Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) are the face of modern construction—used in building elevations, commercial interiors, and premium signage. But not all ACP sheets are created equal. Low-quality panels may fade, warp, or even compromise safety.

So how do you make the right choice?
Here are 7 key checks to help you identify a high-quality ACP panel, featuring insights from Alumaze, India’s trusted name in premium architectural cladding.

 1. Surface Coating Quality – PVDF or FEVE Finishes

The quality of the top coat determines how long the panel will retain its colour and finish. Look for ACP sheets with PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) or FEVE coatings. These coatings are highly resistant to UV rays, dust, and chemical exposure, making them ideal for exterior applications.

Alumaze ACP panels come with advanced PVDF coating that ensures vibrant appearance and long-term durability—even in harsh weather.

 2. Fire-Retardant Core – Safety First

The core material is what lies between the two aluminium skins. For better fire safety, choose Fire-Retardant (FR) ACP panels made from a mineral-filled core. These panels reduce flame spread and smoke emission during fire incidents.

Alumaze FR Series is engineered with high-performance mineral cores that meet EN 13501-1 global fire safety standards.

 3. Aluminium Skin Thickness – Strength in Structure

The strength of an ACP panel heavily depends on the thickness of the aluminium skins. A high-quality panel should have at least 0.25mm to 0.5mm aluminium layer on each side. This ensures structural rigidity and resistance to denting during installation.

Alumaze uses precision thickness control to meet international manufacturing standards—making its sheets ideal for both interior and elevation use.

 4. Weather and UV Resistance – Built to Withstand India’s Climate

From the scorching heat of North India to the salty winds of coastal cities like Vizag, high-quality ACP panels must withstand diverse conditions. Make sure the panels are tested for UV resistance, salt spray, and humidity performance.

Alumaze guarantees over 15 years of fade-resistant performance, even in the most extreme weather conditions.

 5. Global Certifications – Proof of Quality

Trust only those ACP sheets that are backed by strong certifications. Look for compliance with:

ISO 9001:2015 (for quality management)
ARAI Test Certificate – Material & Surface Testing
Shree Ram Testing Laboratory Certificate – Physical & Chemical Testing Govt Testing Station Certificate – Product Validation

Alumaze is certified across all major benchmarks, offering peace of mind to builders, architects, and property owners.

 6. Manufacturer Reputation – Choose a Brand You Can Trust

When it comes to architectural facades and interiors, brand reputation speaks volumes. Established manufacturers like Alumaze have years of R&D, project experience, and customer trust behind their name.

From government buildings to luxury commercial complexes, Alumaze ACP sheets are known for their consistency, safety, and high-end designs—making them a preferred choice across India.

A wide colour palette (solid, metallic, glossy, matte)
