Merino Launches Metalam: Fusing Metal Strength with Laminate Versatility

16 Apr 2025 CW Team

Merino Group has introduced Metalam, a premium metal-finish laminate that merges the raw strength of real metal with the adaptability of decorative laminates.

Lightweight and easy to fabricate, Metalam offers a refined alternative to traditional metal sheets, engineered for vertical and ceiling applications across high-impact spaces.

Crafted using real metal foil bonded with kraft paper core sheets and infused with performance-grade resins, Metalam delivers durability without compromising on aesthetics. It resists stains, dust, heat, and impact, meeting EN 438 standards—making it an ideal choice for spaces requiring both resilience and visual sophistication.

From mirror-finish golds and brushed silvers to deep coppers, Metalam’s finish palette caters to bold and subtle design visions alike. It reflects ambient light to add depth, motion, and dimension to interiors—be it a retail display, hospitality setting, or statement wall in a luxury residence.

Beyond its looks, Metalam is prized by architects and designers for its functionality and ease of maintenance, seamlessly elevating hotel lobbies, cruise interiors, themed zones, and high-end signage with its silent elegance.

Blending the precision of metal with the warmth of design, Metalam stands out as Merino’s tribute to engineered artistry in interior expression.
