Formica 2178-99 brushed stainless steel metal laminate provides a brushed stainless steel sheet surface bonded to a phenolic back, giving you a decorative metal look with a stable laminate construction that suits finished woodworking and casework projects. The 48 x 120 inch sheet size covers large panel faces in a single run, reducing seams on vertical or light duty horizontal surfaces where a continuous metal appearance is important for a clean finished job. The Grade 84, 0.030 inch (0.8 mm) thickness delivers a metal laminate build that works well in typical laminate fabrication workflows, supporting edge treatment and bonding to common substrates. The phenolic back helps prevent creasing during handling and fabrication, so fabricated panels maintain a smooth face after installation. That same phenolic back improves adhesion to substrates, supporting consistent bond lines and reduced rework in high-visibility installations.
This Formica metal laminate is identified as suitable for vertical and light duty horizontal applications, guiding installers toward wall panels, fronts, and other surfaces that are subject to typical touch rather than heavy abuse. The brushed stainless steel face behaves like a decorative metal sheet, while the phenolic back acts like a laminate core that bonds to a substrate. The 0.030 inch (0.8 mm) thickness fits standard laminate fabrication routines, so cutting, routing, and bonding steps integrate smoothly into established shop workflows when planning layouts and edge details around the 48 x 120 inch sheet size.
This DecoMetal metal laminate, with its brushed stainless steel sheet face, suits vertical decorative applications where a stainless aesthetic is needed as a surfacing layer over a substrate. The 48 x 120 inch format gives coverage for full-height wall panels, column wraps, or tall fixture faces in a single sheet, which helps maintain pattern continuity and minimize visible joints on the finished work. Its suitability for light duty horizontal applications extends its use to tops or ledges that see routine contact without heavy impact loads, aligning this laminate with reception surfaces, display tops, and other lightly used counters. The underlying phenolic back supports these uses by providing a stable laminate base under the stainless surface, promoting flatness on bonded assemblies.
The Grade 84, 0.030 inch (0.8 mm) thickness gives this Formica metal laminate a profile that behaves similarly to high pressure laminate during fabrication, which helps shops apply known cutting and trimming approaches when processing stainless-faced panels. That thickness, carried across a 48 x 120 inch sheet, supports predictable bending behavior during handling, so the sheet works well when moved and positioned onto substrates. The phenolic back reduces the tendency of the metal laminate to crease, so edges and corners stay crisp rather than developing kinks during layout or pressing. Because the phenolic back also improves adhesion to substrates, bonded panels have a uniform support layer under the metal face, helping the finished surface resist telegraphing from minor substrate irregularities in standard vertical and light duty horizontal uses.
Formica 2178-99 brushed stainless steel has a brushed stainless steel sheet face, providing a metal appearance that functions as a decorative surfacing layer over a suitable substrate.
The Formica metal laminate sheet measures 48 x 120 inches, allowing coverage of tall or wide surfaces with fewer seams in vertical or light duty horizontal applications.
The Grade 84 metal laminate has a thickness of 0.030 inch, or 0.8 mm, giving it a laminate-like profile that aligns with typical high pressure laminate fabrication practices.
The Formica laminate uses a phenolic back to prevent creasing and to improve adhesion to substrates, supporting flatter finished panels after bonding and trimming operations.
This Formica metal laminate is recommended for vertical and light duty horizontal applications, aligning it with wall panels, fronts, and lightly used horizontal surfaces.
The DecoMetal metal laminate designation identifies this sheet as a decorative metal laminate, helping coordinate it with other Formica decorative surfacing materials in a project.
The Formica 2178-99 brushed stainless steel metal laminate pairs a stainless sheet surface with a phenolic back, giving you a decorative metal look designed for vertical and light duty horizontal applications. The 48 x 120 inch, Grade 84, 0.030 inch (0.8 mm) format supports efficient panel layout and fabrication. The phenolic back helps prevent creasing and promotes strong adhesion to substrates, contributing to flat, consistent finished surfaces. For projects calling for a brushed stainless appearance as a laminate surfacing solution, this Formica DecoMetal option provides a clearly defined size, thickness, and application range ready to integrate into cabinet, fixture, or interior build workflows.
