Aluminium composite panel also know as ACP panel, is a favoured architectural material chosen to improve both the visual appeal and practical aspects of buildings. Comprising two aluminium sheets bonded to a core, typically made of polyethylene (PE) or fire-retardant (FR) mineral-filled material, this panel is extensively utilized in constructing contemporary facades and various other architectural components. Consequently, it has emerged as a crucial solution in 21st-century architectural design.
Compared to other cladding materials, Alcadex panels are notably lightweight. This characteristic simplifies both transport and installation processes, while also offering a significant advantage for the rehabilitation of load-sensitive façades by reducing the overall load imposed on the building structure.
FR panels are fire retardant and A2 panels are non-combustible. Neither type emits smoke nor releases burning particles. Both contribute to enhancing fire safety on ventilated façades by facilitating the containment of fire.
Aluminium inherently possesses corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the quality and properties of the specific treatments and paint utilized by Alcadex in its manufacturing process contribute significantly, ensuring the overall durability of the panels.
Alcadex panels maintain their aesthetic appeal and vibrant colors over time, thanks to protective coatings specifically designed to resist discoloration caused by prolonged sun exposure.
These panels are engineered to withstand loads from multiple directions without deforming or breaking easily. This makes them highly suitable for façade applications, where resistance to bending forces is necessary due to adverse weather conditions or handling during installation.
Alcadex has established a system to recycle and reuse waste generated during the manufacturing and installation of aluminium panels, reincorporating both the core and aluminium back into the production process. This promotes the circular economy and reduces the environmental footprint.
The air gap between the exterior wall and the cladding functions as a thermal buffer. This reduces heat loss during winter and minimizes building overheating in summer, contributing to a more comfortable interior temperature and significantly improving the building’s energy efficiency.
The multi-layer structure of these panels, combined with the air gap between the façade and the wall, functions as an acoustic barrier. This reduces the transmission of external noise into the building’s interior, thereby enhancing comfort within interior spaces.
Thanks to their weather resistance, Alcadex panels are easy to clean and require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for outdoor applications where access might be limited.
Alcadex aluminum composite panels are available in four standard widths: 1220, 1250, 1500, and 1570 millimeters, with a maximum length of 6000 millimeters. We can provide aluminum composite panel solutions in various dimensions, thicknesses, and surface coating treatments according to your project requirements, all aimed at ensuring the perfection of your project.
For wholesale clients, customized processing can be a significant challenge, especially for sign board clients. In addition to wholesale ACP boards, we also offer panel processing services for aluminum panels or aluminum composite sheets. These services include cutting, punching, grooving, CNC machining, and fittings for aluminum composite panels; as well as welding, anodizing, and painting for aluminum sheets.
No matter what processing services you require, we can execute them with precision.
