It's hard to imagine an urban skyline without marvelous skyscrapers. The high-rise buildings are part of modern architecture and high-tech facilities. And in this, the revolutionary material aluminium composite panel is helping to make the building exquisite.
The ACP sheets are useful in elevating the aesthetic of a building and are usually useful for cladding and façade purposes. Often, the panels are used for exterior applications that are exposed to pollutants, dirt, dust, and rain. The ACP sheet's shine can deteriorate with time due to environmental factors.
Timely maintenance and cleaning are important to keep the shine intact in the sheets. Here are the tips you must keep in mind while cleaning aluminium composite panels clean.
Be Gentle With Cleaning Process
An aluminium composite panel is coated with PVDF/FEDE powder coating, it ensures the paint does not succumb to scratches and indentations. To clean the ACP sheet you don't need harsh solvents or solutions.
You can use a sponge and regular dishwashing solution with water. It helps remove any sticky dirt or pollutants from the surface of the panels.
Timing is key
The ACP panels are made of aluminium sheets. Just like any other metal, aluminum too contracts and relaxes with a temperature change. So, for thorough cleaning of the sheets, select the time of the day when it is neither too cold nor too hot. I would recommend not cleaning during peak winter or summer.
Dealing with grime dirt
If the building is in an area close that is prone to soil, dirt, and grit, then one needs to be mindful of the scratches. Buildings located in the city center or industrial zones are more likely to suffer this problem.
First, rinse the building with water at moderate pressure. If sticky dirt or soil is sticking on the surface, use a mild detergent solution and scrub with a sponge. Blackened sheets do not require detergent or mild cleaning solutions as pollution changes the color of the sheets.
Conclusion
With these simple tips, you can give the panel a long, bright shiny life. It makes the aluminium composite panel sturdy and durable.
