Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1510361A2] The invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing a decorative surface in which particles (4) are embedded in a substrate (2) leaving a surface (6) of the particles (4) exposed. The method makes use of a load member (12) which includes load sites (14) arranged in a predetermined pattern into which particles (4) may be loaded and retained by retaining means (16). The loaded load member (12) is positioned above a layer of fluid substrate (28) and the particles released from the load sites (14) enter into the layer of fluid substrate (28). The substrate is then hardened. <IMAGE>
