Understanding Metal Laminates
Metal laminates are decorative surfaces created by combining the great look of real metal with the practicality of a laminate backing.
In the NuMetal collection, a thin sheet of genuine aluminum, copper or stainless steel is fused to a laminate core, giving you authentic metallic finishes that are lightweight, durable and easier to work with than solid metal sheets.
The Fusion collection takes the concept to the next step by adding patterns and artwork to be directly to the metal. This process opens up design possibilities while still being easy-to-install like the traditional laminates.
Whether you’re drawn to the polished, brushed or embossed surfaces of NuMetal or the creative and unique finishes of Fusion, both offer a way to incorporate metal into your design without the weight or cost of full metal panels.
Using Metal Laminates in Residential and Commercial Design
Metal laminates are designed to bring a modern touch and metallic finish to almost any interior surface, making them a favorite among homeowners, designers and contractors. Whether you want a small accent or a full statement wall, these laminates are a great fit in both residential and commercial projects.
Kitchens & Bathrooms
Metal laminates are a natural choice for kitchens and bathrooms because of their sleek look and easy-to-clean surfaces. Use them as:
- Backsplashes that reflect light and add depth, whether in polished stainless steel for a professional chef’s feel or brushed copper for a warm and rustic look.
- Cabinet fronts that transform ordinary storage into a design feature, perfect for creating contrast against wood or painted cabinetry.
- Bathroom wall panels that add style to moisture-prone areas, perfect for a luxurious spa-like look.
They’re resistant enough for everyday wear while still delivering that high-end finish.
Living Spaces
If you’re looking to add drama or modernity, metal laminates can completely change the mood of a room. Consider:
- Feature walls with textured or patterned laminates to act as a focal point in living rooms or bedrooms.
- Home bars finished with brushed aluminum, bronze or copper for a contemporary yet cozy feel.
- Entertainment centers where reflective finishes help highlight lighting while adding a polished touch.
With so many textures and tones available, you can create anything from an industrial loft look to a glamorous Art-Deco style lounge.
Retail & Hospitality
Commercial spaces are where metal laminates really shine. They balance durability with high-impact design, making them ideal for:
- Point-of-sale counters that catch the customer’s eye and reinforce a brand’s modern identity.
- Displays and shelving that add a luxurious or industrial look without requiring heavy metal fabrication.
- Reception desks and lobbies where first impressions matter. Laminates in polished, embossed or graphic finishes create a welcoming yet professional atmosphere.
Because laminates are lightweight, they’re easier to update or replace than solid metal installations, making them a practical choice for business spaces.
Office Spaces
Workplaces benefit from materials that look sharp while staying practical. Metal laminates check both boxes. They’re often used for:
- Sleek partitions that divide open offices with a modern aesthetic.
- Wall cladding in conference rooms or hallways to create a clean and professional backdrop.
- Accent panels that highlight entrances, signage or collaborative zones.
The variety of finishes, from subtle brushed steel to bold artistic Fusion designs, means offices can customize the atmosphere, whether they want understated elegance or a standout personality.
Since they’re thin, durable and lightweight, metal laminates work almost anywhere you’d normally install decorative laminates, and as they’re designed with interiors in mind, you don’t need to worry about complex metalworking or high installation costs.
Imagine the impact of brushed copper wrapping a home bar, stainless steel lining the front of a reception desk or a custom Fusion panel adding a burst of color to a feature wall. With metal laminates, bold design ideas are easier than ever to bring to life.
