Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) is a modern building material made of two thin layers of aluminium sheets bonded to a non-aluminium core, typically polyethylene (PE) or a fire-retardant (FR) core. It is lightweight, durable, and offers excellent rigidity, making it a popular choice for both interior and exterior architectural applications.
Advantages of Aluminium Composite Panel:
Lightweight and Strong
ACPs are extremely lightweight compared to other materials like steel or wood but provide high strength and durability.
Weather and Corrosion Resistant
ACPs are resistant to water, heat, UV rays, and corrosion, making them ideal for outdoor use.
Aesthetic Appeal
Available in a wide range of colors, textures, and finishes (such as metallic, wood, stone, mirror), ACPs offer high design flexibility.
Easy to Install and Maintain
ACP sheets are easy to cut, bend, shape, and install. They require minimal maintenance — usually just regular cleaning.
Thermal and Sound Insulation
The core material helps in reducing heat and sound, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort.
Cost-Effective
Compared to other façade materials, ACPs offer a more economical solution with high-end appearance.
Fire-Resistant (FR Grade)
Fire-retardant grade ACPs provide better protection against fire hazards, meeting safety regulations.
Uses of Aluminium Composite Panel:
Building Façades and Cladding
Widely used for exterior wall cladding and façade design in commercial and residential buildings.
Interior Decoration
Used in wall panels, false ceilings, partitions, and modular kitchen designs.
Signage and Advertising Boards
Ideal for making signboards, display boards, shop signs, and digital prints due to their smooth surface.
Corporate Branding
Commonly used for storefronts, brand panels, and company nameplates.
Transportation Industry
Used in the bodies of buses, trains, and trucks due to its lightweight and durability.
Furniture
Sometimes used in modern furniture for aesthetic and structural purposes.
