<p>A panel for furniture and entrance doors and panels, with at least one surface decorated with bevel or rounded longitudinal sections extending along three or four sides and possibly with elevated or depressed central plates or ridges or grooves that may extend in any direction, longitudinal, transverse or at any angle to the longitudinal or transverse axes of the panel, the said panel finished in plastic laminate such as HPL, CPL or Formica. The plastic laminate is post formed by bending under heat and the occurrence of breaks at transverse bending lines is prevented by placing the basal panel in a template and placing over the basal panel a sheet of plastic laminate that is slightly larger than the basal panel such that the edges of the plastic laminate are supported by the walls of the template during post forming along the edges of the panel. The excess material is then cut off and a smooth continuous plastic laminate finish is obtained. Where elevated or depressed plates or ridges or grooves result in a hollow space between the plastic laminate and the basal plate into which the plastic laminates is to be forced, a rubber sheet of appropriate size and sufficient thickness is placed above the plastic laminate whereby the plastic laminate is protected from breaking under the pressure exerted to post form the said plastic laminate.</p> |
