Decorative surface finishes for boards and panels

A board or panel such as a furniture door is provided with a decorative finish by attaching foil to the surface of a cut-away part of the board or panel . The door (1), which may be formed from medium density fibreboard (MDF) with a bonded laminate surface cover, is cut or routed to provide a groove (4) to set off a central portion (5) in relief. Masking film is applied over the door surface (2) and is then removed from the groove (4). Adhesive is applied over the film and the film is stripped away leaving glue in the groove (4). A sheet of PVC foil is applied over the door surface and is bonded by the adhesive in the groove. Excess foil overlaying the portions (3) of the door beyond the groove (4) is then cut away.
