Abstract

Methods and apparatus to couple a decorative layer to a core layer of a panel via a barrier layer are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a decorative layer coupled to a panel. The panel has a core layer. The example apparatus includes a barrier layer disposed between the core layer and the decorative layer. The barrier layer is to impede at least one of gas or vapor from escaping from the core layer to the decorative layer to deter the at least one of gas or vapor from exerting a pressure on the decorative layer to deter a portion of the decorative layer from separating from the panel.
