Aluminum Cladding
Professional Aluminum Cladding Installation in Mumbai for Modern Building Exteriors
Aluminum Cladding
Cladding in HVAC refers to the protective outer layer—typically metal—that covers and shields insulation on ducts, pipes, and equipment. It is essential in applications such as duct cladding, chilled water pipeline cladding, chiller cooler cladding, boiler cladding, and hot water pipeline cladding. Its primary role is to protect insulation from mechanical damage, weather exposure, and environmental wear.
Aluminum cladding is a premium choice, offering superior strength, durability, and resistance to harsh conditions compared to ceramic coatings. Although more expensive, it significantly enhances the longevity of HVAC components, especially in environments prone to extreme physical or environmental stress. As such, aluminum cladding is most often used on fully exposed chiller pipelines and their critical connections.

What Is Aluminum Cladding & Why It's a Smart Choice
Aluminum cladding involves applying aluminum panels, often ACP (Aluminum Composite Panel), to building exteriors or interiors. These panels—comprising two aluminum sheets bonded to a core—provide sleek aesthetics, weather resistance, and lightweight durability. ACPs are highly customizable, available in a wide variety of colors, textures, and finishes.
Core Benefits of ACP-Based Aluminum Cladding
Lightweight & Durable
Easy to transport and install—ideal for tall structures and modern architecture.
Superior Weather Resistance
UV-proof and corrosion-resistant, even in harsh coastal environments.
Aesthetic Flexibility
Wide range of finishes—metallic sheen, woodgrain, and modern 3D textures.
Energy Efficient
Insulating cores help reduce heating and cooling costs.
Low Maintenance & Long-Lasting
ACP cladding retains its pristine finish for decades with minimal upkeep.
Fire Safety Options
Class-A or mineral-core ACPs meet enhanced fire compliance standards.

Frequently Asked Question
Aluminum cladding refers to the protective and decorative outer layer—usually aluminum or aluminum composite panels (ACPs)—used to cover and shield insulation, pipelines, ducts, and building exteriors from mechanical damage, weather exposure, and wear.
It’s commonly used on exposed chilled water & hot water pipelines, ductwork, chillers, boilers, and façades. The material often includes ACPs: composite panels made of two aluminum sheets bonded to a core (which can be polyethylene or mineral-filled).
What is the difference between standard aluminum cladding and ACP (Aluminum Composite Panel)?
Standard aluminum cladding is typically single-plate or sheet aluminum used to cover surfaces; ACP consists of two aluminum sheets bonded to a core material (PE or mineral) which adds rigidity, smooth surface, improved durability, and more visual/design flexibility.
Is aluminum cladding weatherproof?
Yes. Properly installed aluminum or ACP cladding is designed to be resistant to water, UV rays, corrosion, and weather fluctuations. Key factors include good sealing or flashing, proper joints, and quality materials.
Can aluminum cladding be used outdoors in coastal or humid environments?
Absolutely. Aluminum does well in such environments, but choices of material quality (coatings, finish), protective treatments (anti-corrosive), and maintenance are more crucial in such areas.
What are maintenance requirements for aluminum cladding?
Maintenance is minimal but recommended—occasional cleaning to remove dirt/pollutants, inspecting joints or fasteners, checking for any dents or damage, ensuring coatings are intact, and perhaps repaint or re-coat if the finish starts to degrade.
