FR A2 ACP
Class A2 fire-rated panel with a high mineral content core for high-rise facades and public buildings under the strictest fire regulations.
Architecture And Facades
Curtain walls, rainscreens, canopies and soffits on buildings that must pass a fire code and look new in twenty years.
Industry Pain Points
What Goes Wrong In This Sector
Fire class decides the panel
Above roughly 24 m most codes call for a non-combustible class. Getting it wrong on a large elevation can mean re-cladding the building.
Coatings that chalk in seven years
Polyester on an exterior wall fades early, and a patch repair never matches.
Joint grids fixed by panel width
Standard 1220 mm width sets a joint every 1220 mm whether the design wants it or not.
Certificates arriving after the panels
Approval stalls when test reports are promised rather than supplied.
Customer Needs
What Buyers Ask For First
- A written fire class with matching test reports
- A coating position measured in decades, not seasons

- Panel sizes cut from the elevation, not from a stock list
- Packing that survives a long sea leg
Delivery Capability
- Widths to 2000 mm and lengths to 4880 mm
- A2, B1 and standard cores in the same colour
- 36+ stocked colours shipping in 7 days
- Custom matching about 15 days from approval

Typical Scenarios
How The Panel Is Used
01
High-rise residential and commercial
A2 mineral core with a fluorocarbon coating, open-joint or flush-joint depending on the elevation.
02
Airports, stations and public buildings
Large uninterrupted elevations where 2000 mm width removes a line of joints.
03
Mid-rise commercial refurbishment
B1 core over a retrofit substructure, in a stocked colour on a short lead time.
04
Canopies, soffits and column covers
Detailing in the same colour and coating as the main elevation.

PVDF Coated ACP
KYNAR500-based fluorocarbon coating baked 2–3 times for a 25 μm+ film. The standard choice for exterior wall cladding.
PVDF · Self-cleaning
Nano PVDF Coated ACP
Nano-treated surface adds self-cleaning behaviour to PVDF durability — dirt washes away with rain.
Ultra-wide · 2000mm
2M Width ACP
2000 mm ultra-wide panels mean fewer joints, faster installation and a cleaner facade — also ideal for large signage.

FAQ
Architecture And Facades FAQ
Which fire rating does a facade project need?
It follows the local code, the building height and its use. High-rise above about 24 m usually requires A2; mid-rise commercial and public buildings take A2 or B1; low-rise and interior partitions are often acceptable in standard core. Send the code reference with your enquiry.
Can you cut panels to our elevation?
Yes. Send the elevation or cutting list and we produce to your panel schedule. For complex shapes we can pre-fabricate from CAD drawings.
How do you keep colour consistent across phases?
Standard colours are held against a signed master sample. Tell us at the first order that further phases are coming and we keep the batch reference.
