ACP Cladding Price in Gurgaon: How It's Calculated
ACP (aluminium composite panel) cladding is priced per sq ft of facade, and the cost is set by the panel's thickness and core (fire-retardant or standard), its finish, the frame behind it, and the height and access. FabWise quotes ACP cladding after a ₹99 site visit.

ACP cladding price in Gurgaon is quoted per sq ft of facade. Shops along Sohna Road and MG Road, showrooms in Old Gurgaon and offices in Udyog Vihar use ACP to give a tired front a clean, branded face quickly. Two quotes for the same shop front in Gurugram can be very different, and the reasons are mostly in the panel itself and the frame you cannot see once it is up.
What unit is ACP cladding priced in?
Per sq ft of finished facade, measured flat. Returns around columns, soffits under a canopy and folded edges add area. Letters, signage and lighting are usually priced separately. The rate covers the panel, the frame (substructure), fixing, sealing and installation; check that each quote says so.
What drives the cost of ACP cladding?
| Cost driver | Effect |
|---|---|
| Panel thickness | Thicker panels stay flatter across large areas and resist dents. |
| Aluminium skin thickness | The aluminium layers on each face vary. Thin skins dent and show waviness. |
| Core: FR or PE | A fire-retardant (FR) mineral core costs more than a standard polyethylene (PE) core, and is commonly specified for building facades. |
| Finish | Solid colours are the base; metallic, wood-grain, stone and mirror finishes cost more. |
| Brand | Established panel brands state their specifications and finish life; unbranded sheet may not. |
| Frame (substructure) | An aluminium frame resists rust; an MS frame must be primed and painted. The frame's section size and spacing matter. |
| Routing and grooves | Routed and folded joints give a crisp look and take more fabrication time than flat fixing. |
| Height and access | Scaffolding or work at height on an upper-storey facade adds cost and time. |
| Signage | Cut-out letters, logos and lighting are extra to the cladding. |
How do you read and compare ACP quotes?
- Get each quote on the same measured area, including returns and soffits.
- Ask for the panel thickness, skin thickness, core type and brand.
- Ask what the frame is made of and its section sizes.
- Check whether scaffolding, sealing, and removal of old cladding are included.
- Ask for signage and letters to be listed separately so you compare cladding with cladding.
Red flags in a cheap ACP quote
- No core stated, or a PE core where a fire-retardant one is expected.
- Thin aluminium skins that dent and show waves in the sun.
- An unprimed MS frame behind the panels, which rusts out of sight.
- Sparse fixing, which lets panels move in wind and come away; see ACP panel loose.
- No sealant at joints, so water gets behind the cladding.
ACP, structural glazing or louvers?
ACP gives a solid, coloured face. Structural glazing gives an all-glass front and costs differently because of the glass and silicone work. Aluminium louvers shade a facade while letting air through. A rolling shutter is security for the opening. Many shop fronts combine them. The ACP cladding shop front guide goes further.
Do you need permission for facade work?
Markets, malls and commercial complexes in Gurugram and Noida often have rules on signage and facade changes, set by the building owner or association. Check before you order; the visit can plan the design around rules you share.
ACP for a shop front versus a whole building
A single shop front on a market road is a small, ground-level job: a frame on the existing wall, panels, and usually a space for the signboard. A full building facade in Udyog Vihar or along a Noida sector road is a different scale. It needs scaffolding or work at height, a frame engineered for wind, and attention to how rainwater runs off. The per sq ft rate reflects that, which is why one rate cannot cover both.
Living with ACP cladding
- Cleaning: dust settles on the panels; a periodic wash with water and a mild detergent keeps the finish bright.
- Sealant: joints are sealed with silicone, which ages in strong sun; check it every few years.
- Signage changes: cutting new holes for fresh signage breaks the seal; reseal around every fixing.
- Loose panels: a panel that rattles in wind needs checking quickly, before it lifts further.
Choosing a finish
Solid colours suit brand fronts and are the simplest to match later if a panel is replaced. Metallic finishes give a modern sheen; wood-grain and stone patterns soften a facade. Whatever you choose, order enough for the whole front from one batch, because colours can vary slightly between batches. The visit is the time to look at samples in daylight on the actual wall, rather than on a screen.
If the shop has an old signboard or cladding, ask whether removing it and repairing the wall behind is part of the quote. What is found behind old cladding, such as damp or loose plaster, has to be fixed before a new frame goes on.

Common questions
How is ACP cladding priced in Gurgaon?
Per sq ft of facade. The rate depends on panel and skin thickness, the core (fire-retardant or standard PE), the finish, the frame behind it, and the height and access. Signage is usually separate. FabWise quotes after a ₹99 visit with the specification in writing.
What is the difference between FR and PE core ACP?
Both have aluminium skins; the core differs. A PE core is standard polyethylene; an FR core is mineral-filled and fire-retardant, and is commonly specified for building facades. They look the same once fitted, so ask for the core in writing.
Is the frame included in the ACP cladding price?
It should be. The panels hang on a frame of aluminium or primed MS fixed to the wall. Ask any quote what the frame is made of and whether it is included, because a cheap frame is the part that fails out of sight.
Shop ke front pe ACP lagane mein kitna time lagta hai?
It depends on the size, the frame and the height. A small shop front is much quicker than a multi-storey facade that needs scaffolding. The timeline is given with your written quote after the visit. If your shop needs to keep trading, say so at the visit.
Why are my ACP panels coming loose?
Usually sparse fixings, a corroded frame or failed sealant letting water in behind. See ACP panel loose for the causes and how they are fixed. Loose panels in a windy spell are a safety risk to people below, so they should be checked promptly rather than left until the next season.
