Bevel Technologies

Unilin Technologies provides several bevel technologies to manufacturers.

Our bevel technologies provide certain technical advantages while also improving the appearance of the floor by enhancing the plank effect. Bevels can be produced by different processes.

 

Lacquered bevels

The beveled edge is created by milling away part of the top layer of the floor panel and then finishing it with a lacquer. The technology is most suited for creating uniform-color beveled edges.

Transfer foil bevels

The beveled edge is created by milling away part of the top layer of the floor panel and then decorating it by transferring a print to the milled surface. This technology enables a motif to be applied to the bevel.

Printed bevels

The beveled edge is created by milling away part of the top layer of the floor panel and then decorating it by printing directly onto the milled surface, e.g. by means of an inkjet printer. The technology enables a motif to be extended onto the bevel.

Pressed bevels

The beveled edge is created by pressing down the decor layer, e.g. during the lamination process. The beveled surface carries the same decor as the surface of the floor panel.

LVT bevels

The beveled edge is created by milling away part of the top layer of the floor panel to thereby expose an underlying layer of thermoplastic material. The underlying layer can match or contrast with the color of the top surface. A second technique consists in milling away part of the top layer of the floor panel and decorating it with paint or lacquer.

Post-form bevels

The beveled edge is created by pressing down the decor layer after the lamination process. The beveled surface carries the same decor as the surface of the floor panel. UNILIN has entered into a cooperation agreement with the company Berry-Alloc in order to increase the patent protection on this technology.

HPL bevels

The beveled edge is created by milling away part of the top layer of the floor panel to thereby expose an underlying kraft paper. The kraft paper determines the color of the bevel, which can match or contrast with the top surface.
