Fire retardant ACPs can stop the spread of fire and give ample time to the people to evacuate the building safely. Here are some of the advantages of using fire-retardant ACP sheets in buildings.

Why Fire-Retardant ACP Sheets Are Necessary For Building?

ACP sheets are mainly used for external and internal architectural cladding or partitions, false ceilings, signage, machine coverings, container construction, etc. ACP or Aluminum Composite Panels are manufactured by aluminium on the outer layers and a polyethylene layer sandwiched between the aluminium layers. The best quality ACP sheets are known for various qualities which includes stylish, sturdy and lightweight among others.

ACP sheets are light-weight and weather-resistant material with excellent thermal, acoustic and mechanical properties. They are known for its aesthetic look, durability, efficiency, flexibility, and low-weight. Aluminium Composite Panels can also be painted in to any colour and are also available in a variety of shades. Viva is one of the leading ACP sheet manufacturer in India who are known for providing highest number of ACP shades in the country. Their ACPs can also be customized as per client’s requirement.

Aluminium Composite Panels are also made with a fireproof core with two aluminium layers in between. This gives the building excellent resistance to fire. Fire retardant ACPs can stop the spread of fire and give ample time to the people to evacuate the building safely.

Here are some of the advantages of using fire-retardant ACP sheets in buildings –

  1. Fire retardant ACP sheets are poor conductors of thermal energy which means that they do not conduct heat very well. Hence, they are perfect for buildings as they can prevent fire-disasters and minimize the loss of life and accidents. ACP panels are almost same as other panels in terms of design but Aluminium Composite Panels feature fire retardant core material and its thickness sets in apart.
  2. Fire retardant Aluminium Composite Panels can help reduce the spread of flames, giving ample time to the people of buildings to evacuate the building safely and on time.
  3. ACP sheets are very easy and hassle-free to install and maintain and are also easily recyclable.
  4. Fire retardant ACP sheets are also weather and UV resistant

Fire safety is a great concern in India and so it is highly recommended to use fire retardant ACP in buildings. If you are looking for superior quality fire retardant ACP sheets, here are some of the top manufacturers of — Viva, Aludecor, Eurobond and VirgoACP.
