3. Product Description
Recommended Uses: Wilsonart Decorative Metals are designed for vertical interior or ceiling applications where a special accent is required or a special mood is desired. The surface of Decorative Metals is that of fine finished metal. The genuine metal material is appropriate for vertical areas in hotel and office lobbies, theaters and restaurants, where its special eye-catching properties add a definite prestigious appeal. Decorative Metals add a visual sense of lightness when used as inserted accent banding in massive casework. These materials also can add a bright touch when used as accent trim in custom furniture, especially in combination with high gloss solid colour laminates, Wilsonart® Custom Edges or Wilsonart® Gibraltar® Solid Surfacing.
A-Look Mirror Quality Decorative Metals are shatterproof, lightweight and unbreakable. Non-distorted mirror reflective qualities make A-Look Decorative Metals perfect for ceilings, walls, columns, safety mirrors and display cases. A-Look EX is recommended for exterior and high humidity areas.
Product Composition:
- Type 401: A-Look Mirror Quality Decorative Metal panels consist of two thin skins of aluminum alloy continuously bonded to a thermoplastic core, then electroplated in a chrome, bronze or gold finish. The gold finish has a clear protective coating to prevent tarnishing.
- Type 416: Artisan Group non-anodized aluminum alloy panels feature textured designs in five patterns applied from border to border, creating a dimensional appearance. Panels are coated with a clear polyester resin to prevent oxidation and protect the beauty of the design.
- Type 418: Decorative aluminum (Types 419 & Type 416) bonded to a phenolic backer for fabrication following HPDL techniques for flat surfaces only. When radius bending is required, Type 419 is recommended.
- Type 419: A solid sheet of aluminum is produced with a decorative, anodized finish and colour on one side. The other side is prepared to facilitate bonding to a suitable substrate. (Keep this surface free of grease, oil or other contaminants.)
- Type 420: The base material for Solid Polished Brass is 70 percent copper, 30 percent zinc. The sheet is coated with a baked synthetic, transparent, protective coating with film properties superior to conventional lacquer. The coating is highly resistant to oxidation, humidity, abrasion and perspiration.
Basic Limitations: All decorative metals are designed for interior applications. Only A-Look Mirror Metals with an "EX" designation are recommended for exterior applications. Reflective value and metal colour may vary depending on type of lighting used. Fluorescent, incandescent and daylight produce slight colour variations.

5. Installation: Fabrication and Assembly Recommendations
For comprehensive fabrication instructions for Metal types 416, 418, 419 and 420, consult the Decorative Metals Fabrication Manual, BR0405.
Fabrication and installation of A-Look Mirror Quality Decorative Metals is easy with tools and machinery normally associated with laminate, metal or woodworking shops. A fabrication manual is available upon request. They are easily applied by using a low- or non-shrink silicone sealant and low-modulus contact cement, or a very high-bond type of double-stick foam tape. Please refer to the manual for comparison to other reflective mirror materials for equivalent rigidity and general properties.
Some points to keep in mind when using A-Look Decorative Metals include:1. Use on vertical surfaces only. Horizontal work surfaces are not recommended.2. A-Look Decorative Metals can be formed using standard roll bending equipment. *3. The protective film should be removed as soon as the application is complete. If the film is left in place after fabrication, exposure to direct sunlight for a prolonged period may cause a paste residue and create other problems.4. For exterior applications, the edge of A-Look EX Decorative Metals should be covered or sealed with aluminum or stainless steel molding (such as H or J mold) using a sealant that does not contain acid or a strong alkaline solution. Interior applications can be butt jointed.Caution: Check adhesive carefully prior to application. When adhesive is used, due to the inherent thermal expansion and contraction ratios, A-Look Decorative Metals may pull toward the base material after installation. It is suggested that you use VHB double-stick foam tape, or a low-modulus silicone or rubberizing contact cement.*Please refer to the A-Look Fabrication Manual (BR410) for complete fabrication details.

7. Maintenance
- Type 401: A-Look Mirror Quality Decorative Metal
For A-Look Mirror Quality Decorative Metals, household cleaners, ammoniated detergents or glass cleaners may be used. When cleaning A-Look Decorative Metals gold-finished panels, use only a soft cloth and normal glass cleaners.
- Types 416 & 420:
For the Artisan Group and Solid Polished Brass surfaces, use only glass cleaners that are free of ammonia and petroleum products.
- Types 418 & 419:
It is recommended that anodized aluminum surfaces be cleaned with warm water and mild soaps such as those used for hands or dishes. Do not use cleaners that contain abrasives, acids or alkalis, as they will mar the surface. After washing, always wipe the surface completely dry with a soft, clean cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a thin, clean oil and dry cloth.
