What aesthetic customization can ACP achieve that gypsum boards cannot?

Aluminum composite panel (ACP) cladding enables an expansive range of aesthetic customizations that gypsum boards cannot match in facade and ceiling applications. ACP panels come pre-finished at the factory with durable coatings in virtually any color, metallic finish, wood grain mimic, or stone texture. Digital printing technology allows high-resolution images or branding graphics to be laminated under the protective finish, transforming facades into large-scale artworks. ACP can be perforated with precision patterns for decorative or acoustic purposes, while maintaining structural rigidity. Panels can also be bent, folded, or curved to create dynamic three-dimensional forms and striking visual rhythms. In contrast, gypsum boards are limited to flat surfaces that require site painting or wallpaper, which fade and stain over time. Complex gypsum shapes—such as coves or domes—demand skilled craftspeople and onsite finishing, increasing cost and risk of cracks. For aluminum ceilings, ACP baffles and panels maintain crisp edges and uniform color under lighting, ensuring a premium appearance. Overall, ACP offers unmatched versatility in finishes, forms, and graphics that gypsum boards simply cannot deliver.
