A method for continuously cladding panels, in particular of wood-based material, with a sheet of thermoplastic material, characterised by: positioning the panels (18), to one side of which a sheet of thermoplastic material has already been applied, on an endless conveyor (2) such that said side faces said endless conveyor and is maintained spaced therefrom at least at the panel edges; superposing on the surface of the panels (18) to be clad, the surface having been previously treated with heat-activated adhesive, a continuous sheet (10) of thermoplastic material; heating the panels (18) to activate the adhesive and soften the sheet of thermoplastic material (10); and applying vacuum to the panels (18) to cause the sheet of thermoplastic material (10) to intimately adhere to the surface and to the edges of the panels. |
