Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) from Secret Awning offer a blend of strength, style, and functionality for outdoor applications. Ideal for awning installation, these panels are lightweight yet durable, crafted from high-quality aluminium composite materials. They are popular for their modern aesthetic, low maintenance, and versatility in design, making them perfect for various architectural uses in Singapore. Whether for cladding, canopies, or specialised aluminium composite panel awning designs, Secret Awning ensures high standards in both material and installation.
An ACP awning is an outdoor shade or roof structure built from aluminium composite panel (ACP) — a flat sheet made of two thin aluminium skins bonded to a solid core. The result is a rigid, lightweight panel that completely blocks sunlight and rain while staying flat and stable in Singapore’s heat and humidity. Unlike translucent roofing, an ACP awning gives you a clean, solid ceiling overhead, so it doubles as both weather protection and a finished architectural surface.
Homeowners across Singapore choose aluminium composite panel awnings for patios, balconies, walkways, car porches and entrance canopies because they are durable, fire-resistant and almost maintenance-free. The panels come in a wide range of colours and finishes — including timber-look and metallic — so the awning blends with your home rather than looking like an add-on. As a custom awning specialist since 2013, we design and install each ACP awning to fit the exact dimensions and style of your space.

The right awning material depends on whether you want full shade or filtered daylight, how much you care about rain noise, and how long you need it to last. Here is how aluminium composite panel (ACP) compares with two common alternatives — polycarbonate and acrylic — for Singapore conditions.
| Property | ACP (Aluminium Composite Panel) | Polycarbonate | Acrylic (Perspex / PMMA) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Two aluminium skins bonded to a solid core | Solid or twin-wall thermoplastic sheet | Cast or extruded PMMA (acrylic glass) sheet |
| Light & shade | Opaque — blocks sunlight fully, maximum shade | Translucent — lets filtered daylight through | Clear to tinted — glass-like, lets most daylight through |
| Heat & glare control | Excellent — no direct sun or glare underneath | Moderate — admits light and some heat | Low — transmits light, heat and glare |
| Fire resistance | High — fire-rated (FR) cores available | Good — flame-retardant grades available | Low — combustible, no FR grades |
| Impact resistance | High — rigid panel | Very high — hard to crack | Low — brittle, can crack or shatter |
| Rain noise | Quiet — the solid panel dampens rainfall | Louder during heavy rain | Loud — hard sheet amplifies rain |
| UV & weather durability | Excellent — resists fading, won't yellow | Good with UV coating; may yellow over years | Good clarity but turns brittle; edges can craze |
| Typical lifespan | 15-25+ years | 10-15 years | 7-10 years |
| Maintenance | Low — occasional wipe-down | Low to moderate | Moderate — scratches easily, needs care |
| Finishes & colours | Widest range — solid, metallic, timber-look | Clear and tinted only | Clear, tinted and frosted only — no opaque finishes |
| Relative cost | Higher upfront, strong long-term value | Mid-range | Mid-range |
In short: choose an ACP awning when you want full shade, a quiet ceiling in heavy rain, fire resistance and the longest lifespan. Choose polycarbonate when you want daylight to pass through with high impact strength, and acrylic when you want a clear, glass-like finish on a lighter budget — accepting that it is more brittle and shorter-lived. For most Singapore homes wanting a permanent, finished look, aluminium composite panel is the strongest all-round choice.
An ACP awning is a long-term investment, so it helps to weigh the trade-offs. Because the panels are opaque, an ACP awning blocks daylight completely — ideal for shade and privacy, but if you want natural light to filter into the space below, a polycarbonate or glass awning may suit you better. The higher upfront cost compared with PVC reflects the heavier-gauge aluminium and longer lifespan, so it pays back over time rather than immediately.
As with any solid roof, proper installation matters: correct fall (slope) for rainwater drainage, secure framing and sealed joints prevent ponding and leaks. This is why we carry out an on-site assessment before quoting — to confirm the structure, drainage and fixings are right for your home. Done correctly, an ACP awning needs very little attention for years.
