ACP SHEETS – a modern Material for stylish and durable building Facades

ACP (Aluminium Composite Panel) sheets have become one of the most popular materials in contemporary architecture, especially for building exteriors and commercial facades. Made by bonding two aluminium layers with a lightweight core, ACP sheets offer a sleek look, long-lasting durability, and flexibility that traditional materials cannot achieve.

Today, ACP is widely seen across tech parks, malls, showrooms, airports, hotels, and modern office buildings. A well-known example is Cyber Towers in Hyderabad, where aluminium cladding gives the structure its iconic, modern appearance. Many corporate hubs like DLF Cyber City, Gurgaon and premium automobile showrooms also rely on ACP for clean, uniform branding and weather resistance.

Beyond aesthetics, ACP sheets protect the building from heat, rain, and pollution while requiring very little maintenance. New fire-retardant ACP (FR-grade) panels are now commonly used in commercial spaces, making them safer for malls, theaters, airports, and high-rise constructions.

Architects prefer ACP because it is easy to shape, bend, cut, and customize. It works beautifully with glass elevations and is often used to create geometric patterns, bold facades, and branded storefronts. Even in homes, ACP is gaining popularity for balcony cladding, gates, compound walls, porch ceilings, and interior wall panels due to its premium finish and low upkeep.

The installation process is quick compared to stone or plaster finishes, making it ideal for fast-track projects. With options like wooden, marble, mirror, brushed metal, and textured finishes, ACP sheets offer endless design possibilities while staying budget-friendly.

Overall, ACP sheets are a smart choice for anyone looking to achieve a modern, polished look with durability, safety, and long-term ease of maintenance.

ACP sheet prices vary depending on thickness, finish, and whether the material is fire-retardant. In India, basic 3mm interior-grade ACP generally costs between ₹50–₹130 per sq ft, while standard 4mm exterior façade sheets fall in the range of ₹65–₹220 per sq ft. Premium and FR-grade ACP panels used in malls, airports, and high-rise buildings can go up to ₹300–₹500 per sq ft depending on the brand. Wood-finish, metallic, marble, and texture-coated ACP sheets usually fall between ₹55–₹150 per sq ft. Prices may vary slightly based on city, supplier, and installation requirements, but these ranges cover most options available in the Indian market.
