Formica 9957-99 Oil Rubbed Brass Metal identifies this sheet as part of Formica Corporations Deco br Metal metal laminate collection, so installers get a known laminate system with predictable behavior on commercial projects. The 48x120 metal finish size provides a single large sheet for continuous vertical runs, which helps reduce seams when laying out tall wall panels or casework faces. The oil rubbed brass pattern comes from an expanded Rubbed Brass series, giving designers a brass look that feels aged rather than freshly polished, which supports modern as well as traditional commercial interiors. The Metallic series uses artistically aged and patinated cross brushing, creating visual texture that hides minor handling marks better than a flat metallic look. The collection targets commercial environments, so its styling and scale work well for reception walls, feature panels, and other public-facing millwork surfaces.
Grade 85 - .040 inch (1.0mm) defines this sheet as a relatively thick metal laminate, which gives fabricators more body during handling and helps the panel lie flatter on properly prepared substrates. The Deco br Metal metal laminate is built as polished, anodized, matte, brushed, mirror aluminum or copper sheet with a phenolic back, so the metal face rides on a stable backing rather than bonding metal directly to the core. The phenolic back prevents creasing in normal laminate handling, which supports cleaner results when cutting, transporting, or pressing onto the substrate. That same phenolic back allows for improved adhesion to substrates, giving installers a more predictable bond line when using standard laminate fabrication practices on vertical applications.
The 2024 Deco br Metal Metal Laminate Collection positions this oil rubbed brass sheet within a current design line, so it fits well wherever a coordinated metallic story is needed in commercial interiors. The Metallic series focus means this product suits projects that call for metal surfaces rather than printed metallic colors, giving casework and panels a true metal face. The expanded Rubbed Brass series comes to life with an age-old finishing technique, so the look aligns with spaces that reference traditional brass detailing while still reading comfortably in contemporary designs. Because the distressed metallic effect is stated as ideal for modern as well as traditional commercial environments, the same finish can move from lobby feature walls to more classic conference areas without a jarring change. Recommended use on vertical applications directs it toward wall panels, column wraps, cabinet fronts, and similar surfaces where visual impact matters more than horizontal wear.
The Grade 85 - .040 inch (1.0mm) construction gives fabricators a substantial laminate layer, which supports more controlled trimming and edge finishing compared to very thin metal skins. Deco br Metal metal laminate uses polished, anodized, matte, brushed, mirror aluminum or copper sheet with a phenolic back, giving a stable backing that behaves in a familiar way when pressing to standard substrates. The phenolic back prevents creasing, which helps panels remain smooth from shop work through installation, reducing the risk of visible kinks in high-visibility locations. That same phenolic back allows for improved adhesion to substrates, providing a dependable bond when pressing vertical panels for commercial environments. The luster achieved by hand rubbing real brass foil and softly burnishing the surface means each sheet carries a controlled sheen, helping installers and designers anticipate how light will play across multiple panels in the finished space.
This Deco br Metal metal laminate uses aluminum or copper sheet with a phenolic back, which stabilizes the metal face and supports better adhesion to suitable substrates.
This oil rubbed brass metal laminate is Grade 85 at .040 inch, or 1.0mm thick, giving a solid-feeling sheet that handles like a typical high-pressure laminate during fabrication.
The phenolic back prevents creasing and allows for improved adhesion to substrates, which supports flatter panels and a more consistent bond on vertical applications.
