RIBBED-TYPE
WALL PANEL
SYSTEM
Ribbed Wall Panels - are used in construction and architecture that
consist of precast panels with a series of ribs. These ribs can be made
from various materials such as metal, concrete, plastic, or wood. The
panels are available in different gauges and widths, providing structural
strength and weather tightness.
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
1. Economical and cost-effective 1. Not suitable for sloped areas,
solution compared to traditional and high winds or cyclonic areas
wood, concrete, or masonry 2. Not suitable for heavy loads, and
options. has a high formwork cost.
2. Provide continuous coverage
from foundation to eaves. This
eliminates the need for end laps
and ensures wall integrity and
weather-tightness.
3. This can effectively
accommodate blanket insulation to
enhanced thermal efficiency and
energy savings
DIFFERENT TYPES OF RIBBED WALL PANELS
1. V-Ribbed: Defined and Angular - distinguished by their distinct
angular appearance that are characterized by V-shaped and sharp-edged
ridges. Strong visual effects are produced by the strong vertical lines,
which reflect light and create eye-catching shadows that highlight the
ridges' angular geometry and produce dynamic patterns all day long. It
has an appearance similar to corrugated panels, that is perfect for a
modern industrial vibe and gives interiors a dramatic and edgy feel.
2. Slated: Sleek and Elegant - feature a linear, grid-like arrangement,
which can be vertical or horizontal and is evenly distributed along the
panel’s entire height and width. These are often used for practical
purposes in retail spaces, given that their orthogonal ribs enable the easy
installation of shelves, hooks and other accessories.
3. Reeded: Curved and Groovy - usually narrow and uniform, that have
smoothly arched grooves that can be horizontal (and even diagonal) but
are regularly arranged vertically. Their curved three-dimensional pattern,
created using meticulous techniques, brings visual appeal and an
interesting interplay of light and shadow that evolves across the
undulating surface.
4. Fluted: Rippled and Playful - are composed of long vertical grooves
or channels that are carved into the material’s surface. The end result is a
set of parallel undulating shapes that evoke a sense of movement and
fluidity, especially with changing light conditions that, depending on the
direction and quality of the light, create elongated shadows within the
grooves. The spacing and width of the “flutes” often varies –they can be
evenly distributed or crafted in intricate, irregular patterns for a more
organic feel.
