In recent years, laminated metal sheets have become extremely popular in the field of architectural decoration. So what exactly is a laminated metal sheet? What is the difference between it and ordinary metal sheets and laminated sheets? Let’s talk about this topic today.
Material Overview
Laminated metal sheets are actually a new type of material. They are made by degreasing metal sheets (such as aluminum-plastic sheets, stainless steel sheets, cold-rolled sheets, and galvanized sheets) and then hot-pressing them with environmentally friendly decorative films. This material is particularly used in business office buildings, airports, hotels, banks, hospitals and other places, and is simply a “star” in the decoration industry.
Material properties
Corrosion and impact resistance: This sheet is resistant to solvents, acids and alkalis, and is not afraid of sunlight exposure, will not fade or crack, and has a very long service life. The base material is also very tough, has strong pressure resistance, and can be directly processed.
Moisture-proof: The surface coating reduces the direct contact between water and the base material, ensuring that the walls and cabinets are dry and will not produce mildew spots.
Stain-resistant, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean: The surface is flat and smooth, with a large format and few joints. It is not easy to be contaminated and is easy to clean. The surface hardness of the laminate used for building decoration reaches more than 3H and is not easy to scratch.
Easy to form: This material has good elasticity and plasticity, can be quickly stamped, and can also be processed in various ways such as bending, and the cross-sectional form can be changed according to the customer’s design requirements.
Fire resistance and water resistance: The fire resistance reaches A2 and B1 levels, meeting the fire protection requirements. The material is dense, has low water absorption, and is not easy to deform.
Many colors: The color film on the surface can be specially customized, and there are many colors and patterns to choose from.
Green and environmentally friendly, easy to install: It realizes the systematization and modularization of indoor wall panel installation, which is fast, simple, green and environmentally friendly. It is a new decorative wall material selected by designers.
Material texture
The surface texture is rich and varied, with various colors, natural and realistic texture, and delicate and real texture. Common natural textures include wood grain, stone grain, leather grain, solid color, etc.
Application Cases
Architecture: It can be used on walls, ceilings, and floors.
Hospital: It is widely used in hospital decoration. From operating rooms to corridors, 80% of them will use laminated metal sheets as the main material.
School: School design chooses materials that are dirt-resistant, wear-resistant, and easy to clean, while also controlling costs. The advantages of laminated metal sheets are highlighted.
Hotels and sales offices: This type of space has high requirements for the selection of materials. Color, texture, and texture must create a sense of luxury. In addition, fire protection and other issues must also be strictly reviewed. The selection of materials is particularly challenging for the designer’s ability.
Medical: Due to the particularity of medical space, there are extremely high requirements for antibacterial, mildew-proof, and wear-resistant aspects. Laminated metal sheets solve these problems well.
In general, the charm of laminated metal sheets lies in their versatility and aesthetics. No wonder they are becoming more and more popular in the field of architectural decoration!
