Claim 11:
12. A method to produce a building panel, the method comprising:
providing a substrate,
applying a decorative layer onto the substrate,
applying only a single thermoplastic layer, wherein the single thermoplastic layer is applied directly onto the decorative layer, wherein the single thermoplastic layer consists essentially of a thermoplastic material, wear resistant particles substantially encapsulated into the thermoplastic material, and optionally scratch resistant particles and/or additives, and
pressing the substrate, decorative layer, and the single thermoplastic layer together, thereby forming a building panel,
wherein a top surface of the single thermoplastic layer directly attached to the decorative layer, which has the encapsulated wear resistant particles, is directly pressed against a pressing device having portions with different gloss levels, such that the top surface of the single thermoplastic layer obtains portions having different gloss levels after pressing, the single thermoplastic layer being substantially transparent
wherein the pressing device is one of a pressing cylinder, a pressing belt, and a press plate,
further comprising forming embossed portions in the top surface of the single thermoplastic layer, the embossed portions in the top surface of the single thermoplastic layer each having a depth exceeding 100 μm.
