Custom Aluminum Composite Panels: What You Need to Know Before Ordering

As an architect, façade contractor, signage manufacturer, or project developer, choosing the correct custom aluminum composite panels (ACPs) is more than just choosing an attractive finish. The material, coating, finish, core, and supplier capabilities all impact final performance, cost, durability, and project satisfaction.
We manufacture ACP panels at 신광 with total customization: coating types, surface finish, core material, size, and export worthiness for exterior cladding, interiors, signage and more. Here are the most significant things you should know before ordering to receive precisely what you need.

Why Choose Custom Aluminum Composite Panels?

Tailored Design Freedom

Standard panels are limited in finish, size, or performance. Custom aluminum composite panels let you choose finishes like matte, high gloss, wood grain, marble, brushed, mirror, or chameleon effect to match the architectural or branding vision.

Performance Matching Project Needs

Some projects need fire-rated cores or extra corrosion resistance; others prioritize lightweight or budget. Customization allows selection of core type, coating, and thickness that match those needs.

Brand & Differentiation

For landmark buildings or eye-catching signage, custom color, texture, or visual effects (like chameleon effect) create uniqueness that helps projects stand out.

Economies of Scale & Value for Money

신광 can offer cost-competitive pricing for custom specifications when ordering in volume, while still maintaining quality and delivery standards.

Key Factors to Decide Before Ordering

Here are the variables you should define clearly when ordering custom aluminum composite panels:

Factor	What to Decide	Why It Matters
핵심 재료	내화 코어, solid 또는 broken core. If the project requires compliance with fire safety codes (e.g., EN, ASTM, local building codes), you must specify.	Fire safety & building code compliance, weight, and cost.
코팅 유형	Options: PE / PVDF / Nano coatings. PVDF offers excellent weather resistance; nano coatings may offer self-cleaning, stain/chemical resistance.	Affects durability under UV, rain, pollution, and maintenance cost.
표면 마감	매트, high gloss, 나뭇결, 대리석, 브러시, mirror, chameleon color-shifting, etc. Custom color matching (RAL / Pantone) if needed.	Appearance, branding, visual impact. Also influences cost and lead time.
Thickness	Total panel thickness (often 1.8-6.0 mm), aluminum skin thickness (e.g., 0.02-1.0 mm). Larger sizes may need thicker skin to prevent deformation.	Strength, rigidity, weight, cost. Thicker panels last longer with less warping or bending.
Size & Dimension	Standard vs custom size, maximum widths. Whether long panels or special shapes are needed (curved, folded, etc.).	Shipping, handling, installation complexity, wastage, and cost.
Standards & Testing Requirements	Is compliance with EN, ASTM, ISO, and local building codes required? Do you need certificates for UV resistance, fire rating, salt spray, or color fade?	Ensures performance and avoids regulatory or warranty issues.
Packaging, Transport & Lead Time	How panels are packed (wood pallet, bulk), shipping method, transit time, destinations, and import/export paperwork. Also, sample lead times.	Protects panels from damage, ensures timely delivery, and helps budget shipping costs.
