Brushed ACP

Directional brushed texture for premium interiors, lift cars and feature walls.

Product Overview

Brushed ACP At A Glance

A brushed surface reads as metal because the grain catches light along one direction and dulls it across the other. On a composite panel it gives a lift lobby or a feature wall the look of machined metal at a fraction of the weight.

Brushed is one of the eight stocked A2 fire-rated metal finishes, which means it is available with a non-combustible core in 1220 × 2440 mm and 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 mm thickness.

Key Benefits

Why Buyers Choose This Panel

01

Directional grain that reads as metal

Light moves along the brush direction, not flatly across the surface.

02

Hides handling marks

A grained surface forgives what a mirror surface shows.

03

Stocked in the A2 metal series

Available with a non-combustible core.

04

Standard fabrication

Routs and folds like any coated panel — mind the grain direction.

Application Scenarios

Where It Is Used

Lift cars and lobby linings

The classic brushed-metal interior.

Retail and hospitality feature walls

Warm metallics without the cost of solid metal.

Reception counters and column covers

Surfaces people touch.

Who It Is For

  • Interior fit-out contractors and shopfitters
  • Lift and escalator cladding specialists
  • Sign makers building premium signage
  • Furniture and joinery manufacturers

Problems It Solves

  • Solid brushed metal is heavyA composite panel puts the same surface on a wall the substructure can carry.
  • Grain direction mismatched on siteWe supply panels cut to a stated grain direction so a wall reads as one surface.
  • Fingerprints on polished surfacesBrushed hides handling far better than mirror.

FAQ

Brushed ACP FAQ

Is brushed ACP suitable for exterior use?

With an exterior coating system, yes. Tell us the elevation and exposure and we will confirm the right coating for the location.

Can I get brushed with an A2 core?

Yes. Brushed is one of the eight stocked A2 fire-rated metal finishes, in 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 mm.

Will panels from two orders match?

Standard colours are held against a signed master sample. For a phased project, tell us at the first order so the batch reference is kept.
