Aluminium MPP

Acoustic. Precise. Architectural.

Overview

TILT's Multi-Perforated Panels (MPP) are an engineered louvre and screen system designed for South African climatic and acoustic conditions. Two standard module heights are available — both sharing a wave-form cross-section that provides inherent structural stiffness without additional steel backing, allowing generous clear spans between fixings while maintaining a visually slender panel depth.

The perforation geometry is precision-punched before roll-forming, ensuring consistent open areas and clean edges throughout. This process integrity underpins the panel's strong acoustic performance across blind, microperforated and windowed configurations. Panels are finished in architectural powder coat as standard, applied at a consistent dry film thickness to the full external and internal face of each profile — suitable for facades exposed to coastal or industrial environments.

Key Benefits

Precision-punched perforation geometry for consistent open areas and clean edges. Strong acoustic performance across multiple configurations. Architectural powder coat finish as standard — suitable for coastal and industrial environments. Suitable for weather-exposed applications including ventilated facades, carpark screens and acoustic boundary walls.

Applications

Solar shading facades, privacy screens, acoustic treatment panels, carpark screening and decorative cladding. Ideal where a refined, low-open-area perforation pattern is required for visual privacy or controlled light filtering in commercial and residential projects.

Panel Composition

Every ACP panel supplied by TILT uses the same proven multi-layer construction — engineered for flatness, weather resistance and long-term colour stability.

PVDF Top CoatWeather-resistant fluoropolymer finish — the same chemistry used on architectural curtain wall systems worldwide.
Primer CoatAdhesion promoter bonded to the aluminium surface before topcoat application.
Passivation LayerCorrosion-inhibiting treatment applied directly to the aluminium coil surface.
Aluminium Skin — 0.5mmAA3003 / AA3105 alloy. Both faces are aluminium coil — front and back.
Adhesive FilmStructural bond between aluminium skin and core, applied under heat and pressure.
Core — PE or FR MineralStandard: polyethylene for interior and sheltered exterior. FR option: non-combustible mineral-filled core for multi-storey facades (SANS 10400-T).
Service Coat / Mill FinishProtective PE rear face coating. Standard across all grades.

Fire Safety

TILT supplies ACP in both standard PE core and non-combustible FR mineral-filled core configurations. Specify the correct core type for your project — multi-storey facade work in South Africa requires compliance with SANS 10400-T.

Class A2
FR Mineral Core — Non-Combustible
Highest fire classification. Non-combustible mineral-filled core. Required for multi-storey facades under SANS 10400-T and specified by many commercial developers as standard.

Class B
FR Mineral Core — Limited Combustibility
Mineral-filled core with Class B fire classification. Suitable for low-to-medium-rise facades, canopies and covered exterior applications where FR performance is specified.
