Aluminium composite panel thickness affects stiffness, flatness, fabrication, fixing, appearance, and project cost. This guide explains how to choose the right ACP thickness for façades, signage, shopfronts, canopies, interiors, and cladding applications.
Aluminium composite panels are widely used in modern façades, shopfronts, canopies, signage, architectural details, and internal wall applications. They are lightweight, visually clean, easy to fabricate, and suitable for many different design styles.
Oil canning is one of the most common visual concerns in metal cladding and aluminium composite panel façades. It usually appears as a wavy, uneven, or slightly distorted surface on the installed panels. In many cases, oil canning is not a sign that the panel has failed. However, it can affect the visual quality of the façade. For architects, developers, contractors, and building owners, this matters because façade appearance is often judged immediately.
