ACP panel sheets can be further coated with PVDF or Polyester paint.

This modern material features plenty of practical and technical advantages. It comes with a total thickness ranging from 3mm to 6mm including the adhesive layers and glues.  Since its introduction in the architectural domain, ACP sheets have changed the interior and exterior outlook of many structures lending them a striking perspective.
