Architecture inspires and defines how we view the world. Unsurprisingly, aluminium helped design some of the most sustainable and flexible architectural projects. Its easy-to-shape, lightweight, and yet strong material ACP Sheets.
The use of aluminium in architecture enables shapes and designs that are not possible with bricks and wood. The popularity of the aluminium composite panel started in the 20th century and became world famous due to the unlimited possibilities of aluminium. It is no coincidence, that aluminium panels are fitted as window panels, doors, facades, and awnings in the most iconic buildings in the world. The material is abundantly available on earth, and it is infinitely recyclable without loss of quality.
From designing the Empire building in the 1970s to designing the stadium in Qatar for the FIFA World Cup 2022, we have seen tremendous changes in ACP designs. Because each project has its own distinct style, whether classic or contemporary, discreet or loud, it is more accurate to say that aluminium complements all of them.
To understand how it is shaping the world architecture, it is important to understand the application. We will discuss the use of aluminium paneling in this blog.
Application of Aluminium in Modern Architecture
Decorative Application
Enjoy creative freedom with the infinite opportunity of shaping the panels into any desired size or design. As aluminium is extremely malleable, it is among the top choices among architects for decorative designs. Blinds, ceilings, doors, louvers, and ornamental trim are some of the decorative applications where ACP facades shine.
Pushing Green Buildings/Sustainable Design
Aluminium panels are pushing design trends to promote sustainable architecture for the 21st century. The modern aluminium alloys support the glass panels, offering maximum daylight inside the structure. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, ACP sheets are made of recycled aluminium and the finished product is 100% recyclable. The recycling process takes a minimum amount of money, it recycles without loss of quality. Furthermore, it also has thermal insulation and sound insulation that can reduce electricity usage by 30%. These qualities make it the preferred choice for green construction.
Roofing with ACP
ACP sheets provide aesthetic and functional design to buildings. Given its robust features, like lightweight, and durability it finds a range of applications in roofing. Moreover, the Viva ACP sheets are resistant to rust and impervious to dirt, scratches, fire, and chemical reactions from other compounds in the air, which makes the roof resistant to damage. The ACP sheets are either cut in CNC cut panels or installed as it is, providing ornamental roofing design.
Aluminium Composite Panel as Facade
Aluminium is known to be a game-changer material and widely popular across the world for curtain walls, or facade design. Today, the aluminium facade in skyscrapers is popular more than ever before. The high design flexibility and thin panels that reduce the weight of the design create facades that elevate the overall visual of the building.
