RIBBED TYPE
A ribbed type wall panel system, also
known as ribbed wall cladding or ribbed
wall panels, is a construction and

WALL PANEL architectural element commonly used in

the building industry. These panels are
designed to provide both structural

SYSTEM support and aesthetic appeal to a

building's exterior or interior walls. The
term "ribbed" refers to the presence of
raised ribs or corrugations on the surface
of the panels, which create a pattern of
ridges and grooves.

Ribbed type wall panel system, like most

wall panel systems, come with a variety of
design, material, mode of installation,
finishes and costs. They are mostly used
in commercial and industrial facilities as
they offer strength, ease of installation and
a protective outer layer.

Advances in material science have led to the

development of ribbed wall panels made from
innovative materials, including eco-friendly
and sustainable options. These panels may
incorporate recycled content or be recyclable
themselves.

PANELS MAY COME IN:
Ribbed type wall panels may come in
different forms, as well as be applied in
many different ways. Insulated application
is the most common, with many different
ways of joining two panels together such as
interlocking and side lap attachment.

Ease of installation
Wall panel systems are known for its ease of installation, only needing a few tools.
However, installing requires a professional equipped with knowledge and experience.

Ribbed wall panels are versatile and can be
used in various building types, including changes
commercial, industrial, and residential
structures. They are commonly found in
warehouses, factories, agricultural buildings,
and modern architectural designs.

Aesthetic Variety
Ribbed wall panels come in various designs
and profiles, offering architects and builders a
wide range of options to achieve the desired
aesthetic look for a building. The rib patterns
can vary in depth, spacing, and direction to
create unique visual effects.

WALL PANELS
METAL RIBBED WALL PANELS METAL RIBBED WALL PANELS
These panels are often made of materials like steel or
aluminum. Metal ribbed panels are known for their
durability, strength, and resistance to corrosion. They are
commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings.

CONCRETE RIBBED WALL PANELS

Ribbed panel concrete walls, consisting of precast panels
with a series of ribs, are efficient in both structural
strength and acoustic insulation. The ribs inherently
contribute to sound absorption. The geometry of the ribs
helps to scatter and diffuse sound waves, reducing echoes
and reverberation. This property makes them especially CONCRETE RIBBED WALL PANELS
beneficial in spaces where acoustic quality is essential,
such as auditoriums, conference rooms, or residential
units.

COMPOSITE RIBBED WALL PANELS

Composite panels are made from a combination of
materials, such as metal and foam insulation. These panels
often provide a balance between structural strength and
thermal efficiency.

 More than 8,300 square feet of Metal Sales™ wall panels outfit the new Fayetteville
Montessori Elementary School in Fayetteville, AR. The school’s unique design and
building requirements made it a great fit for metal cladding.

Montessori Primary is a complete renovation of an outdated suburban office building

into a 9-classroom school building that augments the facilities at the Fayetteville
Montessori School in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The renovation, which was completed
11 months (design through construction) for $132 per square foot, utilizes the
original structure of the building, including the rhythm of the storefronts along the
south and west walls, which now provide large banks of glass into each classroom.
Angled walls, conceived of as a carapace, drop in front of the windows to provide
shade and visual separation from the street. An addition on the north side of the
building, unseen from the exterior entry of the building, intersects the existing
building at the reception area and conference room. The insertion creates a dynamic,
acute corner as the corridor extends to three additional classrooms and frames two

etteville Mont
courtyards, used for outdoor play, between the old and the new.
