The urban cityscape is incomplete without buildings that showcase modern architecture and unusual designs. Aluminium Composite Panels clad many of these buildings to beautify the exteriors. ACP clad facades and wall designs are a common sight in any city, thanks to a plethora of benefits that ACPs bring with them.
ACPs are long-lasting cladding materials that are inclined towards elongated durability when maintained appropriately. Some ACP sheets are adhered to each other or the building exterior with Silicone-based sealants that tend to bleed over time. Besides, ACPs are constantly exposed to pollution, dust, acidic rainwater, and other environmental factors that tend to degrade its appearance. As a result, the appearances of ACPs may begin to appear dull. Being low maintenance, ACPs can be brought back to their lustrous selves with regular cleaning and maintenance initiatives. Here are some tips for cleaning and maintaining ACPs properly, from Aludecor- India’s most talked-about ACP company.
Cleaning Tips for ACP Sheets
Cleaning is an important step to prolong the shelf life of Aludecor’s exhaustive range of ACPs. Regular cleaning also makes sure that the sheer aesthetics of Aludecor’s ACPs remain intact. The frequency of cleaning thoroughly depends on the soiling rate and environmental condition of the application area.
Tips for Gentle Cleaning
Panels made with ACPs might accumulate dust and other deposits. These panels can be washed off with fresh water. In the case of stubborn dirt, mild soap solution and a soft cotton cloth can be used to wipe it off.
Any detergent that is diluted and has a pH level of 8 can be used. To finish off, clean water along with a little pressure can be applied on the ACP panels. It can later be dried off with a nonabrasive cotton cloth such as linen.
ACP panels should be cleaned in optimum temperature when it is not too cold or too hot as extreme temperatures make the surface dry quickly and retains dirt.
Tips for Paint Retention of ACP Sheets
It should be remembered that ACP panels are lacquered with paints which can come off if MFK based cleaning agents come in contact with the surface. To prevent corrosion, it is strictly advised not to use caustic soda, potassium hydroxide or abrasive scouring mixtures to clean ACP panels.
By following these steps, one can easily take care of ACP Sheets and ensure a well-maintained exterior or facade that shines through, years after years.
