Frequently asked questions
What is aluminium composite panel (ACP)?
ACP is a flat panel made of two aluminium skins bonded to a core. It is lightweight, rigid and coil-coated, and is used for building facades, cladding, signage and interiors across the UAE.
Which fire grade do I need in the UAE?
It depends on building height and occupancy. High-rise and high-risk buildings typically need A2 or A1 (non-combustible) grades, while some mid-rise and commercial uses permit FR. Confirm with your fire consultant, see our A1 vs A2 vs FR comparison.
Is ALUCOPANEL approved by UAE Civil Defence?
Yes. Our A2 and A1 grades carry the EN 13501-1 fire classifications recognised by Civil Defence, and we supply certificates for your submission. See our UAE Civil Defence approval page.
What thickness of ACP should I use?
4mm is the facade standard for cladding and rainscreens; 3mm is lighter and used for signage and interiors. See our 4mm and 3mm ACP sheet pages.
What sizes does ACP come in?
Standard widths are 1220, 1250 and 1500 mm, with lengths up to 5800 mm and custom sizes to order. See our ACP sheet sizes and specifications.
What colours and finishes are available?
The full RAL range plus custom solids, metallics, sparkle, wood-grain, stone/marble and desert tones, all coil-coated. Custom colours can be matched from a sample. See colours and finishes.
How much does ACP cost in the UAE?
Price depends on the fire grade, thickness, skin gauge, colour and quantity. Send your specification and quantities for a current quote, local manufacturing keeps lead times short.
How long are lead times?
Because we manufacture in the UAE, lead times are short compared with importing. Exact timing depends on grade, colour and quantity; we confirm on quotation.
Do you fabricate and install?
We manufacture and supply ACP and provide fabrication, CNC cutting, routing, folding and perforation, plus installation guidance. See our fabrication & installation page.
Do you supply outside Dubai?
Yes. We supply across all the Emirates and the wider GCC, with dedicated pages for Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and other zones.
