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.

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.
