What was once considered to be harsh and overbearing is now something to keep.
By Andie Lowenstein, Associate Editor
What was once considered to be harsh and overbearing is now something to keep. Chemetal is an immense collection of more than 200 metal and laminate designs perfect for commercial and residential interiors.
The company released 24 new designs for 2015, the largest introduction of metal laminates in recent history. The latest designs cover the extent of Chemetal’s product line, featuring new designs in almost every product category. New additions include aged subway tile patinas, glowing mother of pearl-esque aluminums, richly textured HPL metal laminates and aged brass, copper and steel architectural metals in easy to produce aluminum.
Many of Chemetal’s designs are made in the company’s Easthampton, MA, facility. The collection includes brushed aluminums, oxidized brass and copper designs, HPL metal laminates, tinted metals, perforated patterns and more. The new designs are available in 4’ x 8’ and 4’ x 10’ sizes, as well as a
few 2’ x 8’ sizes. Many contribute to LEED with up to 85 percent recycled materials as well as regional credits.
Chemetal is recommended for light-duty horizontal applications only. It should not be used on counter-tops or any surface with heavy-duty use as materials can scratch and dent and can’t be cleaned with any harsh cleaning products. The coatings and anodized aluminums make Chemetal solely for indoor applications.
