Aluminium Composite Panels have proven to be the Architect's muse lately, thanks to the extensive use cases that involve ACP sheets. Easy to work with, it naturally becomes the first go-to product for building and facade elevation. The sheer aesthetics of ACP sheets are not the only reason for its massive popularity in the facade elevation sector. Here are 16 advantages of using Aluminium Composite Panels as a cladding material. Read also: Why buying ACP sheets are beneficial for your Project? Easy Workability: Aluminium Composite Panels are very easy to work with. ACP sheets have excellent flexibility that enables it to be bent, fold and turned easily. This gives an opportunity for ACP sheets to be widely used to clad buildings, facades and different interior and exterior cladding. No Crack Risk: ACP panels are also known to have impressive elongation properties. It ensures that there are no surface cracks. The application of ACP sheets on surfaces thus tends to last longer than any other cladding materials. Minimizing the risks of cracking, ACP sheets ideally become the number one cladding material for modern architectures. Unparalleled Flatness: ACP sheets showcase a minimal undulation rate. It ensures that the application becomes smooth and serene. Surfaces clad with ACP sheets look linear and modern with clean finishes. Impressive Aesthetics: Aluminium Composite Panels are available in a wide range of shades, tones, textures and patterns. Starting from solid colours, reflective mirror finishes, 3D finishes, matte finishes, and glossy finishes to wood and stone-inspired patterns - ACP sheets can be customized with any ACP sheet design that you please. The versatility of ACP sheets is ideal for giving shape to your dream projects. Light in Weight: ACP panels are light in weight and thus are blessed with easy workability. This is why ACP sheets are preferred to clad high-rise buildings and exteriors. The light-in-weight feature also does not add severe structural pressure on buildings. Provides Insulation to Buildings: ACP panels can be used to insulate buildings from rain, weathering and sound pollution. ACP sheets are generally used in Rainscreen facade insulation systems. Rainscreen or ventilated facades can keep the interior of a building cooler, while also saving the building from the effects of weathering. The facades are known to cut off decibel levels, thus offering acoustic insulation. Borer, Termite, and Fungi Resistant: ACP sheets guarantee a permanent solution if you are looking for a Borer, Termite, and Fungi-free environment. There is no scope for these elements to dwell upon ACP sheet surfaces, which in turn, ensures the longevity of this cladding material. Available in Different Thicknesses: ACP sheets are available in an array of thicknesses to suit your design needs. Be it 6mm, 4mm or 3mm thickness - there is always something to suit every cladding requirement. ACP Sheets can be made Fire-Retardant: Aluminium Composite Panels rank high when it comes to safety against fire-related incidents. A mineral core of these sandwich panels can stop the spread of fire. Besides, a fire-retardant mineral core of ACP sheets can also offer added benefits such as zero flaming droplets, no harmful smoke etc. for smooth evacuation during a disastrous fire incident. Anti-microbial Properties: ACP sheets can be fortified with Anti-microbial agents to stop the growth of harmful microbes on the surface. The specially treated surface of ACP sheets can curb health hazards such as bacteria and microbes on the surface and dramatically reduce the risks of cross-contamination. Lead-free Material: Aluminium Composite Panels are made with Lead-free raw materials and later beautified with Lead-free paints. Lead is a proven carcinogenic material that poses serious health threats as well as polluting river water and soil quality. Without a trace of Lead in ACP sheets, it naturally emerges as a harmless cladding material. Fully Recyclable: Aluminium Composite Panels are recyclable. Old claddings can be easily scraped off and used to produce recycled sheets of Aluminium, while the core of these panels can also be re-used. UV Ray Resistant: Aluminium Composite Panels are beautified with PVDF or Polyvinylidene Fluoride resin that has active UV-resistant qualities. When added to paints and applied on the surface of ACP sheets, PVDF offers superior UV Ray resistance. Withstands Extreme Weather Conditions: Need a rugged material for your claddings? Look no further than Aluminium Composite Panels. ACP sheets are able to perform well under extreme weather conditions - be it high altitude temperatures or rugged terrains, ACP sheets can take it all. Easy to Perforate: Perforations look great on facades and buildings, and the best way to achieve a designer façade is with ACP sheet claddings. CNC cut, and perforated designs shine through ACP panels owing to their easy workability aspects. Easy to Clean: Aluminium Composite Panels are effortless to clean and maintain. Try to clean the accumulated dirt with clear water. If the dirt remains, use a soft cloth with a diluted solution of mild soap and clean water to wipe the dirt away. Use clear water again to reveal a clean surface.
