and wherein the decorative panel comprises at least one stability layer in its layered structure, wherein the at least one stability layer is arranged directly adjacent to the decorative layer and the at least one white layer, wherein the at least one stability layer comprises polyurethane, and wherein the at least one stability layer has a density in a range of ≥0.9 g/cm.sup.3 to ≤2 g/cm.sup.3, and wherein the at least one stability layer is formed by an application amount ranging from ≥40 g/m.sup.2 to ≤70 g/m.sup.2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(8) Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(9) FIGS. 1 to 5 show different embodiments of decorative panels. Identical or comparable components or features are designated by the same reference numerals.

(10) FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a decorative panel 10 according to the present disclosure. In this case, initially a particular plate-shaped carrier 12 is provided, which may be formed from a wood-based material, such as a WPC material. On the carrier 12 a decoration substrate 14 is arranged, on which according to FIG. 1 a first white layer 16 and a second white layer 18 are arranged. These serve as a direct carrier of the decorative layer 20. On the decorative layer 20 a stability layer 22 is provided which is made of polyurethane, wherein the stability layer 22 has a density of >0.8 g/cm.sup.3. On the stability layer 22, in turn, a first protective layer 24 is provided, which is configured, for example, as a lacquer layer and provided with a structure 28. For example, the structure 28 is pressed into the first protective layer 24 and in conformity with the decorative layer 20. As a termination, a second protective layer 26 formed, for example, as a top-coat-lacquer, may be applied.

(11) FIG. 2 shows a further embodiment of a decorative panel 10. This embodiment differs from the embodiment of FIG. 1 in that the first protective layer 24 has been dispensed with and the second protective layer 24 is disposed directly on the stability layer 22. It can be seen that the structure 18 is also present in the stability layer 22.

(12) The embodiment of a decorative panel 10 shown in FIG. 3 differs from the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in that the second white layer 18 has been replaced by a stability layer 22, which may additionally be provided and is present in white color. Optionally, the first white layer 16 can likewise be dispensed with.

(13) The embodiment of a decorative panel shown in FIG. 4 differs from the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 in that the second white layer 18 has been replaced by an additional stability layer 22, which is also present in particular in white color. Optionally, the first white layer 16 can likewise be dispensed with.

(14) FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of a decorative panel 10. In this embodiment, a stability layer 22 is arranged only between the decorative layer 20 and the carrier 12, wherein the stability layer 22 can in turn replace one, as shown in FIG. 5, or even both white layers 20, 22.

(15) The foregoing description of the embodiments has been provided for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure. Individual elements or features of a particular embodiment are generally not limited to that particular embodiment, but, where applicable, are interchangeable and can be used in a selected embodiment, even if not specifically shown or described. The same may also be varied in many ways. Such variations are to be regarded as a departure from the disclosure, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the disclosure.
