Is ACP cheaper than glass for building facades?

Yes, ACP is 3-4 times cheaper than glass curtain wall systems for opaque facade areas. ACP costs ₹65-200/sq.ft while glass curtain walls cost ₹300-800/sq.ft. Additionally, ACP reduces cooling costs by 15-20% compared to all-glass facades in India's hot climate. Most modern buildings use ACP + glass combination — ACP for solid areas (60-70%), glass for vision panels (30-40%).
