Metal Laminate on Flat Cut Acrylic

Metal lamination is created when a thin metal layer is applied to the acrylic or PVC foam. This is done using an adhesive backing or a heat-activated process to bond the metal layer securely to the base. 

This can be customized by choosing a brushed finish to match the requirements of the customers. This process enhances the appearance of the base material by adding a metallic sheen and can provide additional durability and protection against weathering and scratching.
