ALUMINIUM COMPOSITE PANEL
Aluminium Composite Panel or ACP is a new age material that’s used for building exteriors, interior applications and signage. It is available in a wide range of colours and finishes like wood, stone, dual-tone etc. And it can be bent, folded and turned into shapes that can’t be achieved by any other material. Hence, ACP allows more design liberty, and is thus a designer’s delight.
