What is the Aluminium Composite Roof?
Aluminium composite panel (ACP) roofing is one of the most popular trellis roof choices for Singapore landed homes. Each panel consists of two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a solid core, producing a flat, rigid, lightweight panel that blocks direct sunlight completely.
Because ACP is opaque, the space underneath stays noticeably cooler than under clear roofing - ideal for car porches, outdoor kitchens and rooftop areas that face the afternoon sun. The smooth, flat finish gives a clean, contemporary look and the panels come in a range of colours to match your facade.
We mount the panels on a powder-coated aluminium trellis frame, designed with the right fall and fitted with gutters and downpipes so rainwater is carried safely away. Add a timber-like aluminium ceiling underneath for a warm finished look, or integrate downlights for evening use.

Aluminium Composite Roof FAQs
Is aluminium composite roof hot?
ACP is opaque and reflects much of the sun's energy, so the space underneath is generally cooler than under clear polycarbonate or glass. Adding a ceiling underneath further improves comfort.

Does an ACP roof make noise in the rain?
Any metal-skinned roof transmits some rain noise. The composite core dampens this compared with single-skin metal sheets, and a ceiling underneath reduces it further.
ACP vs polycarbonate - which should I choose?
Choose ACP for full shade and a cooler space; choose polycarbonate if you want daylight to pass through at a lower cost.
