Composite Aluminium Sheet: The Facade of Tallest Skyscraper

Major cities around the world have noticed an increase in the proportion of skyscrapers. Keeping pace with the times, the demand for exterior wall building materials is also increasing. Aluminum Composite Panels or ACP is a new age construction material that is mostly used in exterior walls and facades of buildings.

Composite aluminum panels have changed the general perception of sustainable construction and aesthetic building materials. However, this may make you wonder if they are suitable for skyscrapers. Does it last too long? Or, is it capable of withstanding extreme temperatures? Well, all those doubts are put to rest when there are several incredible structures around the world using this material.

Tallest building and ACP
At present, the aluminum-plastic panel market is mainly concentrated in Southeast Asian countries, North America, the Middle East and East Africa. The most stunning applications of this new age building material are evident in several stunning buildings around the world.

The Burj Al Arab is an iconic building in the global hospitality industry, with its front facade using a combination of aluminum composite panels and glass. Custom-made white aluminum composite panels are coated with resin to protect the facade from salt and wind.

Other high-rise buildings using composite aluminum panels as exterior walls include the Empire State Building in New York, USA. Aluminum spandrels are insulated aluminum composite panels used for facades and interior ceilings. Flexible materials combined with the design prevent the cladding from cracking under wind-induced movement. The panels also give the building a unique style and appearance.

Another example of the creative and functional application of composite aluminum panels is the facade of the Commerzbank building in Frankfurt, Germany. Germany's tallest building is clad with anodized aluminum rainscreen panels. The façade not only provides structural support but also provides natural ventilation for the world's first "eco-office building".
