Aluminium Composite
Panel(ACP) is a type of flat panel
that consists of two thinaluminium
sheets bonded to a non-aluminium
core.
ACP is mainly used for external and
internal
architecturalcladding,partitions,
false ceilings, signage etc.
ACP cladding transforms the look of
an otherwise drab structure, making
it aesthetically appealing.

ACP has been used as a lightweight but very sturdy material in

construction, particularly for
transient structures liketrade
showsbooths and similar
temporary elements.
These structures made optimal use
of ACP through its cost, durability
and efficiency. Its flexibility, low
weight and easy forming and
processing allow for innovative
design with increased rigidity and

The most prominent advantage to

cladding a building is the minimal
maintenance required as compared
to painting.
Most external cladding requires
nothing more than regular washing
to maintain its newness.

Aluminium can be painted in any

kind of colour and ACPs are
produced in a range of metallic and
non-metallic colours as well as
patterns that imitate other
materials.
