The invention relates to a method for fabricating a decorative laminate panel, wherein the decorative laminate panel includes a decorative laminate layer and a core. The method is achieved by forming a decorative laminate of a predetermined size, placing the decorative laminate within a die cavity, injection molding the core within the die cavity while the decorative laminate remains within the die cavity to form a decorative laminate panel and releasing the formed decorative laminate panel from the die cavity. The invention further relates to a decorative laminate panel manufactured in accordance with the method defined above and a unitary edge profile member adapted for use in the fabrication of a compound injection molded decorative laminate panel.

1. A method for fabricating a substantially planar, decorative laminate flooring panel, wherein the decorative laminate flooring panel includes a decorative laminate layer composed of a decorative laminate wear surface, a core, and an edge profile shaped and dimensioned for interlocking engagement with other flooring panels, the method comprising the following steps: forming a decorative laminate wear surface of a predetermined size; placing the decorative laminate wear surface within a die cavity; the die cavity being shaped and dimensioned for creating an interlocking edge profile along the outer periphery of the resulting flooring panel; injection molding the core within the die cavity while the decorative laminate wear surface remains within the die cavity to form a decorative laminate flooring panel including a decorative laminate wear surface, a core, and an edge profile shaped and dimensioned for interlocking engagement with other flooring panels; and releasing the formed decorative laminate flooring panel from the die cavity. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the core is composed of a material chosen from the group consisting of filled plastics, unfilled plastics, ceramics, fibers, polymeric foams, and combinations thereof. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of forming includes cutting a decorative laminate sheet to a predetermined size to form a cut decorative laminate wear surface. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the decorative laminate flooring panel includes a backing layer, and the method includes the further step of placing the backing layer within the die cavity. 5. The method according to claim 4, including the step of forming at least one edge profile member and placing the at least one edge profile member between the decorative laminate wear layer and the backing layer within the die cavity for use in the formation of the decorative laminate flooring panel. 6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the edge profile member is formed from a material chosen from the group consisting of vinyls, polyolefins, styrenics, polyamides, polyimides, polyethers, polyesters, acrylics, acetals, thermoplastic olefins, thermoplastic urethanes, thermoplastic elastomers, epoxies, polyurethanes, phenolics and melamines. 7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the edge profile member is formed from acrylic-butadiene-styrene. 8. The method according to claim 5, wherein the step of forming the edge profile member includes injection molding the edge profile member. 9. The method according to claim 4, wherein the backing layer is formed by the additional step of cutting a decorative backing layer to a predetermined size to form a cut backing layer. 10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the decorative laminate flooring panel includes a backing layer, and the method includes the further step of placing the backing layer within the die cavity. 11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the edge profile member is formed from a material chosen from the group consisting of vinyls, polyolefins, styrenics, polyamides, polyimides, polyethers, polyesters, acrylics, acetals, thermoplastic olefins, thermoplastic urethanes, thermoplastic elastomers, epoxies, polyethanes, phenolics and melamines. 12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the edge profile member is formed from acrylic-butadiene-styrene. 13. The method according to claim 10, wherein the step of forming the edge profile member includes injection molding the edge profile member. 14. The method according to claim 10, wherein the step of placing includes positioning the edge profile member beneath the decorative laminate wear layer such that it defines an outer edge of the formed decorative laminate flooring panel.
