ACP Awning

Aluminium Composite Panel
In today’s fast-paced architectural landscape, ACP awnings are becoming an increasingly popular choice for commercial, industrial, and even residential applications. Short for Aluminium Composite Panel, ACP is a highly versatile material known for its strength, lightness, and visual appeal—making it ideal for outdoor shading systems.

What is an ACP Awning?

An ACP awning is an overhead structure made using aluminium composite panels—flat, layered sheets composed of two thin aluminium skins bonded to a polyethylene or fire-retardant core. These awnings are installed above entrances, windows, patios, walkways, and loading bays to provide shade, enhance aesthetics, and offer protection from UV and rain.

Why Choose ACP for Awnings?

Here are the 8 E’s that highlight ACP’s key product benefits:

  2. Easy maintenance
  3. Even coating and countless colours
  4. Exceptional UV characteristics
  5. Excellent flatness and lightweight
  6. Enhanced forming performance
  7. Eco-friendly
  8. Elevated value
