The Benefits Of Aluminium Composite Panels

Aluminium composite panels are one of the most versatile and practical external wall cladding products. They are lightweight, easy to work with and durable. And of course, they look great.

However, in recent years, aluminium composite panels (ACP) have been getting some bad press.

A 2014 fire in a Docklands high-rise in Melbourne caused $12 million damage and resulted in major compensation lawsuits. In 2017, a fire decimated the Grenfell Tower in London. Both of these fires were attributed to poor-quality ACP products.

Choosing Fire-Resistant Aluminium Cladding

Aluminium cladding products are great for a variety of reasons. They are lightweight and durable, easy to work with and require very little maintenance. They are flexible and versatile and can be used to create an ideal balance between functionality and architectural aesthetics.
