The Ritek® XL Wall System, a pre-fabricated permanent formwork system is a versatile structural walling system, which has been successfully used in an extensive range of building projects nationally and internationally. The system is used for all internal and external walls and selectively for such areas as lift shafts, stairwell and party walls. The key benefits of the Ritek® XL Wall System are its structural integrity, speed of installation, reduced on site waste, fire and acoustic ratings. The Ritek® XL Wall System is made up of prefabricated panels used to provide permanent formwork for in situ reinforced concrete walls. Ritek wall panels consists of 6mm fibre cement, recessed edge facing sheets, bonded to patented vertical composite studs. All aluminium components and accessories used are protected by a chromate coating.
