How ACP panels helps in wall ventilation and increase building strength

What is ventilated façade? Ventilated façade is a method of construction where a separation is created between the wall of the building and the exterior cladding (or façade) of the building. This gap between the wall and the exterior cladding allows the air to flow. The separation also provides thermal and acoustic insulation to the building. Importance of Cladding The cladding or the skin of the building has undergone a sea change over the past few years. These changes have been made due to the introduction of the pre-engineered structures, highly qualitative and innovative products, and the requirement of speedy project completion and availability of several options. Having the right external cladding has its importance as it provides protection against weather elements, gives the building the external strength, provides ventilation and is energy efficient. Until the introduction of the  ACP panel , the onus of exterior beautification of a building was on the exter...

Aluminium Composite Panels: A cost effective building material

ACP or Aluminium Composite Panels are composites that have layers of aluminium sheets with a polyethylene core sandwiched in between. Extensively being used as a building material, the ACP sheets are considered the most cost-effective solution when compared to other wall covering options like paints. ACP sheets come in a variety of designs, colours, textures and types. The cost of each of these variants is different. The choice of the ideal sheet depends upon your preference and your budget. The  ACP sheet price  also differs based on the quality and brand that you are buying. The  ACP sheet price in India  can be as low as Rs. 50 per square feet with the upper limits differing. This is very low as compared to getting the building painted. Some people may argue that painting a building is cheaper than any other coverage options, especially installing the ACP sheets. But when the evaluated based on the maintenance cost and frequency of change required, the c...
