Thin yet durable
What is an ACP sheet?
An ACP sheet, or aluminium composite panel, is a versatile building material made of two sheets of aluminium with a core of polyethylene sandwiched between them.
ACP sheets are durable, fire safe and weather-resistant, making them ideal for various applications, including cladding, signage, and interior decoration.
With multiple textures, these claddings elevate your space to a new level.
Moreover, these ACP claddings usually comes with 10 years of warranty*, assuring peace of mind for all customers.
How does an ACP sheet work?
ACP sheets work by combining the strength and durability of aluminium with the flexibility and weather resistance of polyethylene.
The aluminium sheets provide a strong outer layer that protects the core from damage, while the polyethylene core provides insulation and protect the sheet from warping or deforming.
Advantages of ACP sheets
There are many advantages to using ACP sheets, including:
- Easy Installation: ACP sheets are easy to transport and install.
- Bendable: Alstone’s ACP sheets have the ability to bend in any concave and convex shape according to one’s requirement, thus helping architects make them fit into tight spaces like balconies and gates. This helps to save time that would have otherwise been used on cutting the sheets.
- Durable: ACP sheets are durable and can withstand harsh weather, including high winds, rain, and snow.
- Weather resistant: ACP sheets are weather resistant and will not warp or deform in extreme weather.
- Fire resistant: ACP sheets are fire resistant and will not catch fire. Alstons FR (ACP sheets) are A2 & B grade and come with a fire-resistant certification, thus adding an extra layer of security.
- We are also recently ASTM E-119- 20 A2, ASTM E-119- 20 B & NFPA 285:2023 tested & matched the highest safety standards.
- Corrosion resistant: ACP sheets are corrosion resistant and will not rust or corrode in harsh environments.
- Low maintenance: ACP sheets are maintenance-free so you don’t have to worry about cleaning it every now and then.
- Cost-effective: ACP sheets are a cost-effective building material as it lasts for 20 years* which is way more than any other alternative like paint, glass, etc.
Features of ACP sheets
ACP sheets come in a variety of colours and finishes, making them a versatile building material that can be used to create a variety of looks. Alstone FR (ACP sheets) is resistant from: Sound, Weather & also 100% eco-friendly.
Where are ACP sheets used?
ACP sheets can be used in a variety of applications, including:
Cladding, Signage, Interior decoration & many more…
In a nutshell ACP sheets are a versatile and durable material that can be used in a variety of applications. ACP sheets are lightweight, weather-resistant, fire-resistant, corrosion-resistant, low maintenance, and cost-effective.
If you are looking for a durable and versatile building material, ACP sheets are a great option.
Here are additional tips for using ACP sheets:
- When choosing an ACP sheet, it is important to consider the climate and environment in which it will be used. For example, if the sheet will be used in a hot climate, it is important to choose a sheet with a high UV resistance. Alstone’s ACP sheets come with built in UV protection.
- ACP sheets can be easily bent to fit in the place.
- ACP sheets can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surface of the sheet.
