Formica 9958-99 Antique Rubbed Copper Metal is a DecoMetal metal laminate designed as a decorative metal surface for projects that call for the look of copper with laminate handling. This Formica Corporation laminate uses polished, anodized, matte, brushed or mirror aluminum or copper sheet bonded to a phenolic back, so it works as a true metal face with a stable backing layer. The sheet size of 48 x 120 inches gives coverage suited to larger panels or multiple smaller components from a single piece, which supports efficient layout on shop equipment. As a laminate in the Formica HPL family, it fits into surfacing workflows where installers already use high-pressure laminate, while delivering a metal aesthetic.
This Formica metal laminate is engineered for vertical interior applications, so it is intended for walls, casework fronts, or similar upright surfaces where a metal look is desired. The 48 x 120 inch size supports panel layouts that minimize seams on taller walls or allow multiple fronts to be cut from one sheet. With a phenolic back that allows for improved adhesion to substrates, the laminate pairs with standard laminate bonding practices to create a stable assembly. Because the phenolic back prevents creasing, the sheet remains flatter and less prone to damage as it is moved from cutting to bonding to finishing steps in a typical laminate workflow.
This laminate is engineered for vertical interior applications, so it fits projects such as wall panels, column wraps, or cabinet and fixture fronts in interior environments where impact from heavy loads is not the focus. The combination of aluminum or copper sheet with a phenolic back means the decorative face is true metal, while the backing behaves like a laminate core during processing. That construction supports use on typical laminate-ready substrates, tying into existing panel fabrication setups. The 48 x 120 inch sheet size offers coverage for large design elements, which can reduce joints in tall installations. In smaller millwork projects, this same size allows nesting of multiple parts from one sheet, helping material planning. The phenolic back that prevents creasing keeps the face metal more stable as sheets move across benches, saw tables, and racks. That resistance to creasing supports a cleaner finished appearance because the face metal is less prone to unintended bends during normal handling and layout steps.
The phenolic back on this DecoMetal metal laminate allows for improved adhesion to substrates, which means the glue line engages a consistent phenolic surface rather than bare metal. This backing helps installers achieve uniform bonding strength across the entire panel, which supports long-term flatness in vertical interior applications. Because the phenolic back prevents creasing in the metal face, the sheet tolerates the stresses of trimming and routing operations better than unsupported metal of similar thickness. That trait helps maintain a more predictable edge quality after machining, which is important when aligning adjacent panels in decorative runs. The availability of polished, anodized, matte, brushed or mirror aluminum or copper sheet finishes over the same phenolic back means that once a shop dials in a process for cutting and bonding this laminate, it can repeat that workflow across a range of visual looks. By remaining within the Formica HPL and DecoMetal family, the product supports consistent handling characteristics that fit into established laminate fabrication routines for vertical interior work.
This DecoMetal metal laminate uses polished, anodized, matte, brushed or mirror aluminum or copper sheet with a phenolic back, so it provides a metal face bonded to a stable laminate-style backing layer.
This Formica metal laminate is engineered for vertical interior applications, so it is suited to walls, fronts, and other upright interior surfaces where a decorative metal finish is required.
The phenolic back prevents creasing and allows for improved adhesion to substrates, which helps the sheet stay flatter during handling and supports consistent bonding across the panel.
