Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) are versatile, durable, and perfect for a range of applications, but getting those joins right is key to a flawless finish! Here’s a quick guide to help you connect ACPs like a professional:
Steps to Join ACP Panels:
Prepare Your Panels: Ensure the edges are smooth and clean. Use a deburring tool if necessary for a clean edge.
Use Suitable Joining Methods
Aluminium Profiles: Ideal for strong, seamless joins. Select U or H profiles based on your design.
Silicone Sealant: Flexible and weather-resistant, perfect for outdoor projects.
Rivet Joints: Great for strength, commonly used for cladding and signage.
Double-Sided Tape: Quick and efficient for lighter indoor applications.
Align PerfectlyUse clamps or temporary adhesive to hold the panels in place while joining. A straight edge or laser level can help maintain alignment.
Secure the JoinFasten or seal the panels securely, ensuring there’s no gap or misalignment. Allow adhesives or sealants to cure as recommended.
Finishing TouchesWipe off excess adhesive and inspect for a clean, professional finish.
🔧 Tips for Success:
Always use compatible adhesives or fasteners designed for ACP materials.
Avoid over-tightening screws or rivets to prevent warping.
Ensure expansion gaps for panels in areas with temperature fluctuations.
