Why ACP Awnings Are in Demand
An awning does more than just provide shade — it enhances the aesthetics of a building while protecting against rain, heat, and UV rays. Traditional awning materials like canvas, metal, or glass often come with downsides: they fade, rust, or break over time. That’s why many homeowners and businesses are switching to ACP awnings.
Made from aluminium composite panels (ACP), these awnings combine durability, lightweight strength, and design flexibility, making them a perfect fit for Malaysia’s tropical climate. At GB PLAS, we supply premium ACP materials designed for long-term performance with minimal upkeep.
What Is an ACP Awning?
An ACP awning is a protective overhead covering built using aluminium composite panels. Unlike traditional roofing, ACP awnings are:
- Weatherproof – Withstand heavy rain, strong winds, and scorching sun.
- Lightweight yet Strong – Easier to install while providing excellent protection.
- Customizable – Available in various colours, finishes, and sizes to suit both homes and businesses.
- Low-Maintenance – Resistant to corrosion, peeling, and fading.
Benefits of ACP Awnings
- Durability – Long lifespan with resistance to rust, cracks, and corrosion.
- Stylish Appearance – Sleek, modern designs that enhance property value.
- UV and Heat Protection – Keeps spaces cooler by blocking harmful rays.
- Versatile Applications – Perfect for homes, shops, offices, or industrial sites.
- Cost-Effective – Minimal maintenance requirements reduce long-term expenses.
- Eco-Friendly – Manufactured using recyclable aluminium and sustainable processes.
Applications of ACP Awnings
ACP awnings can be installed in a variety of settings, including:
- Residential Homes – Car porches, balconies, patios, and garden areas.
- Commercial Buildings – Storefronts, restaurants, and café outdoor seating.
- Industrial Properties – Loading bays, walkways, and staff rest areas.
- Public Spaces – Bus stops, walkways, and recreational facilities.
