Key factors that determine the aluminium composite panel price for your project.
The biggest price factor. PE core (B2) is the most affordable; FR (B1) adds 50 to 100%; A2 (A2-s1,d0) pricing is project specific. Selection is driven by building height and NBC 2016 compliance.
PE coating is standard for interiors (5 to 10 years). PVDF adds 20 to 40% but delivers 25 to 30+ years of outdoor colour retention. Always specify PVDF for exterior projects.
0.25mm skin is standard for interiors. 0.50mm skin adds 15 to 25% but delivers superior wind load resistance and flatness for exterior facades. Required for Aludecor's exterior warranty.
Solid colours are the most affordable. Metallic finishes carry a slight premium. Wood grain, stone, and specialty finishes cost more due to digital lamination or custom printing.
Bulk orders receive better per-sqft rates; single-sheet purchases may carry a premium. Karnataka Metal Company stocks ACP sheets in Bangalore for immediate availability.
