ACP Panels for Curtain Wall & Facade

Facade ACP panels combine coated aluminium skins with a selected core to create flat, lightweight panels for curtain wall infill, rainscreen cladding and architectural facade components.

Alcadex supplies full sheets and drawing-based factory-processed parts in confirmed panel thicknesses, aluminium skins, coatings, colours, core types and fire-rated constructions.

Aluminium Composite Panel for Facade

Where Facade ACP Panels Are Used

Start with the facade element and exposure, then match the panel construction, coating, finish and processing details to the project specification.

Curtain Wall Infill

Flat ACP panels for opaque curtain wall zones, spandrel areas and coordinated facade modules.

Rainscreen Cladding

Exterior panel faces for elevations, corners, returns and repeated cladding layouts.

Entrances & Canopies

Coated panels for entrance surrounds, canopy fasciae and architectural feature elements.

Soffits & Parapets

Factory-sized or folded components for soffits, parapet covers and edge details.

How to Specify ACP for a Facade Project

The complete panel build should be confirmed together. Coating, core, aluminium skin, dimensions and fabrication drawings affect both appearance and performance.

Decision PointWhat to ConfirmWhy It Matters
ExposureBuilding location, exterior or sheltered position, elevation and climate conditions.Defines the coating and finish route to review.
Face coatingPVDF or another specified exterior coating, colour and gloss level.Supports colour retention and surface protection for the stated exposure.
Core & fire requirementPolyethylene, B1 fire-rated or A2 non-combustible construction as specified.Matches the quoted panel to the required fire classification and documents.
Panel buildOverall thickness, front and rear aluminium skin thicknesses and finished sizes.Controls rigidity, weight and compatibility with the intended fabrication.
FinishSolid, metallic, wood, stone or other approved decorative reference.Coordinates the facade appearance with colour and sample approval.
ProcessingPanel schedule, CNC files, groove details, holes, openings and tolerances.Allows components to be prepared from approved production drawings.

Benefits of ACP for Curtain Wall & Facade Components

lightweight
Lightweight Panel Build

Composite construction provides useful panel rigidity at lower weight than many solid metal sheets of comparable overall dimensions.

durability
Flat Facade Appearance

Controlled lamination supports a smooth, consistent face across repeated elevation modules, corners and architectural feature panels.

High-Definition Aesthetics
Exterior Finish Options

PVDF-coated surfaces are available in solid, metallic and selected decorative finishes for specified exterior exposure conditions.

customization
Fire-Rated Constructions

A2 and B1 panel routes can be reviewed when the enquiry states the required classification and applicable documentation.

business management
Fabrication Flexibility

ACP can be cut, routed, grooved, drilled and prepared for folded components using confirmed drawings and dimensions.

approve
Controlled Approvals

Colour references, finish samples, panel build and processing details can be confirmed before the production specification is released.

Recommended ACP Product Routes for Facades

Choose the product route by exterior exposure, fire requirement and finish. Final construction remains order-specific.

PVDF ACP Panels

Exterior coating options for facade panels requiring durable colour and surface protection.

A2 Non-Combustible ACP

Mineral-core panel route for specifications that require an A2 classified construction.

B1 Fire-Rated ACP

Fire-rated core option for projects that specify B1 performance and matching reports.

Decorative Finish ACP

Wood, stone, solid and metallic appearances for coordinated architectural facade features.

Factory Processing for Facade Components

Facade sheets can be supplied in full sizes or processed from approved panel schedules and fabrication drawings.

ACP Panels Cutting and Sizing

Panel Sizing

Cut sheets and facade blanks to confirmed lengths, widths and quantity schedules.

ACP Panels CNC Routing and Machining

Cassette Routing

Machine repeat profiles, corner notches and openings from approved CNC data.

Grooving and Folding Preparation

V-Groove Preparation

Prepare controlled grooves for folded returns, trays and cassette-style components.

ACP Panel Punching and Drilling

Holes & Openings

Drill or punch specified fixing holes and service openings to drawing dimensions.

Facade Specification and Approval Evidence

Panel Build Confirmation

The quotation identifies the proposed thickness, aluminium skins, core, coating and finish.

Product-Specific Reports

Fire and material documents should correspond to the complete panel construction being offered.

Colour & Finish Approval

Colour codes, gloss levels and decorative references can be checked against samples before production.

Drawing Review

Finished dimensions, machining details and tolerances are confirmed against the approved processing files.

Facade ACP Panel FAQ

Which coating is commonly selected for exterior facades?

PVDF-coated ACP is a common exterior route. The final coating system should match the exposure, colour requirement and project specification.

Which core options are available?

Polyethylene, B1 fire-rated and A2 non-combustible constructions can be reviewed according to the stated fire requirement and documents.

Can facade panels be processed before shipment?

Yes. Cutting, CNC routing, grooving, drilling and punching can be quoted from confirmed drawings, dimensions and tolerances.

How should a facade quotation be prepared?

Provide the project country, exposure, panel build, finish, quantity, dimensions, processing files, packing and document requirements.
