Perfect Splashbacks provides cut-sized aluminum composite panel sheets so that you don't need to cut or modify them to get the exact fit you want for your project. Whether installing new kitchen splashbacks, creating a retail display or putting up wall cladding, our aluminum composite panel sheets are an economical and professional solution for your project.
Aluminum composite panels were easier to work with than standard materials such as glass, steel, or solid aluminum, making them more convenient to install, safer to install, and allowing for a wider range of uses. For this reason, they are becoming more popular with homeowners, tradesmen, and commercial designers than ever before.
What are Aluminium Composite Panels?
ACP, or aluminium composite panels are made up of 3 basic layers:
- Top Layer - An aluminium sheet which serves as both a decorative and protective layer.
- Core - The core of ACP is made of non-aluminium polyethylene which is very light and rigid.
- Bottom Layer - The backside of ACP is an aluminium sheet.
The construction of the ACP panels allows them to be both flexible and rigid, while at the same time being lightweight. As a result of these characteristics, aluminium composite panels can be used for many different applications in both interior and exterior settings; they are extremely durable and do not add excessive weight.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Almost No Weight vs. Strength
ACP sheets have superior structural rigidness while being very lightweight; thus, easier to handle, transport and install than glass or solid metal sheets.
-
Ideal Material for Kitchen Splashbacks
Aluminium Composite Panels make an excellent choice if you are considering a more modern style of kitchen splashback alternative due to their:
- Smooth seamless surface
- Moisture and stain resistant
- Easy after installation maintenance with minimal upkeep required.
-
Extremely Durable & Long-Lasting
These panels are manufactured with high quality to sustain serious abuse from daily use, ideal for high traffic applications such as kitchens, offices, and retail stores.
-
Weather/Corrosion Resistant
Aluminium Composite Panels are suitable in humid climates and are appropriate for use outdoors as well such as for signage and cladding.
-
Very Easy to Cut, Drill & Install
Aluminium Composite Panels can be fabricated quickly and simply using conventional tools unlike glass.
- Custom Cut-Outs for Power Sockets
- Simple On-Site Trimming
- Flexible Installation Options
-
Cost-Effective Alternative
Aluminium composite panels give the same appearance of other materials such as glass, or solid aluminium but at a lower price.
Applications of Aluminium Composite Panels
Aluminum composite panels (ACP) are very adaptable and can be used for many purposes. Here are some examples of how ACP can be used:
1. Residential
These panels can be used for kitchen splashbacks, bathroom panels, feature walls, and utility room panels.
2. Commercial
These panels can be used for retail signage, shopfitting displays, office partitions, and exhibition stands.
3. Architectural
ACPs can also be used as wall cladding, ceiling panels, and decorative facades.
Because of their flexibility, ACPs are arguably the most popular panel material used in the homeowner and business environments.
Advantages of Using Aluminum Composite Panels
Glass vs. Aluminum Composite Panel – Glass shatters when it breaks; there is no risk of shattering with ACPs.
Tile vs. Aluminum Composite Panel – Tiles require more effort to install than ACP.
MDF/Laminate vs. Aluminum Composite Panel – An ACP is more durable than either MDF or laminate.
Steel vs. Aluminum Composite Panel– ACPs are more aesthetically flexible than steel.

FAQs
What is an aluminium composite panel used for?
ACP sheets can be used for applications such as kitchen splashbacks and signage, wall cladding and interior design.
Are aluminium composite sheets suitable for kitchens?
Yes, ACP sheets are moisture resistant, hygienic, and easy to clean, therefore making them good for use in kitchen splashbacks.
Are ACP sheets heat resistant?
They are resistant to moderate heat. However, if you plan to use them above direct flame heat sources, be sure to install them with protective materials.
Do aluminium composite panels rust?
No, ACPs have an aluminum outer layer that provides them with high corrosion resistance.
Are they waterproof?
Yes, ACP sheets can resist moisture; they can be used in places that have water.
Can they be used outdoors?
Yes, the abrasion and weather resistance of ACP sheets makes them a great candidate for use in signage and wall cladding.
Are ACP sheets better than tiles?
Compared to tiles, the seamless finish produces less cleaning time and more installation speed.
