Common ACP Installation Mistakes & How to Avoid Them
Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) have become an integral part of modern architecture, enabling facades that are sleek, durable and design-forward. However, the long-term performance of any ACP facade depends not just on the material, but on how effectively it is designed, fabricated and installed. Across projects, many facade failures can be traced back to common ACP installation mistakes-ranging from incorrect ACP fixing systems to poor material selection and inadequate installation practices. These ACP design errors not only impact aesthetics but also compromise structural stability and lifecycle performance. Key ACP design errors are explained below, along with how ALUCOBOND® helps avoid them through a system-led solution. Incorrect ACP Fixing Systems One of the most critical yet overlooked aspects of ACP installation is the selection of appropriate ACP fixing systems. The Mistake Using non-engineered or incompatible fixing methods often results in panel ...
