What Are ACP Sheets?
- ACP sheet or Aluminium Composite Panel is a new-age cladding
material that’s used for building front elevation (facades),
interiors, signage, modular kitchen and many more. It is
available in a wide range of colours and textures like wood,
stone, sand, 3D etc. And it can be bent, folded and turned
into shapes that can’t be achieved by any other material.
Hence, it allows more ACP sheet design liberty and is thus a
designer’s delight. - ACPs consist of two aluminium sheets bonded to a non-aluminium
core – available in LDPE, FR B1, or FR A2 variants. - Offer excellent rigidity, flatness, thermal resistance, and
lightweight properties.

Different ACP sheet sizes and thicknesses
The standard ACP sheet sizes include 8×4 feet or 2440mm x 1220mm, 10×4 feet or 3050mm x 1220mm, and 12×4 feet or 3660mm x 1220mm. Additionally, ACP sheets come in different thicknesses, ranging from 6mm, 4mm, to 3mm panels. These thicknesses depend on factors such as the thickness of the aluminium coil or skin (ranging from 0.12mm to 0.5mm) and the LDPE or Mineral core (ranging from 2.4mm to 5.5mm). These variations in thickness contribute to different grades of ACP sheets. For most applications, including exterior ACP cladding, interior decoration, signage, and more, the commonly used thicknesses are 3mm and 4mm.
ACP Cladding Applications Across Sectors
ACP Cladding offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, reducing structural load without compromising aesthetics
Exterior CladdingExterior ACP sheets are a popular choice for building cladding, as they are often used for façades, canopies, overhangs, soffits, and other exterior applications. The material's lightweight and durable properties make it an excellent option for covering vast areas and achieving a contemporary, streamlined appearance.
Interior CladdingInterior ACP sheets are a versatile material that finds use in a variety of interior cladding applications, such as partitions, false ceilings, cupboards, table tops, wall panels, column covers, and more. With a vast range of colors and finishes provided by Aludecor, the creative design possibilities are endless.
Signage and AdvertisingACP sheets are popular for use in outdoor signage, kiosks, totems, POPs, fascia and advertising etc., due to their weather resistance and durability.
Furniture and CabinetsACP sheets can also be used for furniture such as modular kitchens and cabinet design, as they are easy to shape and cut. ACP sheets are available in a variety of textures and finishes that can be used for custom furniture design.
TransportationACP sheets can be used in transportation applications, such as ACP cladding for bus bodies, trains, Metro rails, and other vehicles.
Industrial ApplicationsACP sheets are also used in industrial applications, including machine covers, paneling, and enclosures.
Aludecor’s ACP Sheets are crafted in India,
tested to global benchmarks.
When it comes to selecting the right ACP sheet thickness for different application areas, Aludecor understands the critical role it plays. The thickness of ACP sheets directly influences their suitability for specific projects, particularly in relation to wind load. Thicker ACP sheets, ranging from 3mm to 6mm, provide enhanced structural integrity and durability, making them an excellent choice for areas with higher wind loads, such as high rise buildings or locations exposed to strong winds.
These sheets offer superior strength and can withstand the forces exerted by wind, ensuring the longevity and stability of the cladding or façade system. On the other hand, thinner ACP sheets, typically 3mm, are lighter and more suitable for applications like signage, display boards, and interior design, where wind load considerations may be relatively lower. Aludecor’s range of ACP sheets offers various ACP sheet thickness options to cater to different project requirements, providing optimal performance and peace of mind in terms of wind load resilience.
