Things to Consider Before Purchasing an ACP Board

The selection of materials is an essential phase in any architectural design. As much as it contributes to the strength and reliability of the structure, the right materials also enhance the aesthetics. It needs little explanation why it would be a dangerous thing to compromise the structural integrity and quality. 

There's a rigorous procedure involved including chemical, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and environmental that decides whether the material is fit to be called best in the construction industry. 

The use of Aludecor's ACP sheets is gradually seeing a rise as one of the most trustworthy cladding materials. So, when it comes to design and innovation, ACP boards are definitely a new-age option. However, given the plentiful choices of ACPs in the market, you need to be aware of the basic factors before buying an ACP board

Let’s have a look at the five golden factors that you cannot miss while deciding on the right ACP board - 

Material or product grade

For someone dealing with ACPs, the grades are definitive enough to understand the quality of the product. With Aludecor, you can select from a broad range of material grades that can fit various applications. Choose from AL-45, AL-43, AL-33, AL-312, AL-33D, AL-32, and AL-63 grades which can be cut into dimensions such as 2440mm X 1220mm, 3050mm X 1220mm, 3660mm X 1220 mm. 

Scope of application

Depending on the application type, you must select the corresponding ACP sheet. With Aludecor, you can get ACPs of 3mm, 4mm, and 6 mm thickness. Whether you will use it for facade, wall cladding, false ceiling, signage, canopy, corporate identity design, or wall panelling - the right ACP can make a difference. And each of these ACP board varieties has a varying price range. 

What is ACP price?

ACP sheet price at Aludecor starts from INR 72. Depending on the series, application, and type, the price varies. 

Colour

You cannot go wrong with the choice of colours when selecting the right ACP board. And by 'right' we mean it should be free of any carcinogenic material as any of Aludecor's paint. We strongly practice the use of lead-free paints for ACP coating which otherwise can impair the nervous system as well as hurt the kidneys. What makes Aludecor's coating special is the use of PVDF resin of Kynar 500/ Heyner 5000 in a 70:30 PVDF and Acrylic Resin ratio. With our 'double coat double bake' line, we produce paint with excellent gloss retention and impeccable surface finish.

Type of texture

Over 350+ shades of ACPs are available with Aludecor. There are both glossy and matte sheets. Choose from various series such as Timber, Wabi Wabi, Rustic, Gloz, Sand, Mirror, and more depending on the look and feel of the project. The fire-retardant feature (with Firewall and Firewall A2 series) is a standalone point that proves why Aludecor is spearheading the ACP industry. As the name suggests, these ACP sheets aid in preventing fire through the buildings and protecting lives and properties.

Certification

For those architects, builders, and fabricators ACP is a new subject, certification is the foremost identifier of the product’s authenticity. At Aludecor, you will get certified fire-retardant ACPs. Aludecor Firewall A2 has Factory Production Control certification from ESL (Emirates Safety Lab). It’s noteworthy that Aludecor Firewall A2 is only available in AL-45 grade. 

There's also Indian Green Building Council certification given the recyclable properties of the ACP sheets.

There’s more…

What makes ACP sheets preferred by architects and designers is their quick delivery and installation properties. With a substantial supply chain management team and an equally strong logistics support system, Aludecor thrives adroitly in this competitive environment.

An SAP-enabled mechanism is our secret to maintaining a seamless chain of order, production and delivery.
