The use of aluminium composite panel can be traced back decades. However, a tragic incident in 2017 - the Grenfell Tower fire in London — drew worldwide attention to this product. The old-style aluminium composite material used on the building's front was largely responsible for the fire's rapid spread.
This incident not only made the ACP sheet popular but also raised questions about its usability and safety. Nevertheless, following that incident, a number of measures were taken to lessen the risk associated with combustible cladding.
What Is an ACP Sheet?
Aluminium composite panel, often known as ACP sheet, is a
sandwich acp panel made up of three layers: aluminium sheet, FR Core, and aluminium sheet. In addition to these three primary layers, there are multiple more films and layers, such as protective film, paint coating, and adhesive layers, to name a few. All of these substances work together to make ACP an ideal robust building material that gives incredible strength to the structure.
Furthermore, the ACP sheet's stunning multiple finishes and surfaces make it suitable for both interior and exterior applications.
Interior ACP sheets, for example, can be used for interior walls, interior decoration, fall ceiling, wall panel, kitchen cabinet, modular kitchen, flash doors, partitions, and so on.
Likewise,
exterior ACP sheets can be used for a variety of applications such as commercial construction, beam cover partitions, signboards, multistory apartments, canopies, elevators, fake ceilings, spandrel panels, and display units, among others.
Moreover, these panels can be further classified based on their surface and application, such as partition panels, marble ACP sheets, mirror ACP sheets, and wooden ACP sheets, to name a few. In addition to interior and exterior aluminium composite panels, digital ACP sheets are available too.
