Description
- This application is a continuation of and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/941,750 filed Nov. 8, 2010, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/309,345, filed Dec. 4, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,829,176, which claims the benefit of Swedish Application No. 0104117-7, filed Dec. 7, 2001. The entire disclosures of the above references are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties
- The present invention relates to decorative boards with matched surface structure of the upper surface.
- Products coated with thermosetting laminates are frequent today. They are foremost used where the demand for abrasion resistance is high, but also where resistance towards different chemicals and moisture is required. As an example of such products floors, floor beadings, table tops work tops and wall panels can be mentioned.
- The thermosetting laminare mostly consists of a number of base sheets with a decor sheet placed closest to the surface. The decor sheet can be provided with a desired decor or pattern. The most frequent patterns usually represent the image of different kinds of woods or minerals such as marble or granite. The surface of the laminate can be provided with a structure during the laminating procedure which will make the decor more realistic. Press plates with structure or structure foils are frequently used when manufacturing such a laminate. A negative reproduction of the structure in the press plate or the foil will be imprinted into the laminate during the laminating procedure.
- The structure suitably represents features characteristic for the pattern the decor represents in the laminate. The structure can be made coarse to simulate for example roughly planed stone, or smooth with randomly placed pits and micro cracks to simulate polished marble. A wood surface can for example be simulated by providing the surface with randomly placed thin oblong indentations which imitate pores. These indentations must be oriented in the direction of the growth of the simulated wood, which is indicated by the pattern of the grains, in order to make the result realistic.
- It has for a long time been a great need to be able to manufacture a decorative thermosetting laminate with a decor pattern with a surface structure as life like as the decor reproduced.
- According to the present invention the above mentioned needs have been met and a decorative board with a decorative surface with a matching surface structure that overlaps the joints of adjacent boards has been achieved. The invention relates to surface structured decorative boards having a first and a second opposite edge. The boards is also provided with further edges adjacent to said first arid the second edge. The boards include an upper side decorative surface an upper side surface structure and a base layer. The invention is characterised in that the structure is comprised by at least two surface grades forming a decorative surface pattern on said upper side. Said pattern is applied in predetermined fixed positions on the first and the second edges. The first edge pattern positions and the second edge pattern positions are matched so that the pattern continues over the first and second edges of adjacent beards. This means that the pattern close to the first and second edges are matched so that the boards of a selected range will match giving an impression that the structure pattern continues from one hoard to another. The pattern or the remaining part of the board is suitably different from one board to another to create a lifelike impression.

The third edge pattern positions and the fourth edge pattern positions are matched so that the pattern continues over the third and fourth edges of adjacent boards.
- A surface structured decorative boards according to the present invention suitably has a decorative surface which contains a number of conventional dry base layer paper webs or base layer paper sheets which are impregnated with a thermosetting resin wherein the resin in the uppermost of these preferably is melamine-formaldehyde resin while the rest of the webs or sheets possibly contain melamine-formaldehyde resin or phenol-formaldehyde resin, wherein the decor paper web or decor paper sheet respectively, is placed on top of the conventional base layer webs or base layer sheets after which the different paper webs or a stack of sheets respectively are continuously or discontinuously laminated together at an elevated pressure and an elevated temperature. The surface layer of the laminate may also include a so called overlay paper, placed on top of the decor paper. Such an overlay paper is preferably impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resin. At least one of the thermosetting resin impregnated sheets, preferably the uppermost one is suitably coated with hard particles, for example silica, aluminium oxide and/or silicon carbide with art average size of 1-100 μm, preferably around 5-60 μm. The upper side decorative surface is suitably constituted of a decorative layer and a ionomeric polymer. Alternatively the upper side decorative surface is constituted of a decorative layer, a ionomeric polymer and hard particles. According to yet another alternative of the invention the upper side decorative surface is constituted of a decorative layer, a monomeric polymer, overlay paper, impregnated with melamine formaldehyde and hard particles. The decorative layer is suitably made of paper.

Alternatively, a demarcation consisting of a 1-20 mm wide, preferably 3-10 mm wide, field were one surface structure gradually transforms into another surface structure is used.
- Predetermined fixed positions of the structure pattern adjacent the edges preferably extends over a matching tolerance distance. This matching tolerance distance is suitably in the range 1-20 mm, preferably in the range 1-10 mm and most preferably in the range 1-5 mm.
- The surface grades used for achieving the pattern is selected from the group consisting of; groups of small oblong indentations, different grades of gloss to flat surface finish, ridges and recesses and combinations thereof.
- According to one embodiment of the invention the base layer may consist of a number of conventional dry base layer paper webs or base layer paper sheets which are impregnated with a thermosetting resin. The resin in the uppermost of these is preferably while the rest of the webs or sheets for example may contain melamine-formaldehyde resin or phenol-formaldehyde resin. The decor paper web or decor paper sheet respectively, is hereby placed on top of the conventional base layer webs or base layer sheets after which the different paper webs or a stack of sheets respectively are continuously or discontinuously laminated together at an elevated pressure and an elevated temperature.
- The surface layer of the may suitably include a so called overlay paper placed on top of the decor paper. The overlay paper is suitably impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resin. At least one of the thermosetting resin impregnated sheets, preferably the uppermost one is preferably coated with hard particles, for example silica aluminium oxide and/or silicon carbide with an average size of 1-100 μm, preferably around 5-60 μm.
- The overlay may alternatively be replaced by, or used together with, a layer of ionomeric polymer where the polymer for example is constituted or ethylene-methacrylateacid-copolymer while the ions for example are constituted of sodium, zinc or lithium even though other ionomeric polymers are usable. It is also in this embodiment suitable to utilise hard particles as described above.
- According to one embodiment of the invention the base layer consists of a particle board or a fibre board. Such a base layer may be 5-20 mm thick.
- A board according to the invention may for example be used as a floor board, a wall panel or a ceiling panel. The most popular decor used on floor boards is different kinds of wood as for example oak; birch, beech, ash, cherry, maple, walnut, pine, rosewood, mahogany or ebony. Also minerals like marble, granite, Sandstone, soapstone and ceramic materials are popular reproductions. The surface structures use for simulating surfaces to match the above materials may comprise narrow oblong indentations in the surface of 0.1-1 mm width and 0.1-1 mm depth which may simulates pores, and cracks of wood. Wood grain may be simulated by sweeping patterns of indentations of 1-25 mm width and 0.1-2 mm depth. It is also possible to provide the surface with combinations of gloss and flat surfaces in sections which additionally may be raised or recessed.
