DecoMetal Laminate 2022 Brushed Aluminum 85 Grade 8 x 10

DecoMetal Laminate Sample For Interior Design

DecoMetal laminate sample gives you a manageable piece of Formica Corporation 2022 Brushed Aluminum metal laminate to review finish and sheen before specifying full panels, which helps align material choice with the visual direction of a project. The 8 x 10 size concentrates the Grade 85 surface so you can see how the brushed aluminum pattern reads across both short and slightly longer sightlines, supporting decisions about layout on doors, panels, or casework faces. The metal face is part of the DecoMetal metal laminate family, so this sample reflects the same aesthetic characteristics used on full-size sheets in that series, allowing finish decisions to match installed work. Using the 2022 Brushed Aluminum design in a controlled sample format helps teams discuss color, reflectivity, and grain movement directly around the actual product surface.

Key Formica DecoMetal Sample Details

• The 2022 Brushed Aluminum design presents a brushed aluminum metal surface, which provides a read on grain direction so you can plan orientation and joint alignment in vertical interior applications.
• The Grade 85 construction is described as .040 inch (1.0 mm), which represents a specific thickness that helps you anticipate edge buildup and transitions when pairing this surface with adjacent materials.
• The DecoMetal metal laminate face is aluminum sheet, which shows how a true metal surface will interact with project lighting and nearby finishes on walls, panels, or fixtures.
• The laminate features a phenolic back, which indicates a stable backing layer that resists creasing so you can handle, cut, and present the sample without distorting the visible metal face.
• The phenolic back also allows for improved adhesion to substrates, giving you a realistic indication of how the metal laminate is intended to bond in installed vertical interior work.

Vertical Metal Laminate Detail Review And Fit

The DecoMetal laminate sample is engineered for vertical interior applications, so the 2022 Brushed Aluminum surface you see represents the appearance you can expect on doors, wall panels, and casework faces in those orientations. The .040 inch (1.0 mm) Grade 85 construction provides a sense of material presence and potential reveal height where the laminate will meet adjacent surfaces, which is useful when coordinating with trim or adjoining laminates. The phenolic back prevents creasing, allowing repeated handling during client meetings, mockups, and finish boards without compromising the face, so the surface continues to represent installed conditions. Because the phenolic back allows for improved adhesion to substrates, the sample also reflects how the system is designed to work when laminated to appropriate backers in vertical interior use.

Using This 2022 Brushed Aluminum Laminate

Where This DecoMetal Laminate Sample Applies

This DecoMetal laminate sample is engineered for vertical interior applications, so it aligns with wall cladding, column wraps, casework fronts, and similar upright surfaces where a metal aesthetic is desired. The 2022 Brushed Aluminum design presents a brushed aluminum appearance, making it suitable for spaces that benefit from a linear metallic visual, such as reception areas or display environments. The Grade 85 .040 inch (1.0 mm) construction offers a sense of how the laminate will occupy space on vertical faces, which is important when coordinating with other surfacing materials in the same plane. The phenolic back stabilizes the metal face against creasing during handling or evaluation, so the surface condition observed on the sample continues to represent typical vertical interior service.

Why Grade 85 And Phenolic Back Matter

The Grade 85 designation with .040 inch (1.0 mm) thickness indicates a structured metal laminate that delivers a consistent feel, which helps predict how edges, reveals, and panel transitions will read in completed vertical interior work. This thickness also supports planning for how the laminate interacts with reveals, channels, or trim elements that sit against the metal surface. The phenolic back prevents creasing of the aluminum sheet, helping maintain a flat face as the sample is passed between design, estimating, and installation teams. That same phenolic back allows for improved adhesion to substrates, giving practical insight into how the DecoMetal laminate is intended to function as part of a bonded panel assembly in real projects. Together, these characteristics show how the 2022 Brushed Aluminum surface integrates visually and structurally into vertical interior applications.
