A method for manufacturing a board as well as a profiled element for manufacturing the board. The method including the steps of providing a material mass including an organic material and a binding agent for binding the organic material together, pressing the material mass so as to form the board, and removing material from the material mass in one or more material zones before pressing so as to obtain after pressing a lower density in those zones compared to the remainder of the board.

Methods for manufacturing boards, and profiled element for manufacturing boards

Board, wherein this board substantially consists of a material mass which is pressed and which comprises at least two components, namely a first component consisting of organic material, and a second component functioning as a binding agent for said first component, with the characteristic that said material mass is composed differently in the plane of the board. The invention also relates to methods by which such board can be manufactured, as well as to panels comprising such board material.

Board, methods for manufacturing boards, and panel which comprises such board material

Floor panel of the type comprising a hard top layer forming a decorative surface, from which, together with other identical or similar floor panels, a floor covering can be formed, wherein this floor panel includes at least one sound-absorbing layer which is integrated into the floor panel and is located between other layers of this floor panel.

Floor panel and method for the manufacture thereof

Floor panel of the type comprising a hard top layer () forming a decorative surface, from which, together with other identical or similar floor panels (), a floor covering can be formed, wherein this floor panel () includes at least one sound-absorbing layer () which is integrated into the floor panel () and is located between other layers of this floor panel ().

The invention relates to an antistatic layered panel () including a substrate () and one or more layers () on top of said substrate, said one or more layers comprising a decorative covering layer (). At least one of the layers on top of said substrate comprises a synthetic resin and is consolidated by pressure with one or more of the other layers. The panel contains at least one antistatic agent evenly distributed in said synthetic resin over the surface of the panel. The invention relates also to methods of its manufacture and in particular to such antistatic laminated floor panels.
