Formica Canada Extends Decometal® Laminate Line With New Collection Of Warm Metal Tones

Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada, October 26, 2020 — Aligning with warmer metals trending in commercial design, Formica Canada released several new additions to the company’s popular DecoMetal® Metal Laminate collection. Thirteen new metal visuals add warm tones of brass, copper, light gold and black, providing designers with a full-spectrum toolbox of 37 metal laminate designs for architectural interiors. 

“These new additions are rich, warm and embrace beautiful metal effects, like weathered patina and oiled looks,” said Renee Hytry Derrington, managing principal at Formica North American Design. “With these additions, the DecoMetal® Metal Laminate line truly offers a comprehensive array of trending metal designs that work well in spaces that require warmth and a touch of class.”

PRINTED SOLID METAL
New to the DecoMetal® laminate offering, solid metal aluminum sheets are artistically printed with stunning visuals enhanced by a metal sheen base.

Dark Rolled Steel: A black oiled effect on darkened steel.

Brass Patina: An elegant gold patina.
Copper Patina: A varicolored burnished copper patina.
