The invention relates to a method for narrow-
surface coating of, preferably rectangular, panel elements, in particular furniture panels, wood-based panels, worktops, chipboard, lightweight panels, interior finishing panels,
doors,
fiber cement panels or the like. - wherein at least one surface of the
plate element is first coated using a
coating material, - followed by the
coating of a narrow surface of the panel element using this
coating material, - wherein, for this purpose, coating material projecting beyond the surface of the
plate element is bent over, preferably at a right angle, so that it covers at least one narrow surface of the
plate element, - wherein the coating material is
cut off linearly in the bending area before or after its bending, and - wherein the
linear separation area is then filled by means of a plastic profile or a plastic
mass, preferably made of polymeric A-material, preferably by means of a melting process. The invention further relates to a panel element, in particular a furniture panel, wood-based panel, worktop, particleboard, lightweight panel, interior panel, door,
fiber cement panel or the like, with a thickness D, comprising at least one coating element, and at least one edge band profile having a width B2 of 5 to 120 mm, preferably 5 to 105 mm. The invention further relates to a method for manufacturing such a panel element, such as a furniture panel and the like.
