A method for manufacturing panels includes at least the step of covering one or more side edges of a relevant panel, and moving the panel with its respective side edge relatively beyond an application device. The application device includes at least one nozzle, positioned in the plane of the panel when viewed at an angle of less than 90° to the corresponding side edge. A floor panel includes a covered side edge.

Method for manufacturing panels, and floor panel obtained hereby

A floor panel with a substrate and a decorative layer of wood veneer with a thickness of 1 millimeter or less and provided on the substrate. The decorative layer is provided on the substrate by means of a glue layer which is situated between the substrate and the decorative layer. The glue layer comprises hard particles with an average particle size which is at least one third of the thickness of the wood veneer. Methods for manufacturing such floor panels are provided.

Floor panel and methods for manufacturing floor panels

A coated panel with a substrate and a decorative top layer. The substrate includes an, optionally filled, plastic composite. The coated panel is provided on at least a first pair of two opposite edges with mechanical coupling means that allow two such panels to be coupled to each other on the first pair of edges in question. Locking is obtained both in a vertical direction perpendicular to the plane of the coupled panels, and in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the respective edges and in the plane of the coupled panels. The mechanical coupling means or coupling parts allow a displacement in the direction along the coupled edges.

Coated panel

A coated panel with a substrate and a decorative top layer, such that the decorative top layer includes a print and a transparent wearing layer applied thereon. The panel has a lowered edge region at least on one edge. Both the aforementioned print and the aforementioned wearing layer extend continuously from on the central area of the panel over the aforementioned lowered edge region. The aforementioned wearing layer has a lower degree of gloss at the location of the lowered edge region than on the central area of the aforementioned coated panel and/or has a degree of gloss of 10 or less measured according to DIN 67530. A method for manufacturing is provided for the coated panel and to a milling tool applied therewith.

Coated panel, method for manufacturing thereof and milling tool applied therewith

A panel including at least a substrate of thermoplastic material and a top layer with a printed decor and a translucent or transparent wear layer. The substrate has a thickness larger than one half of the thickness of the entire panel, and the substrate at least includes two layers, where the two layers each include thermoplastic material. A first one of the two layers further includes at least 60 percent by weight of filler materials and a second one of the two layers includes less fillers or is not filled, and is situated above the first one of the two layers.

Panel for forming a floor covering

A method for manufacturing panels such that the panels are subjected on at least one side to an operation with cutting tools. The position and/or orientation of each panel is determined prior to the operation, and the position and/or orientation of each panel is adjusted prior to the operation and/or the position of the tools is potentially adjusted, such that at least one part of each panel concerned takes a fixed orientation and position in relation to the tools.

Method for manufacturing panels

A method for manufacturing floor panels, wherein these floor panels have a thickness of 2 to 6 millimeters and comprises at least a substrate and a decor provided thereon, wherein said substrate substantially consists of thermoplastic material and filler materials, wherein said filler materials form at least 40 percent by weight of said substrate, and wherein the method comprises at least the step of providing a first solid substrate layer by means of extrusion, wherein said substrate layer comprises said thermoplastic material and filler; the step of providing said decor by directly printing the substrate; and the step of liquidly applying a lacquer layer on said decor, and subsequently hardening said lacquer layer by UV light.

Floor panel and method for manufacturing floor panels

A method for manufacturing a folded panel including the following steps: providing a longitudinal recess at the rear side, such that at the front side between remaining panel sections on both sides of the recess a flexible transition section remains, bending the panel sections relative to each other and applying an adhesive in the recess. Before the panel sections are bent relative to each other, a template is inserted into the recess.

Method for manufacturing a folded panel, and a folded panel

A floor element includes a decorative top layer on a polymer substrate. The sides of the floor element have a profile along a section with a surface at right angles to the decorative top layer. The floor panel is provided with a water-repellent coating on at least one side. For each side and along the entire length of the side, at least a part of the profile is coated with a water-repellent coating.

Floor element and method for manufacturing floor elements

A floor panel for forming a floor covering consisting of floor panels which are provided with coupling parts on at least one pair of edges. The coupling parts are made mainly of the material of the floor panel, and the coupling parts are configured such that two of such floor panels can be installed and locked together at the pair of edges via a downward movement and/or via the fold-down principle.

Floor panel for forming a floor covering

A floor panel includes at least a substrate and a decor provided thereon. The substrate consists essentially of thermoplastic material and/or filler materials. The substrate encloses one or more glass fiber cloths. The total weight of the one or more glass fiber cloths is more than 85 grams per square meter.

A method for manufacturing a product having a surface provided with embossments, includes bringing a material web is in contact with a roller. The roller is provided with a relief at its surface, with which, via this relief, embossments are formed in the material web. The roller has a circumference of which, or at least certain parts thereof that are variable, or alternatively the circumference of the roller is variable by making use of embossing elements, wherein the mutual angular position thereof is adjustable.

Method and device for manufacturing products having a surface provided with embossments, and products obtained thereby

A panel for forming a floor covering has a substrate including at least a layer of thermoplastic material, where the panel, above the layer, has at least also a printed d&#xe9;cor and a translucent or transparent wear layer. The layer also includes at least individual fibers having a length greater than 1 millimeter, where the individual fibers are loose and freely distributed with the layer of thermoplastic material.
