Executive Summary

The Milano Project in Dhahran demonstrates the versatility of ACFA Plus Cement Board in addressing both exterior and interior architectural requirements within a single commercial development.

The project incorporated 2,100 m² of ACFA Plus boards, including 1,100 m² of 12 mm boards for exterior façade applications and 1,000 m² of 9 mm boards for internal wall partitions.

Selected for its durability, moisture resistance, and adaptability to different architectural finishes, ACFA Plus provided a material solution suited to the contrasting functional requirements of exterior and interior building environments.

Through coordinated material supply and collaboration with Aldira Construction Company, the required quantities were delivered within the project's two-month execution period, supporting the successful completion of the specified works.

Project Background

Commercial developments often demand construction materials capable of meeting different performance and architectural requirements across exterior façades and interior spaces.

At the Milano Project, the building design required durable external wall materials suitable for façade exposure, alongside reliable internal partition solutions offering flexibility for architectural finishing.

The project also called for efficient material supply and coordination to support a relatively short execution schedule.

ACFA Plus was selected for both applications, with board thicknesses specified according to their intended use, allowing a consistent material family to serve different building requirements.
