About 5mm ACP Cladding
5mm Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP) cladding is a thick, durable option used primarily for demanding exterior applications, such as high-rise building facades, industrial areas, and large signage, where enhanced strength, impact resistance, and weather resistance are required. While 4mm is a common standard, 5mm offers superior performance in high-stress environments.
Durable and Safe ACP Cladding SolutionDesigned for longevity and safety, this 5mm ACP cladding incorporates a non-toxic core and optional fire-retardant grade, making it suitable for demanding environments. Its weatherproof finish and robust material properties help maintain structural integrity and appearance over time.
Versatile Applications in Modern ArchitectureIdeal for both exterior and interior wall cladding, facades, partitioning, and signage, these panels provide reliable protection and aesthetic appeal. The lightweight nature and precise dimension tolerances ensure easy installation and seamless integration.
Certified Performance and Environmental ResistanceMeeting ASTM, EN, and IS 12592 certification standards, these panels feature strong corrosion and pollution resistance, UV protection, and a high-quality PVDF/PE surface. Rigorous testing confirms their effectiveness in harsh climates, ensuring long-term serviceability.
FAQ's of 5mm ACP Cladding:
Q: What are the key benefits of using 5mm ACP cladding for wall applications?
A: The 5mm ACP cladding provides superior weather resistance, sound insulation up to 25 dB, and fire retardancy, while being lightweight and easy to install. Its corrosion and pollution resistance, alongside a non-toxic core, make it a safe and durable choice for modern architectural surfaces.
Q: How is the fire rating of these ACP panels specified and can it be upgraded?
A: The panels come standard with a Class B fire rating, suitable for most general construction needs. For enhanced fire protection, an optional FR (fire-retardant) grade is available if requested during procurement.
Q: Where can 5mm ACP cladding be installed?
A: These panels are designed for versatile use, including exterior and interior wall cladding, facades, signage, partitions, and decorative features in commercial, residential, and institutional buildings.
Q: How does the thermal expansion property affect installation?
A: ACP panels exhibit thermal expansion of 2.4 mm per meter at 100C. Installers should account for this by leaving suitable gaps and using compatible fixing systems to prevent panel deformation or buckling in high-temperature conditions.
Q: What is the process for maintaining ACP cladding panels over their service life?
A: Regular cleaning with mild agents, inspection for surface damage, and checking sealants and joints help preserve the integrity and appearance. With standard maintenance, the panels offer a service life exceeding 15 years.
Q: What certifications and standards do these panels comply with?
A: The ACP cladding conforms to key international and Indian standards, including ASTM, EN, and IS 12592, ensuring quality, safety, and consistent performance across diverse environments.
Q: Can the ACP panels be customized for color or coating thickness?
A: Yes, customization options are available for surface color (such as grey and other shades) and protective film types (single or double-sided). Coating thickness ranges from 18 to 28 microns, with PE or PVDF options to suit specific project needs.
