TEXTURED LAMINATE SHEET, AND PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING TEXTURED LAMINATE SHEET

摘要

A process for producing a textured laminate sheet includes a) positioning asubstrate material adjacent a barbed face of a metal sheet. The barbed facehasa plurality of barbs, and the metal sheet has an opposed face opposite thebarbed face. The process further includes b) forcing the metal sheet and thesubstrate material together to impale the substrate material on the barbs andsecure the substrate material and the metal sheet together as a laminatesheet,and c) debossing the opposed face to form a plurality of depressions in thelaminate sheet and texture the laminate sheet.
