How Much Does a 4mm Aluminium 3D Core Panel Weigh?

Lightweight Metal Core Panel for Facade, Wall Cladding & Ceiling Systems

lightweight aluminium 3D core panel

When choosing an acp aluminium composite panel for facade, wall cladding or ceiling projects, panel weight is an important factor. It affects transportation cost, installation efficiency, structural load and long-term project safety.

For high-end architectural projects, many buyers are now comparing ordinary panel aluminium composite products with aluminium 3D core composite panels. Aluminium 3D core panels, also called aluminium cone core panels, are designed to provide a lightweight structure with better strength, flatness and fire safety than traditional PE core panels.

Typical Weight of a 4mm Aluminium 3D Core Panel

A standard 4mm aluminium 3D core composite panel with 0.5mm + 0.3mm aluminum skins usually weighs approximately 3.2-3.7 kg/m². The exact weight may vary depending on aluminum skin thickness tolerance, core structure, coating type and production batch.

For a standard aluminium composite panel sheet size of 1220 x 2440mm, the area is about 2.98 m². Based on 3.2-3.7 kg/m², one sheet weighs approximately 9.5-11.0 kg per sheet.

This lightweight performance makes aluminium 3D core panels suitable for facade systems, interior wall cladding, ceiling systems and large-area architectural decoration projects.

What Affects the Panel Weight?

The weight of an aluminium 3D core panel is mainly affected by aluminum skin thickness, core structure, panel size and surface coating.

Thicker aluminum skins increase the total weight, but they also improve panel strength, surface flatness and impact resistance. The aluminium 3D core structure helps reduce weight while keeping good rigidity and stability.

The basic calculation method is: Panel Weight = Panel Area x Weight per Square Meter. For example, a 1220 x 2440mm panel is about 2.98 m². If the weight range is 3.2-3.7 kg/m², one full sheet weighs about 9.5-11.0 kg.

Aluminium 3D Core Panel vs PE Core ACP

A standard 4mm PE core aluminum composite panel sheet usually weighs around 4.5-5.5 kg/m². For a 1220 x 2440mm sheet, the total weight is usually about 14-16 kg per sheet.

Compared with common aluminum composite panel acp, a 4mm aluminium 3D core panel with 0.5mm + 0.3mm aluminum skins can be much lighter. However, the advantage is not only weight.

PE core ACP uses a plastic core material and is often used for general decoration and low-to-medium requirement projects. Aluminium 3D core panels use a metal core structure, making them more suitable for architectural facade, ceiling and public building applications.

Compared with ordinary PE panels, aluminium 3D core panels can provide:

· Lighter panel weight

· Better fire safety

· Higher rigidity

· Better surface flatness

· Stronger structural stability

· Easier handling and installation

Suitable for Facade ACP and Wall Cladding Projects

For facade acp, exterior wall systems and ceiling projects, the best panel should balance weight, strength, safety and installation performance.

Aluminium 3D core composite panels are suitable for:

· Commercial building facades

· Aluminum composite panel cladding

· ACP wall cladding

· Interior wall decoration

· Ceiling systems

· Shopping malls

· Airports and transportation hubs

· Hospitals

· Office buildings

· Hotels

· Public buildings

· Exterior ACP sheet applications

For projects that require lightweight panels, better safety, good flatness and long-term performance, aluminium 3D core panels are a strong alternative to ordinary PE core panels.
