The present invention relates to a method for
coating the
narrow face of a panel element, in particular of a furniture panel, wood material panel, worktop, chipboard, lightweight building panel, interior finishing panel, door,
fiber cement panel or the like, wherein the
coating of the
narrow face is carried out by means of edge strip elements, the method being characterized in that: - firstly at least one edge strip element is fastened to at least one
narrow face; - the panel element and the edge strip element are subjected to material-removing
machining at least at one margin of said narrow face, so as to form at least one recess; - in the course of this material-removing
machining, at least one long marginal side of the edge strip element fastened to said narrow face is at least partially removed; - the recess along the margin of the panel element is subsequently filled with a preferably polymeric material, preferably by means of a melting process; - such that said margin of the panel element can be shaped independently of the thickness of the edge strip element. The invention also relates to a panel element, in particular a furniture panel, worktop, chipboard, lightweight building panel, interior finishing panel, door,
fiber cement panel or the like, having a thickness D and comprising at least one edge strip element which has, for example, a width B2 of 10 to 120 mm, preferably 15 to 100 mm.
