But always remember than prevention is better than cure, and it is best to prepare for the storm by purchasing the appropriate type of roofing material to avoid long term problems such as deterioration or leakages.

Being one of the most readily available elements on earth, Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) is not just cost effective for various applications, it is also immensely adaptable. It is able to be used for just about any industrial processes due to its properties such as low density, good conductivity, resistance to chemicals and ability to be merged with other materials, called Aluminium Composite.

As such, ACP stands out due to its highly modifiable nature for multiple forms of uses in terms of shapes, sizes, assembly, colour, and transformation. Due to this versatility, we can comfortably use ACP for both interior and exterior works, being aesthetically pleasing and easily recyclable or replaceable.

Examples are roofing, awning, and building wall cladding, the latter use being highly popular as ACP provides incredible energy efficiency and ventilation. This way, the temperature of your internal building environment is well maintained, thus creating a comfortable working atmosphere.

  




 

5. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Industries Roofing Sheet

Combining suitable polymers that differ in physical and chemical properties, FRP acts as an economic substitute to polycarbonate, usually to make a component which is tough and yet lightweight. Plus, the durability and innate flexibility of FRP Roofing Sheets makes it suitable for applications that require lower maintenance attention over the long term. Its transparency also allows buildings that need natural lighting such as a movie studio or a greenhouse.
