In renovation, how does ACP ease adjustments compared to solid stone panels?

During building renovations, aluminum composite panel (ACP) cladding substantially simplifies adjustments compared to solid stone panels. ACP’s modular nature allows each panel to be individually removed, resized, or replaced on site without specialized stone-cutting equipment. Installers can detach rivets or screws, adjust the underlying rail grid, and install new panels to accommodate window enlargements, repair damage, or reconfigure facade layouts. Solid stone panels, on the other hand, require heavy cranes, wet cutting tools, and skilled stonemasons for each modification. Transporting and lifting stone slabs also demands robust handling equipment and safety precautions. ACP’s light weight (4–8 kg/m²) and manageable panel dimensions facilitate rapid work in confined areas with minimal disruption. For interior aluminum ceiling systems, ACP modules clip into adjust-able grid frames, allowing ceiling penetrations or lighting changes with simple panel swaps. Moreover, ACP surfaces can be site-cut with standard metal shears without fracturing. Overall, ACP’s flexibility and ease of modification reduce renovation costs, accelerate schedules, and provide cleaner, safer work processes compared to heavy stone cladding.
