Aluminium composite plates

What are the advantages of aluminium composite boards?

An aluminium composite plate is also abbreviated as ACP and consists of two aluminium plates, with a core of polyethylene. This core is glued to the aluminium plates under high pressure. In this way, the whole forms a kind of sandwich, which is why the plates are popularly called aluminium composite plates. sandwich panels mentioned. Aluminium composite sheets are sheets that are much easier to process than, for example, solid aluminium sheets that have an equal thickness.

However, these boards have further advantages over other materials. For instance, an aluminium composite plate is lightweight because it is created from a combination of aluminium and plastic. Despite the fact that composite sheets are flat and very stiff, they are inexpensive and easy to process. This is because the material has great freedom of shape. Moreover, aluminium composite panels are fully recyclable, durable, and weather- and corrosion-resistant.

What are the applications of composite boards?

Aluminium and plastic sheets are used for a variety of applications, mainly in the advertising and construction sectors. For instance, these durable sheets are widely used for cladding facades, e.g. of shop premises, showrooms and fascia boards. But they are also used in the production of LED-lit aluminium textile frames, including for the advertising and sign & display industries.

However, composite sheets are also used to produce LED light boxes, signposts, billboards and illuminated advertising pillars. Finally, composite sheets are also used in industry. This is, among others, when producing petrol station roofs, making partition walls and realising awnings. Do you want to safely shield machinery in the factory? Then these sheets are also more than suitable.

Various colours and finishes

You can buy the aluminium composite sheets in various colours. You can think of a white plate, as well as a slab in anthracite, blue, yellow, grey, red and ivory. However, it is also possible to choose a particular finish, for example an aluminium composite plate with a Butler Finish or a brushed finish. Do you opt for a gold plate or does a rose or champagne finish have your preference?

A Butler Finish gives the sheet material a characteristic, metallic sheen that provides a unique and stylish look. This makes this finish particularly suitable for applications where aesthetics play an important role, such as in cladding, interior design or billboards. The brushed finish, on the other hand, offers a subtle texture that reflects light and highlights the depth and complexity of the material. This finish is ideal for projects where a more muted, refined look is desired.

Processing aluminium composite plates

Processing aluminium composite boards is surprisingly easy and efficient, making them a popular choice for professionals and DIYers alike. Drilling into these sheets is easy with standard metal drills. It is important to drill slowly and apply light pressure to prevent the aluminium from deforming. To fasten the plates, use stainless steel screws or special aluminium rivets. These fastening methods ensure a durable and sturdy assembly, ideal for projects exposed to weather conditions.

It is also possible to bond composite sheets. For this, you use special construction adhesives that are workable with both metal and plastic. These adhesives offer a smooth finish with no visible attachment points, making it the best choice for aesthetically sensitive applications. Want a more professional finish? Then you can optionally seal the edges with profiles.
