The method, primarily for forming panels with masonry surface and other constructional/architectural components, comprises applying a porous substrate 10 to the first surface of a layer of sheet material 12 and a masonry the 14 to a second surface of the sheet material after which pressure is applied to press the layers together and form the composite product. A number of masonry tiles may be provided on the sheet material, between which grout or render may be provided. The sheet material may comprise a curable polymer material, preferably a thermosetting polymer resin matrix, which may include reinforcing fibres, preferably glass fibre. The substrate may comprise an open cell polymeric foam. A second layer of sheet material may be applied to the opposite side of the the to the first sheet material. The product may be provided with a tongue and groove arrangement or similar. Also claimed is a composite product. |
