摘要 |
The invention comprises a method of forming a component 1 with a surface 3 suitable for adhesion, the method comprising embedding a relatively flexible material 2 in a plastics material and forming the component 1 from the plastics material, whereby the relatively flexible material 2 is embedded in and covers a surface of the so-formed component 1 in a region where it is intended to adhere a further object. The component may be a frame member 1 or skin member 6 for the formation of a door. The frame member 1 may be pultruded and the relatively flexible material may be an open weave fabric 2. The material 2 is removed from members 1 and 6 to reveal a clean, abraded surface 3,4 which is suitable to adhere members 1 and 6 together to form the door. Methods of forming a door have also been claimed. |
