Decorative metals draw the eye and will heighten hospitality, corporate reception lobbies, and workplace settings

Travel has been on the upswing in recent years thanks to pent-up demand for leisure and business, and even more so with the “bleisure” segment growing in popularity. The hospitality market is booming, meaning new builds and property refreshes are happening more frequently. This keeps designers busy, and they are loyal to products they know will check all the boxes regarding aesthetics, installation, and cost. 

With its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability features, decorative metals produced in sheets are ideal for facility managers and designers looking to elevate the sense of luxury in hospitality projects and to complement business entertainment settings everywhere from California to Maine.  

Manufacturers like Chemetal meet this need in the hospitality market and upscale business reception and entertainment settings, standing out for unique product composition. Crafted from softer metals like aluminum, Chemetal products easily can be cut with woodworking equipment. This simplifies the fabrication process and reduces costs by eliminating the need for specialized metal fabricators. With decorative metals, facility managers and designers achieve the aesthetic appeal of the real versions with the working convenience of less-rigid materials, making it a reliable option in a variety of hospitality applications.

From corporate lobbies to hotel reception, guest rooms, bars, and restaurants, these metals find their place wherever eye-catching design is desired. Their ability to seamlessly blend with different interior styles allows designers to expand their creativity and transform spaces into charming environments that leave a lasting impression on clients and guests, leading to repeat visits.

Sustainability is another key consideration for facility managers and designers and that is where a supplier like Chemetal stands apart. As a manufacturer, Chemetal supports professionals in making eco-friendly choices. An approved MINDFUL MATERIALS manufacturer, Chemetal also offers several products that contribute to LEED credits, fulfilling goals for green certifications.

Metals, especially aluminum, are among the most recycled materials on the planet in terms of recycling/reuse. With some offerings containing up to 85% recycled content, Chemetal minimizes waste and reduces the demand for virgin materials, making it a sustainable option. Additionally, unlike many plastics, resins, and other commercial interior products, Chemetal is not petroleum-based. This reduces reliance on finite fossil fuels and minimizes the environmental impact associated with petroleum extraction and processing.

With their ability to enhance design aesthetics, simplify fabrication, and contribute to environmental stewardship, decorative metals make a difference in design and planning.
