From our experience in the industry, Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) are among the most trusted materials for contemporary construction due to their durability and design flexibility. Whether used on exterior facades or for interior design, ACP sheets stand out for their durability, light weight, and modern appearance. But the real magic lies in the installation process, which ensures durability and a flawless finish.
At Girdhar Roll Wrap Ltd., we have years of experience in handling ACP sheets—from manufacturing protective films to supporting proper installation techniques. In this guide, we’ll share the step-by-step ACP sheet installation process based on our expertise, so you can achieve professional results every time.
Why Proper ACP Sheet Installation Matters
Before moving to the steps, it’s important to understand why installation is key:
- Durability—Correct installation increases the life of ACP sheets.
- Aesthetic Finish—Smooth joints and even alignment improve the overall look.
- Safety—Properly fixed panels can withstand wind loads, temperature changes, and daily wear.
- Cost efficiency reduces the chances of errors and replacements.
Tools and Materials Required for ACP Sheet Installation
From our professional experience, these are the essentials you must have before beginning:
- Measuring tape and leveler
- Drill machine and screws
- Rivets or clamps
- Aluminum framework (MS or aluminum sections)
- Sealants and adhesive tapes
- Protective film for ACP sheets (to prevent scratches during installation)
Step-by-Step ACP Sheet Installation Process
Here’s the process we recommend based on industry standards and our hands-on expertise:
1. Site Preparation
- Inspect the wall or surface where the ACP sheets will be installed.
- Ensure it is clean, level, and strong enough to hold the aluminum framework.
2. Framework Installation
- Fix aluminum or mild steel frames vertically and horizontally on the wall.
- This acts as the base structure to hold ACP sheets.
- Always check alignment with a leveler.
3. Panel Cutting and Grooving
- Measure the ACP sheets according to the required size.
- Cut panels with precision tools for clean edges.
- Groove the panels if bending is required for corners.
4. Fixing the ACP Sheets
- Position the ACP sheet on the framework.
- Secure it with rivets, screws, or clamps.
- Maintain proper spacing between panels for thermal expansion.
5. Sealing and Finishing
- Apply sealant in the joints to avoid water leakage.
- Remove excess adhesive for a neat look.
- Keep the protective film on until the project is completed to avoid scratches.
