Chemetal Resist: Where Sophisticated Metal Finishes Meet Everyday Durability
Chemetal’s Resist™ collection rethinks what decorative metal laminates can be in modern commercial interiors.
Designed for spaces where durability matters as much as aesthetics, Resist combines a refined matte metal finish with enhanced No-Fingerprint Scratch Resistance and antibacterial performance — delivering a sophisticated architectural surface engineered for high-traffic environments.
Nº 751 Champagne Resist
Available in three elegant finishes — Stainless, Champagne, and Black — the collection features a subtle short-brush texture that softly reflects light, creating depth and movement without the harsh glare of traditional polished metals.
Nº 750 Stainless Resist
As commercial interiors continue shifting toward warmer, more tactile material palettes, designers are increasingly searching for surfaces that balance luxury aesthetics with long-term durability.
Resist was developed precisely for this intersection — offering the visual richness of metal with the No-Fingerprint and Scratch Resistant practicality required for hospitality, corporate, retail, and public-facing interiors.
Nº 752 Black Resist
Unlike many decorative metal laminates that are susceptible to scratching and fingerprinting, Resist introduces enhanced scratch resistance rated at 1.5N, helping surfaces maintain their appearance in demanding applications such as:
Feature walls
Elevator surrounds
Hospitality millwork
Retail fixtures
Conference room doors
Reception desks
Branded environments
Corporate interiors
Luxury restroom partitions
Cabinetry and integrated panel systems
Three Amazing Resist Patterns:
Beyond aesthetics, Resist also supports the growing demand for wellness-oriented materials in modern interior design. The surface achieves a reported 99% reduction in bacterial growth under ISO 22196 / JIS Z 2801 testing standards, making it especially compelling for high-touch commercial applications where hygiene and material performance are increasingly important considerations
